Much has been written about the west—most of it clouded by
exaggeration and fabrication. Since 1953, True West magazine has
been devoted to celebrating the West’s true colors, giving the men
and women who settled there accurate voices, exploring every
triumph and tragedy of their time—and exposing every vice and
virtue.
True Tales and Amazing Legends of the Old West commemorates these
unforgettable cowboys, Indians, and city slickers through a mix of
classic histories and brand-new narratives, all illustrated with
photographs—many reproduced here for the first time—of the people
and places that gave rise to America’s Western mythology.
With twenty-six stories that blend fact with folklore, this
collection abounds with accounts of the famous and the infamous,
including Sacagawea, Wild Bill Hickok, Pancho Villa, Butch Cassidy
and the Sundance Kid, Davy Crockett, and Wyatt Earp. Also here are
lesser-known figures whose stories were pivotal to shaping the
culture of the era, such as European conquistador Francisco
Coronado, rancher “Black Billy” Hill, and fearless lawman Orlando
“Rube” Robbins. Other tales recount the wide open plains,
lawlessness, drama, mayhem, and promise embodied in the Old
West.
Whether you’re a history buff, an Old West devotee, or simply
someone who is fascinated by the characters of America’s early
years, these timeless tales and photographs epitomize the legendary
spirit of what it meant to settle the West.
