Distinguished historian Richard W. Etulain brings together a generous selection of essays from his sixty-year career as a specialist on the US West in this essential volume. Each essay provides an invaluable overview of the rise of western literary history and historiography--including insightful evaluations of individual historians--revealing summaries of regional literature and discussions of western stories yet to be told. Together these writings furnish readers with useful considerations of important subjects about the American West. All those interested in the American West and its interpreters will find these illuminative moments of literary history and historiography especially appealing.
Richard Etulain is one of the most significant interpreters of Western history, and especially its literary and cultural history, of the past half-century. To gather his essays, old and new, in one volume is a great contribution." —Michael S. Green, author of Nevada: A History of the Silver State "An important topic masterfully executed by the leading authority in the dual fields of literary history and historiography." —David V. Holtby, author of Lest We Forget: World War I and New Mexico
