Trade Paperback. Condition: Fine. Second Edition. 281 Pages Indexed. No defects to this as new gift quality book with flawless interior text pages. The American West was a glittering gold mine for early-day writers, who eagerly extracted from it the names of picturesque heroes to form the foundations of their fanciful and romantic reconstructions. In this book the author examines how folk heroes are created, choosing for the purpose Billy the Kid, as prototype of the outlaw; Wild Bill Hickok, the gunfighter; Kit Carson, the mountain man; and General George A. Custer, the soldier. He finds that these men, whatever the relative importance of their actual exploits, are significant to interpretations of history because of the epic proportions of their legends. By debunking much of the mythology surrounding these four famous Western figures, Steckmesser provides a valuable lesson in critical analysis as well as showing how rumor, untruth, and legend can become accepted as history. Contents in 18 Chapters: The Origins of a Tradition, The Real Christopher Carson, The Genteel Type, A Blood-and-Thunder Hero, The Carson Legend in Perspective, The William Bonney of History, The Satanic Billy, The Saintly Billy, The American Robin Hood, The History of a Reputation, The Pistol Dead Shot, The Civilizer, A Bold, Bad Man, Portrait of a Soldier, The Dead Lion, A Boy's Hero, Glory Hunter, and The Hero in History and Legend.
