Cowboys and drugstore cowboys, fiestas and rodeos, ranches and haciendas, miners, pioneers, and mountain men—the truth about the West is that it is many wests, a rich amalgam of cultures, traditions, and myths. In their third book together, author Christine Mather and photographer Jack Parsons explore the American West that began with the arrival of the conquistadores and continues today with movie Westerns, Beacon blankets, and cowboy boots, buckles, belts and hats. With more than 400 color and vintage photographs, True West is a fascinating investigation of one of America’s most compelling legends.
