The West is dead, my friend, But writers hold the seed And what they sow will live and grow Again for those who read. (Charles M. Russell)
The following list contains other books that cover different aspects of the "Singing Cowboy" phenomenon, the Hollywood and rodeo of that era, Some Romantic poet work, or Bob's life in New Brunswick or Tucson. Some books are more accurate than others; most contain photographs; all will expand your knowledge of that era. Because most of these books are out of print, you will have to search for them through the second-hand book sites or eBay:
