Book Synopsis

Hundreds of leading ladies have appeared in the thousands of Westerns produced since 1903''s The Great Train Robbery, riding in and out, never to be heard of again. A relative few of the women stayed around to make a name for themselves.

This comprehensive biographical reference book of those rangeland queens is divided into four parts: Path Finders, active before 1920; Trail Blazers, whose heyday was in the 1920s; Pioneers, the 1930s and 1940s; and Homesteaders, primarily post-1940. If an actress appeared in at least eight Westerns, or a lesser number of significant oaters, she is in this book. Generously illustrated.
