The Western has been the favorite type for American adventure story since the nineteenth centu??ry. While the American West was being settled, newspapers and "dime novels" could depend on stories of the frontier settlements and tell tales about living in the untamed wilderness to sell. The public back East was eager to read about the West, even if the stories were more fiction than fact.

In 1902, Owen Wister published his novel The Virginian, which was one of the first novels to treat the Western as a serious literary form; the novel still sold well and had inspired several movies and a television series. In 1905, Bertha H. Bower and Zane Grey published their first novels, and the popular Western novels had continued to flourish from that day on, with current novels by Luke Short, Max Brand, and Louis L’ Amour carrying on the tradition.

The first Western movie appeared even earlier than these serious Western novels. Before the turn of the century, an associate of Edison’s had filmed Cripple Creek Barroom Scene, a few seconds of film showing the inside of a saloon, to help publicize the invention of the movie camera. In 1903 the Edison’ company filmed the first "full-length" Western — The Great Train Robbery. The film lasts less than fifteen minutes, but a story is told its entirety. In the movie, bandits (强盗) rob a train and its passengers, killing the engineer, and find themselves tracked down by a posse. Audiences loved the movie. Some theaters were actually opened for the single purpose of showing The Great Train Rob??bery and only later realized that they could do equally well showing other movies. The film was so suc??cessful that other companies, and finally even the Edison company itself, began producing copies and other versions of The Great Train Robbery. Ironically, in" an era when the West was still very real —-Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma were all territories rather than states in 1903 — The Great Train Robbery was filmed in New Jersey.

D. trace the development of the Western as an American adventure story tradition

      Patricia asked for the cheapest car available at Acme Car Rental. She needed a car for 48
hours. Because it was the weekend,there was only one car available at the moment-an SUV.
Patricia was an environmentalist. SUVs,which are big cars consuming a lot of gasoline,offended
her greatly.
       But she needed something to get to Baker,a town that was 100 miles from the small airport.
So she went, RentMe instead. "I need a car for 48 hours," she said," and I don't want an SUV.
I want something cheap. "They told her they had just the vehicle for her,a 1998Toyota. Thirty
dollars a day,including insurance and other incidental fees. All she had to do was to pay forher
own gasoline. Patricia was very pleased. Thirty dollars a day was a good rate even for a weekday.
She signed all the paperwork,and they gave her the keys.
        The Toyota was a 4-speed,4-cylinder,2-door beauty,the paint,tires,and the interior were like
the new. It was comfortable, even though the air-conditioner was not the frostiest(结霜的) . She
got in and drove north. It was a two-lane road all the way to Baker,with only one town between
the airport and Baker. That town was Noms,40 miles from Baker.
        Patricia didn't make it to Norris. The car refused to run 30 minutes after she had been driving
it. Fortunately,her cell phone was able to connect back to the RentMe desk. "My car stopped
running. and I'm out here in the middle of nowhere in the hot sun! " she said.
       "That doesn't make any sense," said the clerk."You did put gas in the car before you left town,
didn't you? "
        "No. Of course not ! "  yelled Patricia. " Why would Iput gas in the car before I even got out
of town?" "Well,why do you think you got such a good
rate-we save money by having the customer gas up instead of us having to put gas in the car. "
      "I was in a hurry,"said Patricia.
       "Well,sometimes you pay a price for being in a hurry," said the clerk. " We'II send a man out
with some spare gas for you:if you'd like. ,,"
       Of course l'd like , " said Patria.ia. " How long willit be?"
       The clerk told her it would be within the hour. He didn't tell her that there would be a  $ 50
service charge for delivering the gas,or that the 3 gallons of fuel would cost her $ 7 a gallon. She
would get that bad news when she retumed the car to the airport.
