New Westers: The West in Contemporary America

by Michael L. Johnson and Michael L. Johnson

Book Overview

Winner: Spur Award, Best Western Nonfiction

"Yeeeeehaaah!" Nightly that raucous cry breezes out from beneath the broad-brimmed Stetsons of boot-scootin line dancers at boisterous bars called Cadillac Ranch, Cactus Moon, or Stallions & Stars. And that, Michael Johnson tells us, is just one of the many signs that Americans have rekindled--and refashioned--their love affair with the American West.
