"Morgan's choice of primary sources--diaries, journals, letters, memoirs, and official reports--provides eyewitness accounts rich in colorful detail and fascinating anecdotes. As Far as the Eye Could Reach is a welcome addition to the literature on the historic trails of the Old West."-- Deborah Lawrence , coauthor of Writing the Trails: Five Women's Frontier Narratives, "This significant and finely crafted study of the animals and human-animal relationships on the historic Road to Santa Fe explains the importance of the animals to travelers and is presented with respect and admiration for those animals. It deserves a wide audience."-- Leo E. Oliva, author of Soldiers on the Santa Fe Trail
