About the Publication:
True West Magazine debuted in 1953. Since then, the magazine has been devoted to celebrating the West’s true colors, giving the men and women who settled there accurate voices, exploring their triumphs and tragedies and exposing both their vices and virtues. True West magazine has received critical acclaim and become a leading authority on the history of the Old and New West. Each issue now reaches more than 193,000 readers in a dozen countries.
Executive Editor Bob Boze Bell also appears on the Starz!/Encore Westerns channel with his True West Moments, which set the record straight on what is and isn’t historically accurate in Western movies and television.
