Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether seen as a land of opportunity or as paradise lost, the American West took shape in the nation's imagination with the help of those who wrote about it; but two groups who did much to shape that perception are often overlooked today. Promoters trying to lure settlers and investors to the West insisted that the frontier had already been tamed-that the only frontiers remaining were those of opportunity. Through posters, pamphlets, newspaper articles, and other printed pieces, these boosters literally imagined places into existence by depicting backwater areas as settled, culturally developed regions where newcomers would find none of the hardships associated with frontier life. Quick on their heels, some of the West's original settlers had begun publishing their reminiscences in books and periodicals and banding together in pioneer societies to sustain their conception of frontier heritage. Their selective memory focused on the savage wilderness they had tamed, exaggerating the past every bit as much as promoters exaggerated the present. Although they are generally seen today as unscrupulous charlatans and tellers of tall tales, David Wrobel reveals that these promoters and reminiscers were more significant than their detractors have suggested. By exploring the vast literature produced by these individuals from the end of the Civil War through the 1920s, he clarifies the pivotal impact of their works on our vision of both the historic and mythic West. In examining their role in forging both sense of place within the West and the nation's sense of the West as a place, Wrobel shows that these works were vital to the process of identity formation among westerners themselves and to the construction of a "West" in the national imagination. Wrobel also sheds light on the often elitist, sometimes racist legacies of both groups through their characterizations of Native Americans, African Americans, Mexican Americans, and Asian Americans. In the era Wrobel examines, promoters painted the future of each western place as if it were already present, while the old-timers preserved the past as if it were still present. But, as he also demonstrates, that West has not really changed much: promoters still tout its promise, while old-timers still try to preserve their selective memories. Even relatively recent western residents still tap into the region's mythic pioneer heritage as they form their attachments to place. Promised Lands shows us that the West may well move into the twenty-first century, but our images of it are forever rooted in the nineteenth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forty-First Annual Reunion of the Old Settlers of Johnson County: August 23, 1907 The day was a beautiful one and the attendance from the country was large; the city was not as well represented as usual. The program was an interesting one, the address by J udge Remley of J ones County was very fine and it is to be regretted that no notes were furnished so that it could have been published with the proceedings. The addresses al ways contain much interesting and valuable historical mat ter, and should always be preserved by publication in full. At noon the well loaded tables were occupied by groups of friends and Bruce Moore's coffee made fragrant the groves about the cabins. The dinner hour over the mem bers gathered about the speaker's stand. After an invoca tion by Rev. H. H. Fairall, J udge Remley was introduced and treated his hearers to a very able address. Short talks were given by Charles Baker and others, and letters read from Mrs. Wright of Illinois, Carey R. Smith and Andrew Beermaker of California, E. C. Haynes of Montana, A. 0. Price and Thomas M. Irish of Iowa. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
