At the turn of the twentieth century, they yoked this most popular formula to their own elite causes - from big-game hunting to conservation, immigration restriction to Jim Crow segregation - and aligned themselves with cattle kings and 'quality' publishers. This book tells the story of that cultural sleight-of-hand. 000694487 520__ $$a"From Hollywood films to novels by Louis L'Amour and television series like Gunsmoke and Deadwood, the Wild West has exerted a powerful hold on the cultural imagination of the United States. Beginning with Theodore Roosevelt's founding of the Boone and Crockett Club in 1887, Christine Bold traces the origins and evolution of the western genre, revealing how a group of prominent eastern aristocrats -- a cadre she terms "the frontier club" -- created and propagated the myth of the Wild West to advance their own self-interest as well as larger systems of privilege and exclusion. Mining institutional archives, personal papers, novels, and films, The Frontier Club excavates the hidden social, political, and financial interests behind the making of the modern western. It re-reads frontier-club fiction, most notably Owen Wister's bestseller The Virginian, in relation to federal policies and cultural spaces (from exclusive gentlemen's clubs to national parks to zoos); it casts new light on key clubmen, both the famous and the forgotten -- figures such as Roosevelt, George Bird Grinnell, Silas Weir Mitchell, Henry Cabot Lodge, and Frederic Remington -- while recovering the women on whom these men depended and without whom this version of the popular West would not exist; and it considers the costs of the frontier-club formula, in terms of its impact on Indigenous peoples and its marginalization of other popular voices, including western writings by African Americans, women, and working-class white men. An engaging cultural history that covers print culture, big-game hunting, politics, immigration, Jim Crow segregation, and environmental conservation at the turn of the twentieth century, The Frontier Club provides a welcome new perspective on the enduring American myth of the Wild West." --Publisher's website. 000694487 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000694487 650_0 $$aAmerican literature$$zWest (U.S.)$$xHistory and criticism. 000694487 650_0 $$aWestern stories$$xHistory and criticism. 000694487 650_0 $$aFrontier and pioneer life in literature. 000694487 651_0 $$aWest (U.S.)$$xIn literature. 000694487 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aBold, Christine, 1955-$$tFrontier club.$$dOxford ; New York : Oxford University Press, c2013$$z9780199731794$$z9780199913022$$w(DLC) 2012024725$$w(OCoLC)798437855 000694487 8520_ $$bacq 000694487 85280 $$bebk$$hEbrary 000694487 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=3055108$$zOnline Access 000694487 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:694487$$pGLOBAL_SET 000694487 980__ $$aEBOOK 000694487 980__ $$aBIB 000694487 982__ $$aEbook 000694487 983__ $$aOnline
