Los 25 mitos mas GRANDES del salvaje oeste que la historia ha desmentido

Twenty-five myths of the Old West with documentary evidence to debunk them. Not modern revisions: original archives, court records, and 19th-century censuses. The Western that cinema instilled in the collective memory was built in three phases: three hundred million dime novels written by journalists who never crossed the Mississippi, forty years of Buffalo Bill's tours that transformed that fiction into an international spectacle, and Hollywood that crystallized it into images for a century. The result replaced history in textbooks across half the world.
