The history of the Wild West has long been fictionalized in novels,
films, and television shows. Catering to these popular
representations, towns across America have created tourist sites
connecting such tales with historical monuments. Yet these
attractions stray from known histories in favor of the embellished
past visitors expect to see. In Mythic Frontiers, Daniel Maher
illustrates how aggrandized versions of the past have been used to
turn a profit. Examining the imagined frontier town of Fort Smith,
Arkansas, Maher warns that disconnecting cultural heritage tourism
from history minimizes the devastating consequences of imperialism,
racism, and sexism and relegitimizes the privilege bestowed upon
white men.
