"Primary sources, mainly from 1830-1939, digitized from the Everett D. Graff Collection of Western Americana at the Newberry Library, Chicago. Includes over 300 manuscripts, ranging from the original manuscript journal and papers of James Audubon and a twelve page letter of General Custer to the logbook of a cattle trail driver and the Hinman papers describing the overland trail to California and the Gold Rush; rare or unique ephemeral material including advertisements, claim certificates, cheques, photos, wanted notices and news-sheets; 120 zoomable maps and rare printed works like city directories, pamphlets and leaflets."
Available to UNLV students, faculty and staff only from the "A - Z database list" under "American West"
