Poised between fiction and fact, literature and history, Wilder¿s life is a fascinating window on the American West.Placing Wilder¿s life and work in historical context, and including previously unpublished material from the Wilder archives, Sallie Ketcham introduces students to domestic frontier life, the conflict between Native Americans and infringing white populations, and the West in public memory and imagination.
