"From the silent movie era to the early days of television, hundreds of small production companies turned out low-budget films that were played as second features in this country and abroad. As might be expected, a high percentage were Westerns. The people who made these films - producers, directors, writers, actors, and technicians - inhabited what came to be known as Poverty Row, eking out a living doing a job they loved. Author C.

Jack Lewis spent twenty-five years in this world of low-budget Westerns, and in White Horse, Black Hat he reveals the human side of the industry. Highly personal and filled with rare glimpses of a life that remains in the memory of only a few, this narrative is a nostalgic memoir of a bygone time, of those who shared life on Poverty Row, and of the hard work, failures, successes, and dreams made or broken."--BOOK JACKET.
