American mythology has always had a westward gaze. So often we look to the symbols of the Western frontier in order to communicate our values and yearnings. Americana-Western style expresses a unique mix of ruggedness and romance. In fact, the two are deeply intertwined. Big skies, wide ranges, wild ponies, the open road… they resonate in the human spirit because of what they represent—freedom, adventure, a sense of openness and possibility.
