American Mythmaker (Hardcover)
Language: English
Published by University of Oklahoma Press, Oklahoma, 2015
ISBN 10: 0806146850 ISBN 13: 9780806146850
Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Billy the Kid, Wyatt Earp, and Joaquin Murrieta are fixed in the American imagination as towering legends of the Old West. But that has not always been the case. There was a time when these men were largely forgotten relics of a bygone era. Then, in the early twentieth century, an obscure Chicago newspaperman changed all that. Walter Noble Burns (1872-1932) served with the First Kentucky Infantry during the Spanish-American War and covered General John J. Pershing's pursuit of Pancho Villa in Mexico as a correspondent for the Chicago Tribune. However history-making these forays may seem, they were only the beginning. In the last six years of his life, Burns wrote three books that propelled New Mexico outlaw Billy the Kid, Tombstone marshal Wyatt Earp, and California bandit Joaquin Murrieta into the realm of legend. Despite Burns's remarkable command of his subjects - based on exhaustive research and interviews - he has been largely ignored by scholars because of the popular, even occasionally fictional, approach he employed. In American Mythmaker, the first literary biography of Burns, Mark J. Dworkin brings Burns out of the shadows. Through careful analysis of The Saga of Billy the Kid (1926), Tombstone: An Iliad of the Southwest (1927), and The Robin Hood of Eldorado: The Saga of Joaquin Murrieta (1932) and their reception, Dworkin shows how Burns used his journalistic training to introduce the history of the American West to his era's general readership. In the process, Burns made his subjects household names. Are Burns's books fact or fiction? Was he a historian or a novelist? Dworkin considers these questions as he uncovers the story behind Burns's mythmaking works. A long-overdue biography of a writer who shaped our idea of western history, American Mythmaker documents in fascinating detail the fashioning of some of the greatest American legends. Billy the Kid, Wyatt Earp, and Joaquin Murrieta are fixed in the American imagination as towering legends of the Old West. But that has not always been the case. There was a time when these men were largely forgotten relics of a bygone era. Then, in the early twentieth century, an obscure Chicago newspaperman changed all that.

First Edition
First edition. 8vo. xv, 269 pp., contents, illustrations, preface, acknowledgments, author's note, appendices, notes, bliography, index. "Walter Noble Burns, a Chicago Inter Ocean book critic fell in love with Wild West lore and popularized the stories of its most legendary figures while attempting to get at the historical truth of their lives and times. Burns made extensive use of in-depth interviews and immersed himself in contemporary newspaper accounts of events concerning his subjects. He also resided for months in Tombstone to unearth the story of that notorious Arizona mining town and its gunslingers. He traveled across New Mexico for three months to gather details necessary to re-create the characters in the Lincoln County War. With Burns's retelling of the Lincoln County War, Billy the Kid, aka William Bonney, became a household name. Dworkin convincingly argues that scholars have ignored Burns because of the way he blended the factual with the fictional in telling lively, flowing stories of Billy the Kid, Tombstone lawman Wyatt Earp, and Mexican outlaw and folk hero Joaquin Murrieta. Burns's belief that good history must be interestingly told led him to take liberties in describing the critical events of these people's lives. In this book Dworkin seeks to establish that Burns wasn?t just a hack writer but rather Burns was intentionally creating a mythology for America. The first book-length biography of Walter Noble Burns (1872-1932). As new, unread copy in dust jacket.
