These and other frontier images pervade our lives, from fiction to films to advertising, where they attach themselves to products from pancake syrup to cologne, blue jeans to banks. Richard White and Patricia Limerick join their inimitable talents to explore our national preoccupation with this uniquely American image. Richard White examines the two most enduring stories of the frontier, both told in Chicago in 1893, the year of the Columbian Exposition. One was Frederick Jackson Turner's remarkably influential lecture, "The Significance of the Frontier in American History"; the other took place in William "Buffalo Bill" Cody's flamboyant extravaganza, "The Wild West." Turner recounted the peaceful settlement of an empty continent, a tale that placed Indians at the margins. Cody's story put Indians-and bloody battles-at center stage, and culminated with the Battle of the Little Bighorn, popularly known as "Custer's Last Stand." Seemingly contradictory, these two stories together reveal a complicated national identity.Patricia Limerick shows how the stories took on a life of their own in the twentieth century and were then reshaped by additional voices-those of Indians, Mexicans, African-Americans, and others, whose versions revisit the question of what it means to be an American.Generously illustrated, engagingly written, and peopled with such unforgettable characters as Sitting Bull, Captain Jack Crawford, and Annie Oakley, The Frontier in American Culture reminds us that despite the divisions and denials the western movement sparked, the image of the frontier unites us in surprising ways. 606 $aFrontier and pioneer life$zWest (U.S.)$vExhibitions 607 $aWest (U.S.)$xHistory$vExhibitions 610 $aamerican culture. 610 $aamerican hero. 610 $aamerican history. 610 $aamerican west. 610 $aannie oakley. 610 $abuffalo bill. 610 $acolumbian exposition. 610 $acowboys. 610 $acuster. 610 $aempty continent. 610 $afolk tales. 610 $afolklore. 610 $afrontier. 610 $aindians. 610 $aindigenous peoples. 610 $ajack crawford. 610 $aland rights. 610 $alittle bighorn. 610 $alog cabins. 610 $amanifest destiny. 610 $amilitary. 610 $anational identity. 610 $anative americans. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $aoregon trail. 610 $apioneers. 610 $apopular culture. 610 $asettler colonialism. 610 $asettlers. 610 $asettling the west. 610 $asitting bull. 610 $awagon trains. 610 $awestern movement. 610 $awestern. 610 $awild west show. 610 $awild west. 615 0$aFrontier and pioneer life 676 $a978/.02/0747731 700 $aWhite$b Richard$f1947-$0993443 701 $aLimerick$b Patricia Nelson$f1951-$01011796 701 $aGrossman$b James R$0919292 712 02$aNewberry Library. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778857803321 996 $aThe frontier in American culture$93717613 997 $aUNINA
