| Description: |
Ranch schools in Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Wyoming in the 1920s and 1930s portrayed the West as embodying the moral attributes believed to be lacking in urban America. Bingmann uses ranch schools as a lens through which to examine citizenship, class, gender, and region during this era. |
| Synopsis: |
Ranch schools in Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Wyoming in the 1920s and 1930s portrayed that the West embodied the moral attributes believed to be lacking in urban America. Advocates of character education saw the courage and self-reliance of the Old West as the qualities necessary to preserve the nation through the next generation. Bingmann uses ranch schools, designed to counteract the problems of inherited wealth, as a lens through which to examine citizenship, class, gender, and region during this era while illustrating that these schools, in transmitting such values to American youth, created a network of elite private schools that gave pampered boys from the urban centers of the Atlantic Seaboard and Great Lakes region the opportunity to grow into gentlemen cowboys ready to take the reins of power in family businesses and government. |
