VANISHING
TRAILS
EXPEDITIONS
Shebby Lee Tours'
Vanishing Trails Expeditions
pay tribute to the great westward migrations of the mid 19th century, including
the military and Native American influences of the "Manifest Destiny" period.
Follow in the tracks of these intrepid
pioneers, experience the romance of the fur trade, immerse yourself in our
cowboy heritage. Take a horseback ride across the open prairie; thrill to the
excitement of a wild west rodeo; meet a tribal elder in his own home or relish
the sights and sounds of a traditional Native American pow wow; retrace the
paths of pioneer covered wagons and see the actual ruts which have survived more
than a century of sun, wind and weather.
Americans pride themselves on building a
nation through such unprecedented westward expansion, but the story also
includes hundreds of thousands of Native Americans who were unaware that their
"savage" land need taming. Shebby Lee Tours also offers interpretive tours
focusing on Native American tribes or events which impacted their lives. Now
you can walk in the moccasins of some of these bands, learn of their tragedies,
and appreciate the triumph of their spirit as modern-day Native Americans strive
to preserve their culture and folkways.
Historic trails...
.... provide powerful and provocative
stories that cannot be captured by articles, books, or broadcast documentaries.
Along with historic places, they are symbols and evidence of our shared
heritage. They educate us about the people and events, places and landscapes of
the American past - and about the aspirations and actions that produced those
tangible survivors.
If you would like to experience first hand
the excitement of America’s westward expansion movement, the Vanishing Trails
Expeditions are your ticket to adventure.
