"If you
write a book about a bygone period that lies east of the Mississippi
River, then it's a historical novel. If it's west of the Mississippi,
it's a western, a different category. There's no sense to
it."
--Louis L'Amour

We Love Westerns! A great many readers love westerns. People all around the world like to read books that help them identify with the Indian fighters on the frontier, the homesteader on his farm, the cowboy, or the gunslinger in the Old West. We offer a listing of western authors of novels set in the American West. Included are books about American history, the Old West, and the western frontier, as well as contemporary western fiction novels. We list print books and those in digitized form. Here you will find links to the best of western literature, including stories about cowboys, rodeo stars, ranchers, and horsemen. Authors of classics from Altsheler to Zane Grey are listed. In this directory, we use a broad definition of "western," including contemporary stories, historical fiction and even early American literature -- as long as it has the flavor of the West. Any books about the west qualify an author to be listed in this directory of writers. Zane Grey -- On Writing
"In this materialistic age, this hard, practical, swift,
greedy age of realism, it seems there is no place for writers of
romance, no place for romance itself. For many years all the events
leading up to the great war were realistic, and the war itself was
horribly realistic, and the aftermath is likewise. Romance is only
another name for idealism; and I contend that life without ideals
is not worth living. Never in the history of the world were ideals
needed so terribly as now. Walter Scott wrote romance; so did
Victor Hugo; and likewise Kipling, Hawthorne, Stevenson. It was
Stevenson, particularly, who wielded a bludgeon against the
realists. People live for the dream in their hearts. And I have yet
to know anyone who has not some secret dream, some hope, however
dim, some storied wall to look at in the dusk, some painted window
leading to the soul. How strange indeed to find that the realists
have ideals and dreams! To read them one would think their lives
held nothing significant. But they love, they hope, they dream,
they sacrifice, they struggle on with that dream in their hearts
just the same as others. We all are dreamers, if not in the
heavy-lidded wasting of time, then in the meaning of life that
makes us work on. Zane Grey, from the Foreword of the book, The Western Novel: Part I: The Legendary Western Hero Rosalie More Howdy Pilgrims!
