The Golden West edited by Alicia Christensen celebrates the Bison Books tradition of giving readers the best historical, literary, and original western literature, bringing together some of the most beloved and iconic stories of the American West.

Published in celebration of Bison Books' 50th anniversary, The Golden West collects iconic Western voices who have published with Bison Books throughout the years. Stories include those depicting adventures of the Corps of Discovery to the trials of the Oregon Trail, from traditional Sioux culture to Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show, and from the cowboys, ranchers, farmers, and mountaineers who often make up our western mythology to their American Indian counterpoints in stories about tribal society, monumental battles, and interaction with white settlers.

The Omaha World-Herald published an editorial saying that “The Golden West is the latest in the important contributions the University of Nebraska Press continues to make to our understanding of this region and its people.”

Take a look at the editorial here.
