Gail Davis

A pioneer of early television and the first woman to star in her
own western series, Gail Davis had a lot of guts playing crackshot
Annie Oakley–a part that was not fashionable in the 1950s
(America perceived and preferred cowboys as heroes, not cowgirls).
However, Davis was awfully cute in pigtails and spangled western
gear; and she could outride and outshoot any man who dared to
challenge her prowess.

Davis had a spunky, outgoing personality and was a big sister
type to youngsters………………………………………………………………

Wildest Westerns Magazine Awards!

Western film and television shows helped shape the moral values of many people in this country. Children grew up watching Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, The Lone Ranger, and many other heroes of the silver screen following the "Code of the West." The battle of wrong vs. right was the theme of virtually every Western movie and television show, and the right always prevailed.

Wildest Westerns is a Western magazine that is dedicated to revisiting those "thrilling tales of yesteryear" in the articles, interviews, reviews, and photos on our magazine pages. Some of America's most respected and remembered heroes and villains came from these Western genres. It is our hope that this Western magazine will awaken the memories in your heart, and also help bring to light the values of the Western to those who didn't have the benefit of knowing these wonderful heroes and villains. We will always remember them, and would like to say "Thank You" to all the actors, actresses, directors, producers, studios, and all the unsung heroes behind the scenes that brought us the Western.
