Promotional Information

Try to imagine the United States without the Stetson, the surfboard, Route 66, or Las Vegas. Images of the Wild West, both past and present-from Jesse James to Baywatch-pervade American culture and provide the world with its ideas of the "real" America.

This volume is recommended for high school, academic, and public libraries primarily as enrichment material for reference collections. In addition, those in the field of communications will find it useful in analyzing the symbolic Western references in such presentations as political speeches and corporate advertisements." - American Reference Books Annual
