Wild Wild West

THE WILD, WILD WEST

Cowboys and Indians weren’t the only “wild things” in the Old West. The land itself was a wild and rugged terrain, unforgiving and relentless as it swallowed up those who dared invade. One had to be, as the Apache and other Indian tribes were, as tough as the land in which they lived. Those who came to live in the Old West learned to adapt, or they perished. Men drove cattle across the great sweeping prairies, across Texas, Kansas, Colorado, across Montana, Wyoming, and all the way up to the Dakotas.

Come in and browse. There’s some historical facts you might want to read about (like the time gold was discovered in California and created a migration unlike any other in American history). And, there’s some fiction buried in here that is free. When you see, here and there, pop-ups, or other places offering a free western fiction e-book, sign up and it’s yours to read. Most of these are stories that were published years ago in a magazine entitled Far West, a California publication long out of print, and some of the stories are original and never published except here. Be sure and take advantage.

SPECIAL OFFERS

There are some special offers, such as an exciting   western fiction book by Voyle Glover. You can read the first 3 chapters of the book.  The book, Bloody Wes Teague, is about a  rancher who falls in love with an Eastern woman whose father, a railroad magnate, owns a ranch in Colorado. Wes Teague, former Texas lawman, now a Wyoming rancher, met this beautiful lady on her father’s ranch on a cattle buying trip. He is so smitten by her, he travels by train to New York City to propose to her. But, he learns marrying a woman like Tabitha Claymore has a price. It is a story that takes a hard look at the fine line between justice and vengeance. Sometimes, that line is hard to see.

This western tale is done in the tradition of  “The Dean” of western fiction, Louis L’Amour: historically accurate settings, with strong characters, and a moral sense of justice in the main character, who is as tough as the land in which he has come to live.

 

BOOKSTORES


We’ve got two bookstores that have just about everything western in them you’d possibly want to buy. One is dedicated solely to Louis L’Amour. The other is a general western fiction bookstore, which also includes western movies on DVD, and some western music. You can find it here: General Western Bookstore. So, browse around and make yourself at home.

Wild Wild West

Wild, wild laughs, adventure and special-effects wizardry abound when megastar Will Smith reteams with the director of "Men in Black." Smith is agent James West, leading sidekick Artemus Gordon (Kevin Kline) and a sexy adventuress (Salma Hayek) on a perilous assignment: stop Dr. Arliss Loveless (Kenneth Branagh) and his contraption-driven plot to establish a Disunited States of America.

Theatrical Trailer

One of the box-office smashes of the summer of 1999, this film by director Barry Sonnenfeld (Men in Black, Get Shorty) was raked by critics but embraced by audiences. Based on the 1960s TV adventure show that starred Robert Conrad, this film reimagined Secret Service agent James West as Will Smith, adding Oscar-winner Kevin Kline as his sidekick, agent-inventor Artemus Gordon. President Ulysses S. Grant puts West and Gordon on the trail of malign genius (and former Confederate soldier) Dr. Arliss Loveless (Kenneth Branagh) in a story about racism, partnership, and world domination. The special effects are lavish, even garish, but not all that special; they're not enough to elevate a mundane and familiar plot. Even Branagh, playing a man who only exists from the waist up--literally--can't find the juice in this lumbering affair. Still, the fast-talking team of Smith and Kline is a nimble one. Smith's affable charm and Kline's subversive wit win many points, though not nearly enough. --Marshall Fine
