Alan's FUN Westerns Trivia Quizzes
 The
Western is a fiction genre seen in film, television, radio,
literature, painting and other visual arts. Westerns are devoted
to telling stories set primarily in the later half of the 19th
century in what became the Western United States (known as the
American Old West or Wild West), but also in Western Canada,
Mexico (The Wild Bunch, Vera Cruz), Alaska (The Far Country,
North to Alaska) and even Australia (Quigley Down Under,
The
Proposition).
Some Westerns are set as early as the Battle
of the Alamo in 1836 but most are set between the end of the
American Civil War and the massacre at Wounded Knee in 1890,
though there are several "late Westerns" (e.g., The Wild Bunch
and 100 Rifles) set as late as the Mexican Revolution in 1913.
There are also a number of films about Western-type characters
in contemporary settings where they don't fit in, such as Junior
Bonner set in the 1970s, and Down in the Valley and
The Three
Burials of Melquiades Estrada in the 21st century.
