Synopsis Fast Guns out of Texas by : Ralph Cotton
The first thing of interest Cray Dawson saw upon riding into Crabtown, Montana, on his way to stake his claim in Black’s Cut, was a sign outside the barber shop, with a long line of miners, townsfolk, business people and saddle tramps strung along the boardwalk waiting their turn to view Lawrence Shaw in his coffin. FAST LARRY SHAWL DEAD IN HIS COFFIN, 50 CENTS While He Lasts... (below it in pencil) *Preview of Ralph Cotton's Hangman's Choice and Killing Texas Bob at the back of this book.

Synopsis Westerns in a Changing America, 1955-2000 by : R. Philip Loy
For many, the Westerns of 1930 to 1955 were a defining part of American culture. Those Westerns were one of the vehicles by which viewers learned the values and norms of a wide range of social relationships and behavior. By 1955, however, Westerns began to include more controversial themes: cowardly citizens, emotionally deranged characters, graphic violence, marital infidelity, racial prejudice, and rape, among other issues. This work examines the manner in which Westerns reflected the substantial social, economic and political changes that shaped American culture in the latter half of the twentieth century. Part One of this work considers shifting themes as the genre reacted to changes unfolding in the broader social landscape of American culture. Part Two examines the manner in which images of cowboys, outlaws, lawmen, American Indians and women changed in Westerns as the viewers were offered new understanding of the frontier experience.

Synopsis Outlaw's Gun by : J.R. Roberts
Clint is tracked down by an outlaw who, in his fifties, finds that his gun is slowing down. He wants Clint to use his gunsmithing abilities to make him a new gun, one that will increase his speed and, hopefully, shave a few years off his gun hand. Months later, Clint learns he's been made a fool of. The outlaw is using his newfound speed and accuracy with a gun to settle some old scores—and some new ones. It falls to Clint to stop him, and to see if the outlaw's abilities with a gun match his own.

Synopsis Reading Homer by : Kostas Myrsiades
These nine new essays on Homer's epics deal not only with major Homeric themes of time (honor), kleos (fame), geras (rewards), the psychology of Homeric warriors, and the re-evaluation of type scenes, but also with Homer's influence on contemporary film. Following the introduction and an essay which sets the historical background for the epics, four essays are devoted to fresh analysis of key passages and themes while another four turn to a discussion of the film Troy and Homer's influence on two other genres of American cinema.

Synopsis Cowboy Courage by : William Hampes
Film and television Westerns are most often associated with physical bravery. However, many--especially those produced during the "Golden Age" of Westerns from the late 1940s through the early 1960s--also demonstrate moral bravery (the willingness to do the right thing even when met with others' disapproval) and psychological bravery (the ability to overcome one's fear and inner conflict to bring out the best in oneself and others). Through a close examination of Westerns displaying all three types of bravery, the author shows us how courage can lead to, and even enrich, other virtues like redemption, authenticity, love, friendship, allegiance to one's community, justice, temperance, and growing up and growing old successfully.
