Jesse James, General Custer, and Casey Jones. The Pony Express, The Momonhandcart odyssey to Zion. The Forty-Niners pick-and-shovel pilgrimage to Mammon.These are the colorful stuff of Western American folklore, part of an original andvital heritage passed on through songs, tales, and dime novels in the last century, and movies, advertising, and television serials in our own. In The Code of the Westfolklorist Bruce Rosenberg takes a look at some of the most durable legends offrontier days, explores the origins of their popularity, and deciphers the messages-- or code -- they communicate. What emerges is a fuller understanding of Americanculture as a whole, for Rosenberg shows us that American attitudes toward the Westhave always been linked to the hopes, ideals, and aspirations of thenation.
