    Anyone who is a fan of both the real wild west and the movies may want to check out a great book called "Cowboy:How Hollywood Invented The Wild West" by Holly George- Warren. The book talks about many real western figures and there stories and how these evolved into the mythical west of the movies and TV. Some nice chapters on John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, The Lone Ranger, Roy Rodgers, Gene Autry.. The best of the real and the reel.. I think fans will enjoy it. Happy trails to all of you.

    thanks for pointing this one out; I haven't read that one.
    There is a topic with a "definite" list of books on JW, you might want to add your description there, so, in time, new members will find a whole list of the Waynian books available.
