This fully-illustrated book features B-Western posters, ads, ticket window cards, comics and magazines - many published here for the first time. From Hopalong Cassidy, Roy Rogers, John Wayne and Buck Jones to George Custer and Bat Masterson, the nature of masculinity and national memory is reviewed by an enthusiastic fan of the genre. This volume includes a facsimile reproduction of an article on cowboys by Theodore Roosevelt with art by Frederick Remington and a detailed introduction on nostalgia and the paradoxical nature of the low-budget Westerns of the 1930s, '40s and '50s: heroic men in fancy clothes; morality tales in commercial endeavors; messages of peace and conformity in films about violent loners. Between Fighting Men will appeal to Western fans and scholars of film and cultural studies, gender studies and history. D. Bannon has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Discovery Channel, A&E and The History Channel. Currently his subtitle television scripts air weekly on primetime MBC America.
