| Dawn of the Wild West | comment |
Sub-trope of The Western, Dawn of the Wild West involves stories set in the western part of North America between the late 18th century and the 1840s, which was a time of continental exploration (e.g., Lewis and Clark), fur trapping, trailblazing, and westward expansion. In stories covered by this trope, you'll usually encounter bold explorers, mountain men, missionaries, and Native Americans. The latter's depiction will vary considerably and be often colored by the attitudes from the time the work was produced. There are also stories about pioneers under this trope but their efforts to settle and civilize the "savage" land often involve wilderness that's east of the Mississippi. Stories about pioneers moving into the Far West (i.e., the North American Great Plains and territory west of the Rockies) signify the end of the time period covered under Dawn of the Wild West trope (i.e., the early 1840s). In addition, this trope covers works about the Battle of the Alamo and the Texas War for Independence. As indicated in the title, this trope covers the beginning of the period covered in the Wild West and represents the Dawn of an Era. It's the opposite of Twilight of the Old West which covers the End of an Age for the Wild West. |

One of the earliest German Western novelists, Friedrich Gerstäcker, became successful with Die Regulatoren in Arkansas (1846, "The Regulators in Arkansas") and Die Flußpiraten des Mississippi (1847, "The River-Pirates of the Mississippi"). In the 20th century there was Fritz Steuben (real name: Erhard Wittek), who wrote a cycle of eight novels about the Shawnee chief Tecumseh and a few other books, including Mississippi-Saga about the 17th-century French explorer Sieur de la Salle. | |

The Discworld introduces the concept of a vast, largely unexplored, region of the Central Continent, which is described in The Compleat Discworld Atlas in a way very suggestive of Eagle Land in its formative years in the late 18th and 19th centuries, and which ticks practically all the boxes for this trope. | |

James Fenimore Cooper's The Leatherstocking Tales take place in the "wild west" of colonial America (i.e., western New York). As does his pessimistic trilogy The Littlepage Manuscripts (Satanstoe, The Chainbearer, and The Redskins). Cooper goes even further east with The Wept of Wish-ton-Wish, a frontier story set in 17th century Connecticut. | |

Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy is based on the exploits of the Glanton gang, a band of violent marauders who terrorized the U.S./Mexico border region in the late 1840s and early 1850s. The book is exceptionally bleak, showcasing the brutal violence, racism, and sexual abuse which characterized life on the frontier for many in this period, and it's often been read as a sort of Deconstruction of more idealized depictions of the birth of the Wild West. | |

The duology consisting of The Mask of Zorro and The Legend of Zorro spans three decades of this era, beginning during the closing days of the Mexican War of Independence and ending with California statehood in the U.S.A. The world it's set in gradually loses its Old World trappings and begins to look more and more like the Wild West. | |
