Imagine being transported to the American West several hundred years ago—vast, desolate, with endless grasslands and herds of wild cattle grazing. It may sound a bit unbelievable, but what we are about to tell is a series of thrilling and exciting stories that began from that time. The story spans several hundred years, but by reading this book, you will quickly become familiar with them. The stories in this book are like a journey, but it's not an ordinary journey—you don't need to take a plane, car, or ship. In fact, you can travel through time without leaving your home! Open the book, and time flies by at your fingertips: hours, days, or even years. You stay in the same place, but changes keep happening. Every moment—meaning every stop in your journey—is a new chapter in the story: the Native Americans owning their land, the arrival of overseas colonizers, the rise of farms, villages, and towns, the emergence of railways, and cowboys, criminals, and gunfights—all telling the famous story of the "Wild West."
