Explores the deployment and transformation of the frontier myth by four US presidents: Theodore Roosevelt, Lyndon B. Johnson, Ronald Reagan, and George W. Bush. Behind the shape-shifting of this myth, David Smith finds major events that have made aspects of the ‘Old West’ frontier useful for promoting different political ideologies and agendas.
