Tourism demands Devil's Bargains

Blogger Stephen Bridenstine mentioned this book to me. I haven't read it, but the Publishers Weekly review is interesting.

Devil's Bargains: Tourism in the Twentieth-Century American WestComment:  We don't know if the book discusses tourism's impact on Western reservations, but the last sentence applies to Indians as well as non-Indians. If any Americans are "trapped inside the myth" of their history, it's Indians.
