Westerns
Westerns are devoted to telling stories set primarily in the latter half of the 19th century in the American Old West, but there are also a number of works about Western-type characters in contemporary settings.
Westerns often stress the harshness of the wilderness and frequently set the action in an arid, desolate landscape.
