Annotation |
This book is about the American West--its myths and the people who shaped them. But it goes well beyond cowboys, settlers and miners. Mark Twain, John Wayne, Zane Grey, even Willie Nelson make the list of mythmakers of the West. The book also covers such unexpected topics as Marilyn Monroe, John Denver, the Beach Boys and the Mormon Tabernacle. The book explains the concept of the West and why the author included certain subjects.
