I grew up watching TV Westerns...and now you know I'm older than you thought. LOL!
I loved watching my heroes riding to the rescue...
...whether it was saving a town from an evil land-grabbing railroad magnet wanting to snatch up their land to lay down railroad tracks, or a greedy mine-stealing snake-in-the-grass who plans to kill the heroine's father in order to steal the deed to their silver mine.
My heroes were honest as the day is long and would risk being tossed behind bars if they were working undercover for the government.
Some of my favorite Westerns featured some of my favorite Cowboys: Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, John Wayne, Clint Walker, James Arness, and Gary Cooper. What's not to love? In my humble opinion, the Cowboy is the quintessential American hero. Working sun-up til sun-down, ranching, riding the range, tending to his livestock, horses and family. A man's man, who may not be long on words, but in my book...actions speak louder than words.
I've worn out many of my favorite Western videos over the years, but have a few faves on DVD--haven't worn them out...yet ;)
Today is our darling daughter's birthday. To celebrate, I'm giving away Reader's Choice: A signed copy, or an e-book, of the second novella in my Sweet Contemporary Irish Western series:
A Second Chance For Justiss.
Leave a comment...Do you have a favorite Western or Cowboy?
Happy Trails!
