註釋

Portraits Of The Old West follows the success of Portraits of Native Americans with a series of striking images from the American West in its heyday, primarily from the end of the nineteenth century. The fascination with the exploits of those intrepid adventurers who, for better or worse, shaped America has made enduring marks upon the culture of America. Here is a photographic look at the famous, the infamous, the completely unknown heroes, heroines, and villains who braved new frontiers and made real the Manifest Destiny that moved the States from sea towards that other shining sea. Some of the figures included are the James brothers, Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, and many more.
-- An authoritative look at the American West.
-- Includes archival photographs from state historical societies and private collections.
-- Among those included are pony soldiers, trailblazers, and cattlemen.
