Century, Texas, used to be a sleepy little burg, barely a whistlestop between nowhere and the great beyond...until the 20th Century arrived with a bang. Howard Chaykin tells the colorful story of the American West, transformed from frontier to legend, and how the American dream became a modern myth.

The best-dressed gunslinger the Wild West ever knew is back in the saddle again-and this time, he's riding with a posse! That's right, pardners, it's a brand new rip-roaring adventure of the Rawhide Kid!
