The Wild West: History, Myth and the Making of America by Frederick Nolan

Disclaimer: I was given a free copy of this book by the publisher in return for an honest review.

A brisk and fun introduction to a subject as vast as its landscape. I'm sure more serious scholars of the period will baulk at its focus on the famous legends rather than the more prosaic forces of history, but Nolan's trick is to use the former as a way into the latter. He remembers why people are fascinated by the Old West and doesn't tell them off for it.
