Reviews
"an eye-opener for fans of the typical all-American, John Wayne western"--ARBA
"all-encompassing coverage...a stunning amount of research...Green has done the Western genre a great service"--True West
"thorough...it is very easy to get lost in the Encyclopedia of Weird Westerns, so make sure to set aside a good deal of time when you pick it up to ’just look something up.’ There are plenty of discoveries awaiting, and some old favorites to revisit"--Green Man Review
