Contents Description:

The mystique of the Wild West perpetuated by Buffalo Bill, Zane Grey and Louis L'Amour, John Wayne, and the Marlboro Man has hindered the serious study of the real region west of the ninety-eighth meridian. The authors move beyond myth and beyond the influential frontier thesis advanced by Frederick Jackson Turner to write about the American West as it actually developed in the twentieth century. - from the back cover
