Century West by Howard Chaykin
- Century, Texas used to be a sleepy little burg, barely a whistlestop between nowhere and the great beyond...until the 20th Century arrived with a bang, bringing with it automobiles, aeroplanes, telephones, paved streets...and, of course, the movies.
- Howard Chaykin tells the colorful story of the American West, transformed from frontier to legend, and how the American dream became a modern myth.
