"The purpose of this study is to assemble data on historic sites believed to be of exceptional value in commemorating or illustrating the history of the Santa Fe Trail. It became apparent that the historical theme of westward expansion was too vast to be adequately treated within a single study. The theme was therefore divided into a number of separate sub themes, of which 'The Santa Fe Trail' is one." - from the Introduction.
