The emerging American +genius for making a lot of money was a poor substitute for King +Arthur and his knights (although the Horatio Alger myth of rags to +riches was good for a lot of mileage). Without a mythology and set +of ancient heroes to call its own, America had to manufacture its +heroes. So the mythmaking machinery of nineteenth|-|century American +media created a suitable heroic archetype in the cowboys of the Wild +West.
