Notes: The Old Spanish Trail is a designated National Historic Trail, passing through 6 states–Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, and California–over various routes from Santa Fe to Los Angeles (see map above), all in pursuit of trade (and profit).  These are brief biographies/histories of 24 people and families who were important in the Trail’s “period of significance” (1829-1848).  Indians, Anglos, Mexicans–not just Kit Carson and John C. Fremont.   Quick reads.  Love the font size.
