The Wild West by Peter Harrison

Was the Wild West really like it seems in the movies? This title in the "Discovery" series explores the reality behind the screen image and shows what life was like for the pioneers who braved the journey across an unknown wilderness and the Native Americans who were confronted by the newcomers. Meet the cowboys who lived their life driving cattle across hundreds of miles, and the outlaws who found it easier to live by the gun than by more honest means. "Thw Wild West" includes real-life accounts, photographs of people and artefacts, and images from the movies. It shows how people survived, where they slept, what they ate, what they wore and how they travelled. There are ten interactive projects, including cooking a cowboy meal and making a Native American sand painting.
