Through popular lore, fantastic true stories, and some of the finest movies ever made, the western has an enduring grip on America's-and the world's-imagination. Paper engineering genius Anton Radevsky has caught the spirit of this legendary era in an amazingly constructed and informative pop-up book. Vivid artwork, including maps and stunning three-dimensional illustrations, brilliantly capture all the hardships, romance, danger, and adventure associated with the period. Page by eye-popping page, it covers the rapid development of communication and transport, the conflicts with Native Americans, the great Gold Rush, and the long cattle drives. And, in addition to pop-ups that literally jump out at you (an entire old west town, teepee, holster and pistol with a working trigger, cattle on the trail, and cowboys on horseback), The Wild West Pop-Up Book offers an exciting bonus: freestanding action forms including a stagecoach and horses, covered wagon drawn by oxen, steam engine with passenger and coal cars, and cowboy in full regalia!
