The Land Boomer: A Personal Experience Story Of The Rush Of Speculators, Homeseekers And Settlers To The Great Southwest (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781432554804)

The Land Boomer is a personal experience story written by William R. Draper that recounts the rush of speculators, homeseekers, and settlers to the Great Southwest. The book provides a detailed account of Draper's own experiences during this time, as he traveled through the Southwest in search of land and opportunity. The story is set during the late 1800s, a time when the Southwest was experiencing a boom in population and economic growth due to the expansion of railroads and the discovery of natural resources. Draper's narrative is rich in detail and provides a vivid picture of the challenges and opportunities that faced those who sought to make a life in this new and exciting frontier. The Land Boomer is a fascinating and engaging read for anyone interested in the history of the American West and the people who helped shape it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
