The Badlands Saloon
''The Badlands Saloon'' is a novel by Jonathan Twingley, a nationally-recognized artist and illustrator in the U.S.
Published by Scribner in 2009, the 224-page hardcover tells the story of Oliver Clay, and his life-changing summer in a small North Dakota town.
==Setting==
The town is Marysville − once a booming oil town, now a tourist spot − a "Wild West fishbowl" with a state-of-the-art amphitheater, an Old West Shooting Gallery, bumper cars, and a glad-handing mayor with his own daily radio show. Like much of America, "the town had become a strange version of itself...a generic vision of what towns once looked like when there were Cowboys and Indians and wagon wheels and campfires. But there was an authenticity to it all, too." 〔Twingley, Jonathan; ''The Badlands Saloon'', p. 15; pub. Scribner, 2009〕
The town resembles Medora, North Dakota. At the south entrance to the Theodore Roosevelt National Park, Medora provides a touristy western experience with wooden planked sidewalks, old fashion ice cream parlors, and buggy rides. Just like the Marysville in Twingley's novel, Medora offers several museums, the Cowboy Hall of Fame, the Badlands Shooting Gallery, Medora Mini Golf, and the Burning Hills Amphitheater with nightly productions of the ''Medora Musical.''〔(Medora - North Dakota's #1 Vacation - Medora Musical )〕 Both Medora and Marysville were named after a French aristocrat. Also resembling Marysville, the entire economy of the real-life Medora (with its 112 residents and 0.37 square miles) is subsidized by a foundation - the Theodore Roosevelt Medora Foundation.〔(Medora - North Dakota's #1 Vacation - About T. R. Medora Foundation )〕
