The Movies Go West

Hal Angus, of the original Essanay Film Manufacturing Company western unit, revisits the studio and location sites and reminisces about the early days between 1909-1916 when Gilbert M Anderson produced and starred in hundreds of westerns. He points out that in the role of Bronco Billy, Gilbert Anderson created the prototype of the movie cowboy hero and established the format of the classic American movie western.
