Description
"[This resource] includes a comprehensive look at the historical American West and its neighboring territories to the north and south. It also recognizes that when the frontier West of history ended in the early 1900s, the West of myth and legend was already born. In examining the ongoing social and cultural impact of the West--the ways in which memory and myth cooperate and quarrel--and in including the region's lore alongside its history, The Old West takes a distinctive and imaginative approach to a period and a place unlike any other"--Publisher's Web site
