Had you left New York or San Francisco at ten o'clock this morning, by noon the day after tomorrow you could step out at Cheyenne. There, you would find yourself at the heart of a vanished world. No journeys, save those of memory, can take you back to it now. The mountains shine, the sunlight glimmers, and the air feels like a true fountain of youth—but the buffalo, wild antelope, and horsemen with their herds are gone. The sagebrush appears unchanged, leading you to expect the horseman to appear, yet he rides only in the past. You will no longer see him gallop out of silence, just as you won't witness Columbus sailing from Palos. The horseman seems close enough that some chapters, published at the end of the nineteenth century, used the present tense. However, time has flowed faster than ink, and those verbs have now changed from "is" and "have" to "was" and "had." This book serves as a reproduction of an important historical work, utilizing advanced technology to digitally reconstruct the original while repairing imperfections. In rare cases, some flaws from the original may remain, but most are successfully addressed to preserve the essence of these historical texts.
