Bobby Copeland's B-Western Trivia Corner
Howdy, Welcome to my B-Western trivia page (courtesy of Joe Konnyu-CowboyPal.com). The purpose of this page is to remember our beloved B-Western performers (heroes, heavies, sidekicks and heroines). Your participated is wanted and encouraged, but please no A-Westerns, no TV-Westerns, no 'spaghetti' Westerns. Although this page will be primarily for trivia, other items will be posted - such as contacts for some film festivals, new publications, other Western sites, etc. I will also post items which I think may be interesting - including "Headlines from the past," and "On this date." Warning - some of the headlines may, or may not, show the B-Western performer in a positive light. I plead with you to remember that they, like us, were not perfect. Please scroll down for a list of my cowboy books for sale. A little about me before saddling up ... I have authored 16 books and some 150 B-Westerns articles for various magazines (including 'Western Clippings' and the British publication 'Wrangler's Roost'). In addition, I have attended some sixty-five festivals and met many of the B-Western performers. I have been honored to receive several awards for my contributions in keeping alive the memories of the old Saturday matinee Westerns. With your help, we can continue to keep those memories alive.
May God bless us all, Bobby Copeland
