    L.A. Times Article rebuttals. From: Polly and John Aulton, I read Bobbie Lieberman’s article with amusement. As children we grow up with “tales” of the Old West. That is if we are fortunate. Was Jesse James shot? Or did he live to a rip old age? Are all the tales of Wyatt Earp true or did books and movies exaggerate his exploits? How about Butch and Sundance? Do we really know the full facts of any of these western figures? Probably not and we probably never will. They are great yarns and have contributed to the myths of the “Old West”. In the settlement of the west Frank Hopkins would appear as a minor character. As such facts would be exceptionally hard to verify. Lots of myth and folklore surround the major characters. It would be no different with Mr. Hopkins. Could a Spanish Mustang have run this type of endurance race? You betcha. They can and do make endurance runs on a regular basis; exceeding the abilities of their Arabian brothers and others. The scenario depicted in John Fusco’s upcoming movie is quite plausible. He has consistently depicted the Mustang in believable situations, with lots of action and in a crowd-pleasing fashion. Could Hidalgo be a Wild West tall tale? Maybe. Then again, maybe not. Who really knows? Certainly not Ms. Lieberman and certainly not I. DO I believe Ms. Leiberman has a hidden agenda with her piece? Possibly. That said, maybe you should consider asking a guest commentator to present the flip side of the Frank Hopkins coin.

Hirschman (Corresponding Author) Hill Richmond Professor of Business Department of Business and Economics University of Virginia-Wise E-mail: [email protected] James A. Vance Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science Department of Mathematics and Computer Science University of Virginia-Wise The post-Civil War decade in the South and West was a time of lawlessness. The economy was in shambles and many former Confederate soldiers were without work and angry over the loss of the war. Some became bandits and engaged in violent attacks against existing businesses and property. Perhaps the most notorious of these were Jesse and Frank James and the Younger Gang. Others were family-based clans who engaged in feuds with those living nearby. The most famous of these were the Hatfields of West Virginia. Using genealogical DNA methods, this research examines the ancestry of the James brothers, the Youngers and the Hatfield clan and shows they were likely Jewish. This finding sheds a new light on the Post-War landscape. Keywords: Genealogical DNA, Jewish Outlaws, Jesse James, Frank James, Younger Gang, Hatfield Clan INTRODUCTION The post-Civil War decades were a time of lawlessness. The economy across the former Confederate states from Virginia to Texas was in shambles and many former Confederate soldiers were without work.

  • Kord Myths 19Thc
    From the American Myth to the American Dream: Alternative Worlds in Recent Hollywood Westerns Susanne Kord, UCL ‘This is the West... When the legend becomes fact, print the legend.’ (Newspaper publisher Dutton Peabody in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, 1962) Abstract: This chapter analyzes two recent popular Westerns, Andrew Dominik’s The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007) and Tommy Lee Jones’s The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (2005). In these films, the Western myth is replaced by a new myth, the ‘American Dream’, in which the lone legend is re-cast as family man and breadwinner. The old American frontier, as well, assumes a new dimension, moving from a utopian ‘frontier’ understood as the symbol of discovery, exploration, and Manifest Destiny, to a dystopian and defensive vision of a national border that must be protected against ‘illegals’. The chapter argues that Westerns, in offering themselves as alternative worlds to 2 American modernity, show that myths are difficult to let go of, particularly if the myth that replaces them is as inexpressibly dreary as the American Dream. Classic Westerns are America’s most enduring mythical genre. Like all good myths, they show us an alternative world, ‘a heroically decent America,’1 a world whose cowboys and gunslingers, sheriffs and bandits, prospectors and ranchers inhabit ‘a masculine world where men were men and women—on the rare occasions they appeared—seemed to like it that way.’2 Common consensus has declared this world to be either one of the past--a time of lawlessness, chaos, racism and the genocide of native Americans3—or mythical fiction—the time of Manifest Destiny, rugged individualism, romantic rides into stunning sunsets, and apolitical fireside chats.4 Neither its association with the past nor its reputation for peddling sentimental myths have particularly endeared the Western to scholars and critics.
