True West

These magazines were part of our research material. In response to damage done to material in one of our retail fronts and archival building by City of Kirksville workman under the direction of the City Manager in May of 2002 (and for which we to this day have not been recompensed for) it was decided, considering the risks and conduct of the city government, to limit the amount of material being stored and the business conducted in that city and to sell items stored there which no longer fit the revised Collection Guidelines (go to our ). We are not in the market to purchase more of these magazines though we appreciate the number of offers from people .

True West

True Stories of the Old West

December 1980

Launched in 1953 by the legendary Joe “Hosstail” Small in Austin, Texas, Old West is a popular history publication with a very loyal, core readership. Thanks to the proliferation of TV Westerns in the late 1950s and early 1960s, the magazine enjoyed broad circulation (200,000+ newsstand sales). But, as the market and his health started to decline, Joe Small sold out in 1974 and over the next decade, the magazine bounced around the Midwest, finally settling in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Unfortunately, the Oklahoma owners did not have the capital to stay current with the changing times and the magazine began to lose significant market share, as newer, slicker titles like Cowboys & Indians and American Cowboy came into the marketplace. By mid-1999, the publication, along with three other titles, was for sale, and the current owners came to the rescue. Bob Boze Bell, Bob McCubbin and Dave Daiss, formed a limited partnership and bought the assets and the trademarked names (True West, Old West, Frontier Times) in October of 1999 and moved the offices and inventory, to Cave Creek, Arizona.

These Magazines have lots of important photographs and artwork

Cowboys & Indians; Pioneers; Ranchers and the Prospectors who searched for gold, all these appeal to a wide audience of Western enthusiasts, from the people who live there to those who love or long for the Western lifestyle. The American West is a place of mythology and grandeur, a rich mixture of culture, history and spirit that is unmatched in our country's evolution. The style, the drama and the ideals of the West — both past and present — are captured in the pages of each issue of these colourful magazines.
