| Whenever we study the West, it is important to recognize the valid
facts of the West and the more popular myths of the West. One of
the genre that perpetuated the Western myth most was the Dime
Novel. The Dime Novels reinforced the myths that there were
gunfights everyday at noon in the middle of town, the bad guy was always
in black, and the good guy always had a white hat. For more
