Book Review: "One of the Most Complete Literary Achievements in B-Westerns"
Summary: 5 Stars
Empire Publishing presents "B-WESTERN BOOT HILL", author Bobby Copeland's fourth printing and final tribute to the men and women who made each Saturday B-Western possible, remember sitting in our favorite seat at our neighborhood theater --- enjoying and savoring those precious moments, and even today those memories still linger on --- as if it were just yesterday.
Copeland's book does just that, with one of the most complete listings on Birth & Death Dates of B-Western Performers --- Obituaries of Heroes, Sidekicks, Heroines, Heavies and Helpers --- Cowboys & Cowgirls at rest(burial locations of western performers) -- Grave Markers -- Additional Obituaries, each content having their own section with pictures galore --- Now you can put a name with that face you've seen on the big screen a hundred times --- Who wore the white or black hats for the films, whatever the plot called for the B-Western actors saddled up and did their job --- Can remember many of my heroes playing heavies in the early part of their career, then switching to heroes or sidekicks --- one of those was my all-time favorite character actor George "Gabby" Hayes.
Copeland's opening question is one I've asked myself for years "What is a B-Western?" It has been an obsession with me, and still is. Bobby answers the question in six paragraphs on two pages. My sentiments exactly, as Bobby states "Yes, our beloved B-Westerns are gone forever, but wouldn't it be fun if we could turn back the clock and start them all over again?" Well, Mr. Copeland you've done just that --- Because of Les Adams, Boyd Magers, Chuck Anderson and You -- I've started collecting videos (VHS & DVD), Books and CD's on B-Western films. So now that you've got me hooked -- want to share with all the "B-Western-Saturday Matinee-buffs" out there on the range , don't pass this one up...your mind will drift back to those thrilling days of yester-year, when you used to ride those dusty trails...and will again!
Thank you Amazon.Com for keeping this book in stock --- Taking the avid fan of cowboys and cowgirls down the dusty trails of "Saturday Matinee Movie land", when every boy and girl wanted to ride the range with their favorite hero or heroine --- Now, back in my day we had good-guys and bad guys (villains) who were at odds, there was no doubt the good guys were going to win --- The hero would just saddle up his favorite steed (the fastest in the land) and ride the range looking for a good deed to perform or a damsel in distress --- The code of the west was the golden rule to him, and he never went back on his word. I was just a little shaver then, and wanted to be just like Hoppy, Gene, Roy, Buck, Hoot, Johnny Mack, Durango Kid, Wild Bill, Rocky, Lash, Red, Crash, Buster, Rex, Clayton, Tim and Sunset -- and I know each and everyone of you can fill in the last names. As Little Beaver would say "you betch um', Red Ryder".
