Excerpt from The Vision of the Trans-Mississippi: And Other Verses Because your schoolboy brother, more than twice as loves this little boy a great, big pile, you act his manners with a swagger bold, And think you can't be baby yet a little while?

Book Description
This dissertation examines the role played by museums in shaping our understanding of the American West. The history of the American West holds a place in American popular culture, evidenced by music, movies and television shows, novels, art, architecture, clothing, and numerous other examples. However, such examples raise questions of authenticity depending on medium and setting, Representations of the American West depict certain images or beliefs held by society. At the same time, the United States houses nearly 1,500 historic sites and museums focusing on the American West. These museums and sites are found scattered throughout thirty-eight states, in addition to the District of Columbia. As educational institutions, it is reasonable to assume that museums and historic sites offer a more authentic and reliable representation of the West than versions found throughout popular culture, such as films, television programs, and other forms of media. This work seeks to examine the ways in which four museums depict, explore, and preserve the history of the American West. This study critically analyzes four of the largest Western Heritage Museums that focus on depictions of the American West: the Museum of Westward Expansion, the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, the Buffalo Bill Historical Center, and the Autry National Center. Through an analysis of historical documents, oral histories, and museum exhibitions, this work establishes a historical record of each institution, provides a critical examination of the exhibits found within each institution, and explores the ways in which each institution fits into the larger place of the American West.

Book Description
The Trans-Mississippi Exposition of 1898 celebrated Omaha’s key economic role as a center of industry west of the Mississippi River and its arrival as a progressive metropolis after the Panic of 1893. The exposition also promoted the rise of the United States as an imperial power, at the time on the brink of the Spanish-American War, and the nation’s place in bringing “civilization” to Indigenous populations both overseas and at the conclusion of the recent Plains Indian Wars. The Omaha World’s Fair, however, is one of the least studied American expositions. Wendy Jean Katz brings together leading scholars to better understand the event’s place in the larger history of both Victorian-era America and the American West. The interdisciplinary essays in this volume cover an array of topics, from competing commercial visions of the cities of the Great West; to the role of women in the promotion of City Beautiful ideals of public art and urban planning; and the constructions of Indigenous and national identities through exhibition, display, and popular culture. Leading scholars T. J. Boisseau, Bonnie M. Miller, Sarah J. Moore, Nancy Parezo, Akim Reinhardt, and Robert Rydell, among others, discuss this often-misunderstood world’s fair and its place in the Victorian-era ascension of the United States as a world power.
