The magnificent Old West conjures up images of cowboys and Indians, lawmen and outlaws, as well as courageous frontiersmen, forging ever westward in search of freedom, independence and greener pastures. No other period has influenced American culture and defined its history as greatly as the Western frontier. Its legendary figures - Wyatt Earp, Calamity Jane, Wild Bill Hickock - are now commemorated in film and fiction.
