MYTHMAKERS OF THE WEST: SHAPING AMERICA'S IMAGINATION
Murray, John A.
2001 40154 Murray (formerly: English, University of Alaska) considers the mythic import of the West in American culture, and as an American ideal. He traces the development of that sense of legend, in more or less chronological order, as it has been shaped by art, film, literature, music, and popular culture. He considers how the idea of the West has been formed by the contributions of people like Georgia O'Keefe, John Wayne, Marylin Monroe, Lewis and Clark, Mark Twain, John Muir, Edward Abbey, Woody Guthrie, Buddy Holly, John Denver, and Willie Nelson. He also discusses the impact of folk legends, Mormonism, the Santa Fe Railway, dude ranches, advertising, and Route 66. Approximately 100 photographs are included. Published at Forty Dollars, 184 pages. Northland Publishing, 0-87358-799-5 / 9780873587990
