In Search of the Golden West: The Tourist in Western AmericaThe first transcontinental railroads brought fashionable easterners to the American West. In the 1880s and 1890s they traveled in sumptuous "palace cars" and stayed at luxury hotels. Westerners with an eye on promotion turned to what they took to be their own traditions. After 1900 a wilder West became popular; the Indian was rediscovered, and the cowboy returned to the saddle, if only during fiestas and rodeos. Increasing numbers of tourists headed

The first transcontinental railroads brought fashionable easterners to the American West. In the 1880s and 1890s they traveled in sumptuous "palace cars" and stayed at luxury hotels. Westerners with an eye on promotion turned to what they took to be their own traditions. After 1900 a wilder West became popular; the Indian was rediscovered, and the cowboy returned to the saddle, if only during fiestas and rodeos. Increasing numbers of tourists headed for "natural curiosities" such as the sequoias of Yosemite and the geysers of Yellowstone. Then mass-produced automobiles and cheap air, rail, and bus fares changed the face of western tourism forever. In Search of the Golden West offers splendid old-time photographs and descriptions of nabobs, hucksters, naturalists, dudes, realtors, and motorists--all those who sought the reality and created the myth of the Golden West.

Instant-On Sight-Love Affair
Color: B4/Indigo, Color: B4/Indigo
The bag is adorable! I loved it instantly before even completely unwrapping it. It feels very well made. It's compact but spacious. I'm surprised it doesn't have an inner zipper pocket but it makes up for that by having a zipper that closes the whole bag rather than a snap. And it has 2 outside pockets with closures. It smells like a brand new pair of jeans. I can’t wait to accessorize it and upcycle it to my style. Also, I appreciate learning that it is made with sustainable materials. What a bag! I bought this as a replacement for my Brandon Blackwood waxed denim ESR tote that’s seen better days. They are about the same size but the Coach bag is a bit more spacious. They’re both the same price and seeing as the ESR is 5 years old, I’m surprised the Coach doesn’t cost more. Definitely worth the price. Didn’t want to risk it being sold out to wait for a sale.
