Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 1555914861, Paperback)

Frederick Turner has once again penned his sharp-witted observations on the unusual and often intriguing dichotomy of the real and the legendary in the American West.

*Now in its third edition, Of Chilies, Cacti, and Fighting Cocks remains a touchstone of popular Western literature
*Expanded edition includes two new essays
*Anyone interested in history, environmental issues, the American West, and particularly Native American history will give a resounding cheer for Turner's contribution to the endlessly fascinating American West
