"Epic in its scale, fearless in its scope" (Hampton Sides), this masterfully told account of the American West from a two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist sets a new standard as it sweeps from the California Gold Rush and beyond. In Dreams of El Dorado, H. W. Brands tells the thrilling, panoramic story of the settling of the American West. He takes us from John Jacob Astor's fur trading outpost in Oregon to the Texas Revolution, from the California gold rush to the Oklahoma land rush. He shows how the migrants' dreams drove them to feats of courage and perseverance that put their stay-at-home cousins to shame-and how those same dreams also drove them to outrageous acts of violence against indigenous peoples and one another. The West was where riches would reward the miner's persistence, the cattleman's courage, the railroad man's enterprise; but El Dorado was at least as elusive in the West as it ever was in the East. Balanced, authoritative, and masterfully told, Dreams of El Dorado sets a new standard for histories of the American West.

Danger at every turn... The frontier of the early West is a place of danger, lawlessness and corruption. Yet along the Southern trails, there is silver to be found, nestled in the great hills. And in these dark and desperate times in an untamed land, people will do anything they can to get their hands on a fortune. Men will kill for less than a handful of gold, and no one lives long by taking chances. Whilst riding along a lonely and desolate trail, drifter Lanner encounters a dying man with a priceless secret - a map containing the location of the fabled El Dorado silver mine. The dying man bequeaths the map to Lanner, but possessing this knowledge puts Lanner in grave danger. Upon riding into a nearby town, Lanner is immediately treated with suspicion and contempt. It's not long before several attempts are made upon his life, all with the aim of seizing possession of the priceless map. Can Lanner escape this band of outlaws and find the legendary mine? Or will he be outnumbered? El Dorado Trail is a breathtaking adventure of the Wild West's fabled history - the perfect choice for fans of Louis L'Amour and Zane Grey. John Glasby was born in 1928, and graduated from University with an honours degree in Chemistry. He started his career as a research chemist for I.C.I. in 1952, and worked for them until his retirement. During the early 1960s, Glasby wrote dozens of paperback westerns, all of which were reprinted in hardcover and paperback four decades later. Following his retirement from I.C.I., Glasby produced a steady stream of new westerns, science fiction and crime novels, right up to his death in 2010. His westerns include Justice at Red River, Cain Brand, Flashpoint, Crimson Dust, Brand of the Hunted, Triple Peaks and Bowie of the Alamo.

Excerpt from The Forty-Niners: A Chronicle of the California Trail and El Dorado For the next thirty years after the founding of the first mission in 1769, the grasp of Spain on California was assured. Men who could do, suffer, and endure occupied the land. They made their mistakes in judgment and in methods, but the strong fiber of the pioneer was there. The original padres were almost without exception zealous, devoted to poverty, uplifted by a fanatic desire to further their cause. The original Spanish temporal leaders were in general able, energetic, courageous, and not afraid of work or fearful of disaster.
