Western Movies

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Western Movies is a collection of brilliant short stories of the Wild West based on popular TV shows and famous Western films such as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Stage Coach and The Virginian. Contributors include Clarence E Mulford, the creator of Hopalong Cassidy, Elmore Leonard and even the actor Robert Redford.

The Western has been one of the most popular genres on the screen since the birth of the cinema and has brought to life with guns blazing the stories of the tough cowboys and villainous outlaws who roamed the great swathe of America from the Mississippi River to the shores of the Pacific during the last century. Riding the same ranges as these men have been the often persecuted but equally resilient Native American Indians who have similarly featured in popular movies from much of this century. All three groups now archetypes in the minds of audiences all over the world.
