  • Summary

  • From old-time radio and classic Hollywood Westerns like The Lone Ranger to blockbuster games like Red Dead Redemption, the violence, peril, and romance of the story of the Wild, Wild West has been exaggerated. Modern-day perceptions of the West are rooted in mythology shaped by mass media. In this episode, we examine the impact that radio, TV, film, and video game depictions have had on how the public imagines the history of the American West and the Santa Fe Trail.
