Visions of the West
Here's a shocker for you: life in the Wild West wasn't quite like it's depicted in cowboy movies. For example, you don't usually hear about how mega-wealthy businessmen used shady labor practices to line their own pockets. You don't hear the stories of the many immigrant groups who made a home in that unforgiving country. And, you don't hear a lick about the day-to-day lives of the regular folk who bucked tradition to become trailblazing pioneers. Ultimately, Angle of Repose shows us that life in the American West was a lot more complicated than modern stereotypes would have us believe.
Although pioneers like Oliver helped build the West from nothing, their hard work has been swept away by the conformity of the modern era.
Although Susan loves the West, she never stops trying to transform it into the Northeast of her youth.
