The Wild West Uncovered

The American Wild West is one of the greatest myths of universal history, with an imaginary town populated by cowboys, gold prospectors and gunfighters. The archaeologist Kelly J. Dixon, aided by Ronald M. James, a curator at the Nevada Museum, investigates the origins of the city of Virginia, in the state of Nevada, USA. The most advanced archaeological techniques, such as DNA identification, together with excavations on the Boston Saloon site and historical research in archives, give us a new vision far from the clichés on how the West was won.
