The Power of Pictures

The very best historical photographs from our treasured vaults define our idea of the West. 

In honor of our 70th year, the editors of True West have invited our contributors to offer their choices for the most emblematic photographs taken in the West. The portfolio reflects the authors’ interests in Western history and offers a window into their individual perspectives. The photo essay also is an introduction to a year-long commemoration of True West’s 70th anniversary and the very best photography of the West from the 1840s to the 1940s. We look forward to your perspective as we look back together at the images and image makers that spark our imaginations, trigger our emotions, elicit our empathy and drive our desires to learn more about our Western past.
