Notes:  Everybody remember Look magazine, the competitor to Life?  Doctor’s office/barber shop/waiting room specials?  This volume, while the title says “Santa Fe Trail” is really more “westward expansion.”  Lots of historical drawings, historical black-and-white photographs (Look was famous for those), light on the serious history.  More than just the Santa Fe Trail, which, in this case, ends in Hollywood.
