About Pulp Archive: Six-Guns & Spurs

"I can see by your outfit, that you are a cowboy." These words he did say as I slowly passed by. "Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story, For I'm shot in the chest, and today I must die." --The Dying Cowboy The Western genre is set in the American frontier (commonly referred to as the "Old West" or the "Wild West") between the California Gold Rush of 1849 and the closing of the frontier in 1890. The genre is commonly associated with folk tales of the Western United States, particularly the Southwestern United States, as well as Northern Mexico and Western Canada. Six-Guns & Spurs feature Ranch, Outlaw, Marshal and other stories from early 1900s western magazines like Western Story Magazine, Cowboy stories, Wild West Weekly and other classic pulp magazines.
