This revised and expanded edition contains new chapters on Italian and Japanese Westerns and on the American Westerns of the last decade. This illustrated history of the Western is the product of serious research into the truth of the West and its cinematic presentation. Here are all the stars and the heroes, outlaws, and heroines they portrayed; the themes of the Westerns; the directors; the fist- and gunfights; the Western landscapes; the Indian raids; the covered wagon treks; the rustlers; the sheriffs who pursued them.
