Book Description
President of the newly founded Old Spanish Trail (OST) National Association, Kessler states, "The OST may be the most important trail of all. Perhaps neither the Santa Fe nor the Oregon Trails would have developed had the means of transportation not been made available. It was the horse & mule trade on the OST that brought these animals from California to Missouri to facilitate the settling of the West." The OST wove through six states, linking Santa Fe, NM to Los Angeles, CA. Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell has noted the trail's importance by promoting (in 1995) a bill to designate the OST as a National Trail. This traveler's guidebook gives an exciting & detailed look at this lesser-known portion of the OST. RETRACING will specify highways that parallel the OST & visit sites where wagon ruts are still visible. Stories & legends abound with many suggestions for "things-to-see!" Whether a weekend or an extended outing is planned, RETRACING can help fill every moment. To order contact: Adobe Village Press, P.O. Box 510, Monte Vista, CO 81144. 719-852-5225.

Book Description
As he approached their mining camp, Bob knew something was wrong. He smelled death in the tunnel. While nineteen-year-old Bob Brant is away hunting, his mine is attacked and he returns to discover the mine in ruins and two dead bodies-one of which is his own father. So begins Bob's quest to hunt down the men responsible. He straps on his holster, grabs his Colt .45, and tracks them from Death Valley southwest into the Mojave Desert, where he finds more devastation-the bodies of his partners murdered in cold blood. As Bob becomes even more eager to complete his pursuit of revenge, his story arouses the interest of the public, dime novelists, and law enforcement officers. Over the next ten months those most interested keep track of Bob as he deals out his personal brand of Death Valley justice. Assisting Bob is a beautiful young Pinkerton detective, JJ Majors. If you love a suspenseful Western, gunfights, and justice, pull on your boots and join Robert C. Nuzum in 1887 on the Old Spanish Trail Treasure!

Book Description
Historic pioneer trails serve as some of the most fascinating links to our nation's past and retracing them can be an exhilarating and educational experience. Following the Santa Fe Trail is aimed at assisting modern travelers to enlarge their understanding of the trail and increase the enjoyment that comes from following in the wagon tracks of pioneers. Originating in Franklin, Missouri, the Santa Fe Trail was the first and most exotic of America's great trans-Mississippi pathways to the west. Although the era of the trail ceased, its glory-days are still part of the collective imagination of America. Complete with directions, maps, anecdotes, and historical information, Following the Santa Fe Trail takes the traveler on an authentic historic journey. Modern paved highways now parallel much of the old wagon route and with this guide a modern adventurer can retrace large sections of the trail. Since Following the Santa Fe Trail first appeared in 1984, the trail was designated a National Historic Trail under the National Park Service and public interest has mushroomed. This completely revised third edition now updates all directions and clarifies the changes that have taken place in the last 15 years.

Book Description
The Mission Road: “And lo! A light from Heaven shown down, And I beheld through the briars The Mission Road of the Franciscan friars.” Early on the morning, April 6, 2013 while visiting the old Suwannee River crossing at Charles Spring, I saw this beam from the heavens shining as if to mark the trail for me. This digital image, entitled “Photograph of the Bellamy Road, Charles Spring, which is thought to be a part of the Old Spanish Trail,” was placed in the Viva Florida 500 statewide time capsule and was sealed in the R. A. Gray Building, Tallahassee on December 31, 2013. It will be opened on Mar. 3, 2095. The state of Florida is entering some significant anniversaries in its history. The year 2013 ushered in Viva Florida 500, a state effort to celebrate and promote the Spanish discovery of Florida and 500 years of Spanish influence upon it. The year 2015 marked the 450th birthday of St. Augustine, the oldest continuously occupied city in the United States. Consequently there has been a renewed interest in the most famous road in the state’s history. Yes, Florida can boast as having the oldest city, but perhaps it also has the oldest road, for almost from the inception of St. Ausustine, inroads into the hinterland ensued. It is surprising that Florida’s royal road, El Camino Real, has never been accurately defined until now. Many have heard of the Old Spanish Trail, but have misleading ideas of its use and course. Often times, it is confused with the trail of the same name out West. Some think it extended from St. Augustine to Mexico, and, perhaps, the greatest error, is to associate it with U. S. Highway 90. Robert Hurst takes the reader on a 465 mile journey through the eyes of early Spaniards and others across the marshes, swamps, rivers, natural bridges, and highlands of Florida from St. Augustine to Pensacola. He describes the methods of ferrying men, cargo and horses across the many rivers encountered. The reader will travel in the footsteps of Spaniards, English and American soldiers. He will experience the hardships of river crossings and encounter the various tribes of Native Americans, their villages and the Catholic missions along the way. He will experience the tired traveler’s joy upon reaching the many remarkable springs along the trail. In short, this book is about the struggle of man and beast to penetrate the wild, untamed Florida wilderness of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The reader will discover the course and experience what travel was like along the real Old Spanish Trail. Accompanying the text are appendices, photographs and maps. In the appendices, the reader will discover driving roads and hiking trails that replicate the experience of travel on this most famous and historic trail. The photographs illustrate the pristine parts of the existing trail, and the early and contemporary maps enable the reader to actually visit parts of the old trail. This is a book that will not only interest the reader with historical and archaeological interests, but also the outdoor adventurer and the Florida heritage\ecotourist. The publication of this work is long overdue. Florida’s oldest, most famous, and longest road has not received the attention it deserves. It is the author’s hope that the attention this book will receive will help save what is left of one of Florida’s most important heritage sites.
