Abstract
Early twentieth-century dude ranches provided upper-class eastern men and women beset by social change with the living memorialization of an imagined past—a frontier fantasy of patriarchal family life. This strategically anachronistic landscape emboldened dudes to transgress the restraints of gender and class, most noticeably through the dudine-wrangler romance.
