What is The Real Dirt on America's Frontier Legends about?
**Learn the truth behind the famous characters of the Wild West—and how the legends got it wrong—in this lively history that separates fact from fiction.** The historic figures of the Western frontier have fascinated us for generations. But in many cases, the stories we know about them are little more than inventions. Popular legend won't tell you, for instance, that David Crockett was a congressman, or that Daniel Boone was a Virginia legislator. Thanks to penny dreadfuls, Wild West shows, sensationalist newspaper stories, and tall tales told by the explorers themselves, what we know of these men and women is often more fiction than fact. __The Real Dirt on America's Frontier Legends__ separates fact from fiction, showing the legends and the evidence side-by-side to give readers the real story of the old West. Here you'll discover the fascinating truth about Lewis and Clark, Daniel Boone, "Buffalo Bill" Cody, Calamity Jane, Kit Carson, Davy Crocket, and many others.
