Editorial Reviews
Review
"Though not unprecedented, it is unusual to discover a collection of essays, however tightly themed and carefully chosen, that is superior to a single-authored book on a single subject. But anyone who wants to learn about film and has time to read it should definitely choose Hollywood's West." -- Western American Literature

"Another strong compilation from the editors of Film & History.... Eclectic interpretations of an institution that will always be a part of the American landscape.-- Robert Fyne, author of The Hollywood Propaganda of World War II" -- Robert Fyne, author of The Hollywood Propaganda of World War II
""Framed by a solid introduction and, at the back end of it, an excellent filmography and a first-rate bibliography, Hollywood's West: The American Frontier in Film, Television, and History offers both canonical and revisionist insights into the Western. The editors plunge into their introduction with all the vigor of a Sooner land rush, attending to Western history, art, and scholarship at breakneck speed."" -- Armando Jose Prats, Great Plains Quarterly
