The Wild West on Five Bits a Day

Put on your spurs, fill your pockets with gold dust and ammunition, and plan
your trip back in time to America's legendary frontier in 1880. Drawing on
contemporary newspapers and travel memoirs, Joan Tapper offers advice on
the cleanest boarding houses and filthiest saloons, what to eat, what to wear,
who to meet - and who to avoid - and how to get out of Dodge in a hurry if
you fail to spot the difference. From navigating the new railroads to avoiding
calamity when you finally meet Calamity Jane, this entertaining guide
belongs in the holster of every discerning time-travelling tourist.
