BONNIE JO STEFFEN THOMPSON's Comments

Hi Bonnie, welcome to the forum. You're father was very talented.

I've copied the list of his contributions for 'Hosstail's' magazines from the Western Publications Index. TW= True West, FT= Frontier Times & OW= Old West. First number is the magazine issue and the second number is the page number. Hope it's of some help?

Bonnie thanks for the friend request. I have all the magazines listed bar True West #9, but I think most articles were reprinted in some early Old West issues. If there's anything I can help you with give me a holler.

Here's an illustration from True West #3 (Winter 1953)

Bonnie, I found the illustrations from True West #9 (May-June 1955) repeated in Badman #3 (Fall 1972)

and Old West #7 (Spring 1966)

Bonnie are you aware there's a discussion and a blog about your father on this forum?

Bonnie, do you have the October 1956 True West?

to True West Magazine's website!

But if you enjoy it as much as I do, why keep it to yourself?

Bonnie, I'm sorry to say I can't help you with any information on your father other than what I've gleaned from Hosstail's magazines. I really enjoyed reading the article "Folks Meet Randy Steffen" your father was quite a character. You might have better luck getting information on your father by starting a thread on the general forum as it's hidden away here on your profile page and most folks will probably miss it.

Buckshot, You are so awesome!!!

Great idea! I'll write something up and do just that.  Thank you so much for this article and for the link... Look how young!  And that infamous 'handlebar' lovin it!

till next time...Happy Trails!
