Home to mythical locations like Monument Valley, Sedona and the Grand Canyon, Arizona features colorful desert landscapes and rugged, uniquely shaped mountains. It’s the only state to boast saguaro cactus and the perfect place to film a Western. Real legends like Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, Tom Horn, and the Apache warrior Geronimo tread this land amidst fabled stories of the OK Corral, Pleasant Valley War, and the Lost Dutchman’s Gold hidden in the daunting Superstition Mountains. Cinematic cowboy icons like John Wayne and Tom Mix walked where these legends walked for the cameras. Magical sites like Old Tucson Studios, the Mescal Movie Set, and Apacheland add to Arizona’s allure.

 

This in-depth, A to Z encyclopedia goes behind-the-scenes to unveil everything about Western filmmaking in Arizona, including the locations and the uncredited locals who ensured authenticity for the cameras as skilled riders and wranglers.

 

Volume One of the three-volume set focuses on theatrical features in the Golden Age of classic Western moviemaking.
