Hundreds of leading ladies have appeared in the thousands of Westerns produced since 1903's The Great Train Robbery, riding in and out, never to be heard of again. A relative few of the women stayed around to make a name for themselves.
This comprehensive biographical reference book of those rangeland queens is divided into four parts: "Path Finders," active before 1920; "Trail Blazers," whose heyday was in the 1920s; "Pioneers," of the 1930s and 1940s; and "Homesteaders," primarily post-1940. If an actress appeared in at least eight Westerns, or a lesser number of significant oaters, she is in this book. Generously illustrated."

Sweethearts of the Sage
Full disclosure: I work with Randy.
Randy is a pioneer of comics librarianship. For decades he was the sole banner-carrier confronting the profession with its unjustifiable marginalization of comics. Always of good humor, though, his assessment of the issue here is never mean-spirited. It's funny and fun to read. His hard work and high spirits have paid off, with comics librarianship being an accepted specialization in the field, if still a rare job.
Randy has worked harder, however, on the actual work of being a comics librarian. He's built the largest collection of comic books in the nation, a huge collection of comic strips, and a huge collection of scholarship on comics. MSU Libraries attracts scholars from far and wide because of Randy's life's work.
His book represents the foundation of where he's coming from: basic ideas on why and how to do comics librarianship. As he has been a pioneering librarian, this is a pioneering book for it's day, but Randy acknowledges how out of date it is. He's been approached about a second edition, but says it would take a complete re-write, something he'd consider doing in retirement, but not right now when there's actual comics library work to be done. Nevertheless, anyone interested in comics librarianship, its history, or how to challenge the biased assumptions of the library profession should read this.
