Michael L. Johnson is professor of English at the University of Kansas and recipient of the Western Writers of America Spur Award, the Frederick Manfred Prize, and the Ben Franklin Award. His other books include New Westers: The West in Contemporary American Culture (also from Kansas), From Hell to Jackson Hole: A Poetic History of the American West, and Violence and Grace: Poems about the American West.
Move over Henry Nash Smith, Roderick Nash, and Richard Slotkin. This stunning volume immediately vaults Michael Johnson to the forefront of authorities on the Wilderness West. A brilliant and profound study. Richard W. Etulain, author of Beyond the Missouri: The Story of the American West ""Provides us all with a new and insightful way of looking forward that places him in the rarified company of Frederick Jackson Turner, Henry Nash Smith, and Patricia Nelson Limerick in providing a fresh western synthesis."" Paul A. Hutton, author of Phil Sheridan and His Army ""An astonishing book - an epic, often jaw-dropping survey of our centuries-long love affair with the untamed West."" Michael Steiner, coeditor of Many Wests: Place, Culture, and Regional Identity
