The Far West is a region where an original society developed, where individuals from very different backgrounds and horizons crossed paths. The mythical America of the Rocky Mountains, where where the Amerindian tribes and the pioneers who came to found the United States clash, is forever symbolized, in the memory of the peoples, by red deserts as far as the eye can see and mountains sculpted by erosion.
