The Wild Wild West premiered on CBS in 1965, just as network dominance of television Westerns was waning and the global James Bond phenomenon was in full force. Described as "James Bond on horseback," the series was like nothing else on TV before or since--a genre hybrid that followed the adventures of 1870s Secret Service agents James West and Artemus Gordon, on special assignment from President Ulysses S. Grant. The show featured clever gadgets and costumes, carefully choreographed action and fight sequences, and stories that melded elements of Western, science fiction, fantasy, espionage and detective genres. This book provides in-depth critical analysis of this unique, eclectic series, considered one of the primary influences on Steampunk subculture.

In "The Wild Wild West 'Äì William MacLeod Raine Collection," readers are transported to the untamed landscapes of the American frontier, where adventure and conflict shape the lives of rugged men and strong-willed women. Raine's prose is marked by a vivid, cinematic quality that brings to life the rough-hewn terrain and the moral complexities faced by his characters. This collection weaves together themes of loyalty, justice, and survival, reflecting the romanticized yet authentic essence of Western literature during the early 20th century, a time when America was grappling with its identity and frontier mythology. William MacLeod Raine (1871-1954) was an American author whose life experiences as a Wyoming ranch hand and lawman greatly influenced his storytelling. His deep familiarity with Western culture, combined with his keen sense of narrative, allowed him to capture the spirit of the time while engaging with the evolving dynamics of American society. Raine's background also informed his nuanced portrayal of the West, as he explored both heroism and the inevitable harsh realities faced by those who ventured into the wilderness. This collection is a must-read for enthusiasts of Western fiction and anyone intrigued by the themes of honor and courage against the backdrop of a transforming America. Raine's engrossing tales not only entertain but also provoke thought about the broader implications of the Western mythos, making this collection an essential addition for both scholars and casual readers alike.

The Wild West: a term that conjures up pictures of wagon trains, unspoiled prairies, Indians, rough 'n' ready cowboys, roundups, and buffalo herds. Where did this collection of images come from? Paul Reddin exposes the mythology of the American frontier as a carefully crafted product of the Wild West show. Focusing on such pivotal figures as George Catlin, Buffalo Bill Cody, and Tom Mix, Reddin traces the rise and fall of a popular entertainment shaped out of the "raw material of America." Buffalo Bill and other entertainers capitalized on public fascination with the danger, heroism, and courage associated with the frontier by continually modifying their presentation of the West to suit their audiences. Thus the Wild West show, contrary to its own claims of accuracy and authenticity, was highly selective in its representations of the West as well as widely influential in shaping the public image of life on the Great Plains. A uniquely American entertainment--colorful, energetic, unabashed, and, as Reddin demonstrates, self-made--the Wild West show exerted an appeal that was all but irresistible to a public hovering uncertainly between industrial progress and nostalgia for a romanticized past.
