The U.S. Calvary, the Winchester rifle, and Sam Colt's pistol may have won the West, but it was the Harvey Girls who civilized it. True pioneers, these 100,000 women left homes and families back East for adventure and the chance to earn some money along the Santa Fe Railroad. As waitresses in Fred Harvey's chain of high-quality restaurants, the Harvey Girls made the Santa Fe very popular, and left a mark on the Wild West. This 101-page book includes black & white photography is 9 1/4 x 7 1/2 and softcover.
