The American Cowboy Chronicles Old West Myths & Legends: The Honest Truth

This book is about the real Old West. The research presented here comes from what Ive found during my more than forty-five years of researching American history but especially what Ive learned in regards to the other side of the myths and legends of the Old West. In 2010 I started a blog The American Cowboy Chronicles to share what Ive learned and celebrate the virtues of America. My articles on the Old West have never been meant to dispel the myths or attack legends but to simply explain what Ive found after taking a hard look an honest look an objective look at the evidence thats available. Since evidence proves or disproves what weve all been told about the Old West by Hollywood and writers who are not objective researchers this is my attempt at taking a fresh look at Wyatt Earp Tom Horn and others. But mostly this book is about why the American Cowboy became Americas quintessential role model. This book looks at why the American Cowboy represents American toughness independence and resilience to the rest of the World.
