"This is absolutely the best Western site I've found on the net.... your work is greatly appreciated."
James Richmond
Wetumka, Ok

"Instead of a coffee break in my busy day, I click onto American Western Magazine to relax.  ...The articles are very entertaining. I especially enjoy the stories about Western authors and the behind the scenes peek of their books being made into movies. Nobody can honor Louie L'Amour's memory like Tom Selleck and Sam Elliott.
Thank you for having a web site that is both educational and inspiring."
