Photographer David Campion roamed the world’s biggest Wild West show and brought back a collection of images that speak to our fascination with the cowboy. With wry humour, these photographs pull back the curtain and probe the contradictions that lie at the heart of a myth that transforms history into a story about the triumph of man over nature, nostalgically regretted even as it is celebrated. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the Stampede marks its 100th anniversary, the time is ripe for a book that goes beyond the hype. In the accompanying essay, writer Sandra Shields uses the prism of the Stampede to offer a meditation on the meaning of the West and its enduring hold on our collective imagination. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rocky Mountain Books Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47051244273904,"sku":"9781926855981","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781926855981_p0.jpg?v=1763635544","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781926855981","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
