The book delves into the allure of the American West for affluent Britons from the 1830s onward, who sought adventure and fulfillment in the wilderness. It examines their motivations, highlighting their reliance on dogs, sporting guns, and valets, while also addressing the class attitudes and prejudices they carried with them. Prairie Fever reveals the romanticized vision of the West that captivated these individuals at a time when their privileged lifestyles found no parallel in America.
