"The Santa Fe Trail," and Other Poems

By Joseph Robert Wilson

"The Santa Fe Trail," and Other Poems" by Joseph Robert Wilson is a poetry compilation that reveals everything about one of the most tragic national highways in the United States. The early history of the Santa Fe Trail, which runs parallel with the Santa Fe Railroad for hundreds of miles, is somewhat obscured by mystery and tradition, but from historical data in possession of the Museum of New Mexico, at Santa Fe, it can be stated with a large degree of accuracy that the trail was started by Spanish explorers three hundred years ago. The passenger looking out of the window of the train on the Santa Fe Railroad will see this trail running for miles parallel with the track, and will be able to people it with the historic traditions which have made the Santa Fe Trail one of the most romantic and tragic national highways in the United States.
