Abstract
Stories of grand adventure and hunting loomed large in the material and the imagined landscape of the nineteenth-century West. Jones explores social, political, economic, and environmental dynamics of hunting using performance as trail guide and production of a 'cultural ecology of the chase' in art and taxidermy.--Provided by publisher.
