Description
In this celebrated collection of essays, the real and the legendary American West collide, and in their wake we are blessed with the carefully crafted and sharp-witted observations of Frederick Turner-historian, storyteller, biographer, and naturalist. Of Chiles, Cacti, and Fighting Cocks, expanded with three new essays, explores the crossroads where Eastern America's imagination meets the hard twist, rough-and-tumble West, a place where legends and men have been made and broken.
