Myth of the West

[Ted Samsel]

Hold on there buckaroo,
   The myth of the 'Merkin West started long before Disney. Check out
the Buntline dime novels, James Fenimore Cooper, Zane Grey, Owen Wister,
Frederick Jackson Turner........

(and for the Germans in this group, Karl "Shatterhand" May.)

   Not to mention land and migration promoters...like the foax who
brought you the Donner Party. Now that would be a good western story
for TRP to work on..... (;-)
