The Santa Fe Trail began in 1821 when William Becknell headed west with a wagon full of goods. While this trail was used by voyageurs and American Natives for years, Becknell’s trip opened the American West. So many headed out with stories of their own that became inseparable poems and music. This book/audiobook aims to preserve the 200-year history of the trail by culturally carrying it into the future with the words of Texas Poets Laureate karla k. morton and Alan Birkelbach, the music of Michael Martin Murphey, and the art of Bob Boze Bell. This is the essence of America moving into a new world.
