Summary
As the West unfolded, its legends were even bigger than life. The West was some sort of grand notion where fact and fiction freely intermingled and have all but become inseparable. The tall tales and folklore along with the beliefs and rituals of the Native Americans are as much a part of the legacy of the West as is its history. In this program historians reveal the myths and realities of these romantic and often imaginary tales.
