American Old West
The American Old West comprises the history, myths, legends, stories, beliefs and cultural meanings that collected around the
Western United States in the 19th century. Most often the term refers to the late
19th century, between the
American Civil War and the 1890 closing of the frontier. Terms Old West and Wild West refer to life beyond the settled
frontier. While this terminology could logically place the setting as far back as the
American colonial period, it is usually meant to signify the area from the "
Frontier Strip" (i.e., the six U.S. states from North Dakota south to Texas) west to the
Pacific Ocean. Sometimes the tier of states just east of the Frontier strip (Minnesota to Louisiana) are also seen as the "Wild West" because of their stance as gateways.
