One of the most entertaining genres of American literature is the bold, masculine, wildly exaggerated, and highly imaginative frontier humor of the Old Southwest, produced between 1835 and 1861. Cohen and Dillingham have tapped the wealth of this region to produce a collection that has become the standard anthology of Old Southwestern humor.
