The American West: The Invention of a Myth
David H. Murdoch
States that the Wild West of Hollywood and American folklore is nothing more than a functional myth. The author presents a sustained analysis of how the myth originated, and why? He demonstrates that the myth was invented, for the most part deliberately, and then outgrew the purpose of its inventors.
