Those Great Cowboy Sidekicks is an in-depth examination of such fondly remembered comic character actors as George "Gabby Hayes, Smiley Burnette, Andy Devine, Al "Fuzzy" St. John, Pat Buttram, and many other sidekicks of the B-Westerns-39 in all. Much of the book is told through the reminiscences of the sidekicks themselves and the cowboy stars who enjoyed the company of these often bewhiskered, tobacco-chewing saddle pals. Author David Rothel interviewed many of the top Western stars, sidekicks, heroines, directors, writers, relatives and Gower Gulch extras in his effort to tell the story of these comic actors.
