The White Rider and Super Horse-1942

From 1942, here's nearly every cliche western trope of the time in one story, complete with a singing cowboy! Note that his horse gets bigger billing!

Since this blog is a celebration of the myths of the American Western and its cowboy heroes, it's inevitable that Native Americans, Mexicans and other minorities will be mentioned from time to time in the context of movies, TV shows or books. Note that any negative aspects in their portrayal in the media of various times is historical and does not in any way reflect the opinions of this blog nor should it be taken as a good thing! But it was there at the time and to write about it or show it here, it WILL come up. Note also that Native Americans will often be referred to as "Indians." This is again not in any way a slam but simply rather the way to which they were referred for centuries.

Thank you.

Enjoy the blog!
