The Wagonmasters is the first comprehensive account of this colorful bygone industry and the men who worked the wagon trains--bullwhackers and mile skinners. A breed apart, they developed their own customs and language, greatly enriching American speech. The business was hard, dirty, and dangerous, but the wagon freighters, like the U. S. mail, almost always came through.
