By the end of the Civil War, the West is already legendary. It is looked upon as a "frontier" rather than the great American desert, an empty land awaiting settlement and civilization, a place for fresh beginnings and bold undertakings. The great myth makers of the old West--people like Remington, Wister, and Turner--had a greater impact in creating 20th century nostalgia than 19th century hype. Today's historians stress the cultural and environmental costs of expansionism into West rather than the taming of the West as a great epoch adventure.
