The Wild West is born out of the desperation following the Civil War. Outlaws rampage and rob, while lawmen become legends. Though outlaws, Native Americans, and cowboys seem like timeless archetypes, the reality of the Wild West differs from what we see in movies. Who's responsible? Buffalo Bill and his Wild West Show help create the myths of the West, and Hollywood turns facts into fiction.
