Book Synopsis
An informative and thought-provoking examination of the Wild West's foreign tours, The Popular Frontier offers new insight into late-nineteenth-century gender politics and ethnicity, the development of American nationalism, and the simultaneous rise of a global mass culture.

Trade Review
In these concise, accessible essays, eleven scholars direct our gaze through an unlikely window upon the transatlantic travels of Buffalo Bill's Wild West. In showing how Europeans transformed America's frontier mythology to meet their own cultural needs, the essays - instructive, interlocking, and colorful, even kaleidoscopic, much like the Wild West show itself - also reveal how the exhibition's international journeys redefined the nation for its American audiences."" - Louis S. Warren, author of Buffalo Bill's America: William Cody and the Wild West Show
