 Title:  The Rise and Decline of High Plains Wagon Freighting 1822-1880 ead 
 Date(s):  1822-1880 
 Abstract:  Walker's research is concerned with the importance of wagon freighting in the economic development of the American West. The time period under discussion begins in 1822, with early merchandise wagons making the trip from Franklin, Missouri to Santa Fe, New Mexico. It concludes in 1880, when the railroad system reaches the mining towns of Montana.
