Wild West

The Wild West, also known as the Old West or the American Frontier, is a mythical period of United States history spanning across the 19th century, and describes the several decade-long process of the Thirteen Colonies gradually expanding westward.

Though the Wild West was a real piece of history, Hollywood and the Italian film industry romanticizing it with the Western genre has taken the period's modern perception to mythical proportions.
