Publisher's Note
The American West has always been seen as a land of opportunity, but tourism has transformed it into a land of opportunism. From Sun Valley to Santa Fe, towns all over the region have been turned over to outsiders -- not just those who visit, but those who control.

Industry Reviews
In the post-Civil War years, Americans turned west to fulfill their dreams of a Manifest Destiny. Soon even common folks could travel to the West in large numbers, thanks to the railroad and then the automobile, which made popular attractions like Santa Fe, Las Vegas, and the national parks, ski areas, and dude ranches accessible to everyone. Eventually, tourism transformed the Western communities it touched. Rothman (history, Univ. of Nevada, Las Vegas; Reopening the American West, Univ. of Arizona, 1998) examines this transformation, systematically addressing the social, cultural, environmental, and economic costs of tourism. Another interpreter of the "new Western history," he sees the West as a colony of Eastern industrial capital. Building on Earl Pomeroy's In Search of the Golden West (1957; Univ. of Nebraska, 1990. reprint) this is a vital and significant addition to the literature. Recommended for all libraries, especially those with Western Americana collections. Patricia Ann Owens, Wabash Valley Coll., Mt. Carmel, IL
