"Bridger brings the West to life." - Vine Deloria, Jr.
In this entertaining and thought-provoking book, noted historian and musician Bobby Bridger explores the impact of Native American culture on the American psyche.
Weaving the prophecies of the Lakota holy man Black Elk into a chronicle of American Indians in the American cultural psyche from the era of Buffalo Bill, Sitting Bull, and the Wild West through the creation of the "Western," John Wayne, Dances With Wolves, Avatar, and modern mythmaking, Where the Tall Grass Grows explores the impact of indigenous American mythology on contemporary identity and the development of modern popular entertainment, particularly the Hollywood film industry.
Bridger also surveys and deconstructs the myth of the "imperialist" cowboy while exploring the American heroic archetype from the Revolutionary era into the twenty-first century. In so doing, Bridger provides a highly original look at American history and culture from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day.
A respected expert on Buffalo Bill and his era, author and singer/songwriter Bobby Bridger has written three books, A Ballad of the West, Buffalo Bill and Sitting Bull: Inventing the Wild West, and the autobiography Bridger. He has appeared on Austin City Limits, The American Experience, C-SPAN's Booknotes, CNN, Good Morning America, and NPR. His highly acclaimed epic trilogy, A Ballad of the West, was a finalist for the Western Writers of America's Silver Spur Award for Best Documentary Film.
