Real West was a Western magazine which published nonfiction stories of the Old West.
The Connecticut-based magazine published 266 issues between 1957 and 1988.[1] The magazine was considered one of the least trustworthy of its genre among fans, publishing stories of questionable accuracy accompanied by misattributed photos.[1] Despite its reputation, the sensational stories were popular enough that the magazine operated for 31 years, finally shutting down in 1989 due to falling circulation and rising publishing costs.[1]
