My son in a Durango, Colorado silver mine during a research trip consisting of field visits to various edutorism sites of Western remembrance and interviews with Terry Gentry, a docent at the Black American West Museum in Denver, Colorado and Patricia Limerick, when she was Faculty Director and Chair of the Board of the Center of the American West at the University of Colorado, where she is also a Professor of History. This trip informed my investigation of the (re)production, maintenance, and repair of the Myth of the West in popular culture products and practices within my dissertation and my in-progress monograph.
