I love big film movies like The Quiet Man, McClintock!, and other John Ford Westerns. By big film, I mean they need a big screen. On my way to and from Wyoming each summer, I go through Monument Valley. I always stop to take it all in. As a historian, I know the old Westerns followed racist stereotypes, but I still love the images.
