Cowboy's Trail Guide to Westerns
REVIEWS

[Matuszak] has in hand a remarkable book on a crucial subject...the American Western.

I am quite impressed. Not only is the project majestic in size [514 pages], but I've spent over fifty years in the picture business and still found it interesting reading...Congratulations!!.

I totally enjoyed reading The Cowboy’s Trail Guide to Westerns. It’s on the coffee table in our living room and we show it to all of our friends...

[Matuszak does] an admirable job of bridging the gap between the myth of the West and the historical reality of the West.
