"In the essays that follow--though I do attempt to acknowledge two remarkable western women, the poet-novelist Janet Lewis (died age ninety-nine) and the historian Angie Debo (died age ninety-eight)--I have not directly concerned myself with literature. Man may have seven ages, but the West has had only three: the age of Heroes (Lewis and Clark), the age of Publicity (Buffalo Bill), and the age of Suburbia, for which the preferred new term is Urban Sprawl. How we got from the first age to the third, and what we destroyed in the process, is a story historians will be worrying for a long time. Myself, I still mainly like to look." from the Introduction
