This volume surveys the legacy of historic sites and buildings bequeathed by the three types of pioneers whose exaggerated stereotypes still live in American folklore, each sharing the role of decicively shaping the American West: frontier mining, stockraising and farming. Under the Historic Sites Act of 1935, the Survey identifies historic and prehistoric places of significance to the Nation. The first 100 pages is devoted to the history of the West and the remainder of the book lists more than 170 sites, many with photographs. National Registry of Historic Landmarks
