Product Description
Once in a lifetime there may come to an author the opportunity to produce a book as distinguished as this acclaimed tribute to the Dukea man as large as the American West he so loved. It is the first book ever to have the complete cooperation of the late Michael Wayne and is a classic production that spotlights John Waynes West from reel to real through 400 exciting images, with text by Jane Pattie. These visual remembrances, many from private collections, are high points from five decades of his film and ranching careers. There are 276 pages of colorful reminisces of the man who was John Wayne, the film icon, and Duke Wayne, the loyal and generous friend, including the story of the 26 Bar Ranch in Arizona co-owned by Wayne and his best friend, Louis Johnson, cattleman extraordinaire. The centennial celebration of John Waynes birth will occur on May 26, 2007, 100 years after he was born Marion Michael Morrison in Winterset, Iowa. This imposing western biography salutes him as a timeless American.

Beautiful Book November 28, 2009

This book has alot of realy nice pictures and story. It's very beautifully done. I bought it for my father in law and he loved it. He said he had another John Wayne book but, this one was much nicer. I recieved it quickly. The book jacket was crinkled and the seller said I could exchange it after I gave it to my father in law. But my father in law said he could fix it so there was no need to do so. I would highly recomend this book to any John Wayne or western lover. Great coffee table book or addition to any personal library.
John Wayne/There Rode A Legend November 27, 2009
Thurman G. Mullins (Lebanon, TN USA)
It is now my favorite book on the life of John Wayne. Lots of photos I had not previously seen. Great coverage of his entire life with details of his ranch and cattle. A must have for any John Wayne fan.
Must own for any Duke Fan September 15, 2009
J. Olson (Stanfield AZ)
This book is a must own for any Duke fan. Most books about John Wayne cover the more well known parts of his life such as acting and public notoriety. And this book does that also. But this book goes far beyond that and covers his life in many other aspects such as his raching/farming/feedlot career. It talks about things such as John Wayne memorabilia, John Wayne comics, and has a heart felt introduction by one of his most famous co-stars; Maureen O'hara. I could go on and on about this great book, but to sum it up, you could just quote me as saying that this is the best John Wayne book available today! John Wayne ... There Rode a Legend: A Western Tribute
we rode with him September 4, 2009
Alessandro (Bologna, Italy)
All around the world, for decades, millions of dreamers have rode in magnificent landscapes with a man that everyone would have had as a friend. But when the red light of the camera has been switched off, when the dream vanished, there was a man that we couldn't meet. We can meet him now, thirty years after his death, and we can do it in his world, his country. In the first part of this book, that I've found the most interesting, I could take a look on the life of Marrion Morrison and see him with his family and friends. In the other chapters I could see the Duke in action and it seemed to me that he blinked from a movie poster. I loved every page of this book, can you believe?
