How Hollywood Invented the Wild West - Featuring the Real West, Campfire Melodies, Matinee Idols, Four Legged Friends, Cowgirls & Lone Guns

Deconstructing Wild West mythology through Hollywood's lens.

If you've ever been fascinated by the rugged, romanticized version of cowboys and outlaws, this book peels back the curtain to show you how much of what we think we know about the Wild West is actually a cinematic fabrication. It's a delightful deep dive into the influence of film and pop culture on our understanding of history, filled with anecdotes and visuals that might just reshape your ideas of the frontier days.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
