Narrator:
The Great American West before the turn of the century, or more specifically, the Great American West as Hollywood portrayed it in hundreds of films, will forever be indelibly etched in our minds. The Saturday matinee shoot-em-ups represented the innocent fun in a bygone era when everyone went to the movies and most of those who went loved Westerns, especially those early B-Westerns that Hollywood cranked out by the hundreds. Today names like Bronco Billy Anderson, William S. Hart, Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, Randolph Scott and John Wayne conjure up images of good guys and bad guys on horses fighting Indians, outlaws and land barons and just about every other evil that existed in the old West.
