If you enjoy stories of the West, you've come to the right place.
Saddlebag Dispatches
regales you with tales placed west of the Mississippi containing the spirit of the Old West in them, but you'll find some of the New West here, too. Inside, larger-than-life men and women drive pickups on highways in addition to riding horses down dusty trails. You will also discover some of the best nonfiction as well as poetry, interviews and... well, pretty much anything to do with the West.
Twice a year, we feature interviews with the movers-and-shakers in Western writing, columns by writers steeped in the form, and poetry and fiction from some of the best authors in the business. For our Autumn/Winter 2019 issue, we're back and better than ever with an exclusive interview with
New York Times
bestselling author Parris Afton Bonds, feature stories on the PBR Ty Murray Top Hand Award, controversial Indian "outlaw" Ned Christie, legendary Canadian rancher George Ross, and the secret religious brotherhood known as
Los Hermanos y la Ultima Veronica
. You'll also find fresh new Western fiction from 4-time Spur Award-winner Rod Miller, Anthony Wood, Jordie Skinner, Michael McLean, Marlon S. Hayes, J.B. Hogan, D.N. Sample, Terry Alexander, John T. Biggs, and Sharon Frame Gay, as well as cowboy poetry from Kallista Markotich and Mike Dailey.
