Cowboys and the Wild West: An A-Z Guide From The Chisholm Trail To The Silver Screen by Don Cusic

Cowboys and the Wild West comprise a folklore that is uniquely American -- as much a part of American history and culture as the signing of the Declaration of Independence or baseball. Annie Oakley, Doc Holliday and Bat Masterson hearken back to the days of saloons, frontier justice and quick draws. singing cowboys, TV cowboys, Old West musicals, and film westerns are the modern incarnations. But whether at the real O.K. Corral or on the screen at the local movie theater, the tales, characters and spirit remain the same: colorful, vibrant and folksy.

The Old West is not a certain place in a certain time, it's a state of mind. It's whatever

you want it to be.
