However contested and complicated in reality, western history is one of America's national origin stories that we turn to in times of cultural upheaval. Dude ranches provide a tangible link to the real and imagined past; their persistence and popularity demonstrate how significant this link remains. This book tells their story--in all its familiar, eccentric, and often surprising detail.
