Augustus, we have these same discussions almost every day. The bad news is that there aren't enough purists to float the boat. It's as simple as that. Joe Small did other topics, movies, travel, etc. but even he could not break out the magazine to...
Abby, I am eating very correctly. For example, at Guadalajara last Sunday I had the chicken soup with vegetables while my kids and wife ate mole and beans and all the stuff I love but can't really eat anymore.
Good for you! I am quite sure a handwritten letter from you is something he will treasure. And i too mostly use block lettering when i write. let’s face it, an email, or even a typewritten letter, is no match for a handwritten, signed one. Even a ...
Yesterday, I wrote a letter (actually I used block lettering so your argument, Gus, still stands). It was in answer to a long hand letter I got from a cowboy in Clifton, Arizona. He sent me a photo of his dad and his cowboy pards. In fact, I'll po...
Another lost art is letter writing. Text messaging and email have just about
done in that form of communication. Seems no one anymore even cares about
spelling. Pen pals have given way to text-pals and e-pals. When is the last time
you sat down an...
Welcome to my world...or I guess I should say "our" world Bob.
You wouldn't believe how many people in the Graphics industry can't

Wild Bill Vs. The End of Letter Writing Vets
November 11, 2009
Finally caught parts of the new True West Moments running on the Westerns Channel. "Rocks on Graves" is a tad thin (it's very short, maybe 15-20 seconds), but I caught the end of "The Water Trough" last night and it looked pretty cool. Can't wait to see the whole thing.
Speaking of the Westerns Channel, I also caught "Miracle At Sage Creek" starring David Carradine and Wes Sudi. This project was created and spearheaded by our friend Thadd Turner, who cuts a mean figure… Continue

Drawing Passe?
November 10, 2009
There was an article in the newspaper the other day about a local cowboy who was put on a strict diet and told to walk 10,000 steps a day. It was for some health TV show and they put a pedometer on his leg and the TV doc would email him and say, "You are only at 8,000, go back outside and get to walking." The cowboy did and he's quite healthy today, etc.
So, this got me to wondering how many steps I'm doing on my daily walk with Peaches (I guessed it was close to 10,000… Continue

Ted Yeatman Obit And Photo
November 10, 2009
The obit for Ted Yeatman is online now and we all can finally see what he looks like. Ted appeared on a C-SPAN book piece around the time of his book on Jesse being published, and the reporter, Fred Rasmussen, or, someone at the Baltimore Sun snagged it.

True West for the troops
November 9, 2009
We contribute 25 copies of True West magazine to Give2thetroops.org where we hear they are devoured and fought over. Got this letter from the org today:
"We cannot express to you how much the troops appreciate receiving packages and letters from our organization. We encourage you to read the letters from the troops posted on our web site. We continuously add new letters and photos from the troops. Your donation allows us to continue our mission and help the troops' moral… Continue

100 Covers: From Oblivion to Ahora
November 6, 2009
The kids came over last night with Bill Glenn and Grandma Betty for Tacos de Bell (or, as Deena calls them, "Tacos de Bobby"). Lots of laughs all around. By the way, when Deena and Tommy and I were on our recent Mexican Food road trip to southern Arizona and northern Sonora, I got to listen to a whole bunch of their music. Here's the ride we got thanks to Deena and her road warrior benefits:

Eric Weider said… - Lots of great covers Bob...some truly ground breaking work. Love the April 2002 cover. Here's to another 100 great issues of Ture West. (Hopefully not as great as Wild West though! Nah...there's room enough for all in the West!!)

Jeff Prechtel said… - and by "young' they meant "old fat guy" right? LOL!
sounds like it might be more Corey's (my youngest son)
speed. He's the one I sent you the photo of last Fall
when I dressed him up in the Jesse James get-up.
Thanks Bob

Thanks...Chuck

gus Walker aka the mapinator said… - that’s a goodin’ BBB.
when you think about it, how folks dress is a big fashion statement. wannabbees dress in all kinds of attire, wearing hunting or military fatigues, baggy shorts and pants showing mucho crack, cocked ballcaps, big long coats with furry collars and big hats and chains, renaissance characters, suits and ties, overalls. seems like we all dress like something we admire or would like to be like. then there are those who just go along with some fashion forced on them by designers. maybe it would be fun to list styles no one pays attention to. you seldom see someone dressed in lab or doctor coats or Wal-Mart vests unless they are really in that business.

Olemphia D said… - Hi Bob. I'm in need of some catalogs that carry Duster coats. Could you tell me how to go about finding these catalogs? Most i've come across only sell shoes but I'm interested in the long dusters the cowboys wore back in the days.
Thanks.

dave turner said… - Your Oct. issue has an information free info card in it. It has a small oval pic of my 2nd great uncle, A.J. Sowell as a Texas Ranger, where did your staff come up with it. It is one i don't have, but have seen it in other publications a couple of times. I do have a copy of him and Big Foot Wallace setting on the porch of my 3rd great granddads house at Wau Ban See springs, Texas. Thanks! for keepin history alive..

- Hi Bob,
Thanks....Good to hear from you. Hope you and your family are doing well. I definitely should have found this site before now, but I don't spend a lot of time on the computer except to play poker.
Maybe this site will take me away from that for awhile...lol.
I am still collecting, so probably do have some photos you could use. Bought a great Quantrill letter awhile back. Only one I have seen in all the years of collecting. Your welcome to come by and see what i have anytime, so when your out this way again, give me a call. From what I've recently read, I don't see how you find the time to do much of anything. You have always been one busy guy. Take care...Craig

- Bob, for the record, you did 15 new True West Moments for Encore Westerns during our day and a half shoot at the Pioneer Living History Museum and Cowtown. You were a real trooper! What we did is not easy, even in the best of conditions, but in that Arizona oven, it is remarkable. I just wanted your fans to know.
