有關西部生活的電影和書籍讓牛仔的生活看起來似乎很迷人，而且充滿冒險。在「維吉尼亞人」這本書裡，情節迭起的高潮，以及來自東岸受過教育之老師與粗獷大而化之的牛仔之間的浪漫愛情故事，都讓牛仔成為美國民間的英雄人物，而這些故事也成為傳統西部電影常見的情節。你最喜歡西部的哪一個地方？在電影出現之前，人們是怎麼知道西部的戶外生活呢？
Movies and books about the Wild West often make the life of the cowboy seem more glamorous and full of adventure than it really was. In The Virginian, the climactic showdown and tender romance between a refined Eastern schoolteacher and a rough-and-tumble cowhand, made the cowboy into an American folk hero and introduced themes that became standard in American Western movies. What is your favorite part in a Western? How did people learn about the Wild West before there were movies?
