Publisher's Synopsis

Exploring the vast literature produced by the romoters and reminiscers of the American West from the end of the Civil War through the 1920s, this book clarifies the pivotal impact of their works on our vision of both the historic and mythic West, and shows us that the West may well move into the twenty-first century, but our images of it are forever rooted in the nineteenth.
