Crossings: Women on the Santa Fe Trail by Frances Levine is a groundbreaking work that brings to light the diverse and often overlooked stories of women who traveled the Santa Fe Trail from the early 1820s through the 1870s. Traditionally viewed as a corridor of commerce and adventure for men, the trail is here re-examined through the lives of women—Indigenous, Hispanic, Black, and white—who crossed it for reasons as varied as opportunity, survival, and agency.
