 Wrong! November 5, 2009
H. C. Jennett Jr. (Midwest)
The review that states Lamour wrote the pulp series is incorrect. He wrote the last 4 books, under a pen name, after the Bill Boyd TV series became popular. The original series character was nothing like the movie character.
 Disappointment Runs Amuck ! July 10, 2007

Sorry, but this book was such a disappointment, the coverage of the different western pulps was too basic and there were several mistakes, the most blatant being the info about the Hopalong Cassidy pulps. Stating that they were written by Mulford using a pen name shows the author wrote without doing much research as everyone knows they were written by Lamour. He also states the pulp stories portrayed Hoppy as Mulford had created him and this is not right. In the stories he was the same type character as Boyd played him in the movies. Anyway, I do NOT recommend this book and my copy has gone into the garbage.
