How has popular culture reinforced Cowboys of the West?
4 answers
Myths, folklore, old radio shows, comics like Will Rogers, and movies all have reinforced cowboys of the west stories in the popular culture.
Ms. Sue left out television. At one time, western dramas were very popular TV programs, emphasizing the rugged individual armed with his six gun, quick on the draw, quick to join a posse to chase the outlaw, often a "lawman" protecting the weak from evil predators.
Ah yes, Reed. How could I forget Gunsmoke??
LOL! Still one of my favorite programs. Actually, it was, in part, historically accurate.
