Publisher's Synopsis

This hilarious and informative study of "alternative Westerns" takes aim at sub-par cowboy fiction. Author Bill Pronzini surveys pulp magazines of the 1920s and 30s as well as paperbacks of the 50s, 60s, and 70s to provide juicy excerpts of laughably awful dialogue. He also offers humorous plot summaries, anecdotes, and historical background on tales from the heyday of the horse opera.
