Since they are the stars of this unrepeatable collection of illustrated books that will take you to that fascinating era of stagecoaches, revolvers and large meadows.

• PRESENTATION. A brief introduction to situate the reader.
• MAIN STORY. The best part of the work narrates through panoramic illustrations and brief texts a selected passage of the history of the West.
• CHARACTER. Every story has a important protagonist. Since the story only deals with a specific moment in the life of this character, the book includes a double page dedicated to summarize the biography of the protagonist in a very visual way.
• THE LEGEND IN THE MEDIA. Due the great importance of some of the passages the work includes, we will also dedicate another double page to remember how it was shown in other media, such as literature, cinema or television.
• WESTERN TERRITORY. Every volume ends with a double page in which we will recall some of the essential elements of that time, always related to the main story. Thus, in a work the theme of landscapes will be touched, as well the stagecoaches in another, and so on we will review aspects as essential as the Saloon, the ranches, or the fearsome stampedes.
