This is a mother lode for diehard Wayne and western-film fans. - Booklist Back in my newspaper days I frequently visited and wrote about places made famous simply because John Wayne was there: Ireland of The Quiet Man, Monument Valley, True Grit's San Juan Mountains and one memorable day-long visit with Duke himself at his Newport Beach, California home. But that mere handful of destinations does not begin to compare with the far-flung locales detailed in Roland Schaefli's magnificent book, John Wayne Was Here. Much more than a travelog, Schaefli takes us to movie sets the world over and provides detailed production notes and then-and-now images from Wayne's most classic films. Absolutely fascinating! --Brian Downes, executive director, John Wayne Birthplace and Museum, Winterset, Iowa. Schaefli is a scholar of all things relating to the Duke and his films...a comprehensive look at Wayne's international locations and their relevance to his life and career.... fascinating facts in regard to both history and the movie industry. ...generously illustrated...If you're a Wayne fan saddle up, stop burnin' daylight and add this worthy volume to your collection. --Cinema Retro I had to let you know what a treat your John Wayne Was Here has been for my summer. I've read a LOT of books on John Wayne but few I've enjoyed like your work which resonates so closely with this student of the filmography. Besides enjoying the well-researched text, I loved seeing many pictures of the Duke (again, I've seen a lot) that I'd never seen before. Give yourself a big pat on the back from me for this worthy accomplishment.--Tim Lilley, author/editor of the Campfire Conversations: Tim Lilley's Interviews with the Coworkers of John Wayne.
