Virgin Land: The American West as Symbol and Myth af Henry Nash Smith

4805. Virgin Land The American West as Symbol and Myth, by Henry Nash Smith (read 15 Mar 2011) (Bancroft Prize in 1951) I read this because it won a Bancroft prize in 1951.

I could not get very excited about the book, though some of what he talked about was of some interest.
