- Abstract (en)
- Collection of 16 essays focusing on actual landscapes of the American West as seen through history and rendered in photography, art and folklore. The stories these images depict tend to underline the disparity between the perceived success of the westward movement, with its hope and optimism, and the reality of its loss, failure and disillusionment. Organized in three sections: Landscape in history, photography, art and folklore; Landscape in fiction and film; and The relationship between language and landscape. Contributors are: James Ronda, Patricia Limerick, Susan Hegeman, Howard Lamar, Barbara Allen, Cynthia Taylor, Suzanne Kehde, Annette Van Dyke, Jacqueline Smetak, Richard Hutson, Michael Kowalewski, Leonard Engel, John Gourlie, Richard Slotkin, Jane Tompkins and A. Carl Bredahl.
