  • The Charming World of Tall Tales
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by PublicacionesDidácticas (E-Journal) The charming world of tall tales Autor: Lorenzo Cerviño, Susana María (licenciada en Filología inglesa, Profesora de inglés en educación secundaria). Público: Profesores de 2º de ESO (Sección bilingüe). Materia: Inglés Avanzado. Idioma: Inglés. Title: The charming world of tall tales. Abstract The study of American tall tales of the Wild West gives a thorough understanding of the social and psychological structure of a whole nation. These legends, where exaggeration and humour are central to the story, help forge the character of a nation and explain the origin of landmarks in American history. Human beings have always felt the need to make sense of the world around them and tall tales have helped to entertain those men and women who tried to build a better future crossing a hostile land in search of the American dream. Keywords: Tall tales, hyperbole, American frontier, Wild West, Paul Bunyan, John Henry, Calamity Jane, Pecos Bill Título: Leyendas americanas. Resumen El estudio de las leyendas americanas del lejano oeste promueve una comprensión clara y profunda de la estructura psicológica y social de toda una nación. Estas narraciones de carácter fantástico, en las que la exageración y el humor constituyen el eje central de la historia, permiten forjar el carácter de un pueblo y explicar el origen de lugares emblemáticos de la geografía americana. El ser humano ha tenido siempre la necesidad de dar sentido al mundo que le rodeaba. Las leyendas americanas han servido de entretenimiento a hombres y mujeres que intentaron labrarse un futuro en busca del sueño americano.

New Directions in Frontier Military History: A Review Essay BRUCE J. DINGES It is just possible that the last cavalry charge has thundered across the literary plains and the last celluloid red man has bitten the dust. Let's hope so. For much ofthis century, the Hollywood stereotype of flashing sabers and blood-stained tomahawks has shaped the popular image of the frontier army. But beginning in the 1950s and 1960s, professional historians began to examine in a systematic way the role of the military in the settlement of the West and to raise questions that would not have occurred. to the screenwriters, pulp novelists, buffs, and popu­ larizers who had dominated the field. By doing so, scholars like Robert Athearn, Francis Paul Prucha, William H. Goetzmann, and Robert M.
