Cambridge University Press Citizen Cowboy: Will Rogers and the American People

GTIN: 9781108495936
Examines Will Rogers, one of 20th-century America's most beloved cultural figures, and how his life and work reflected broader changes that created modern America. Citizen Cowboy is a probing biography of one of America's most influential cultural figures. Will Rogers was a youth from the Cherokee Indian Territory of Oklahoma who rose to conquer nearly every form of media and entertainment in the early twentieth century's rapidly expanding consumer society. Through vaudeville, the Ziegfeld Follies and Broadway, syndicated newspaper and magazine writing, the lecture circuit, radio, and Hollywood movies, Rogers built his reputation as a folksy humorist whose wit made him a national symbol of common sense, common decency, and common people. Though a friend of presidents, movie stars and industrial leaders, it was his bond with ordinary people that endeared him to mass audiences. Making his fellow Americans laugh and think while honoring the past and embracing the future, Rogers helped ease them into the modern world and they loved him for it. Citizen Cowboy examines Will Rogers, one of twentieth-century America's most beloved cultural figures, and how his life and work reflected broader changes that created modern America. This book is for general readers interested in the history of American culture. Autorid: Steven Watts
