Perhaps best known for his classic movie lines, such as "Fill your hands, you sons-of-bitches!" from True Grit, the late actor John Wayne often displayed a spontaneous and biting wit when away from the screen as well. When a reporter from the Harvard Crimson sarcastically asked Wayne if he looked at himself as an "American Legend," for example, the Duke replied: "Well, not being a Harvard man, I don't look at myself any more than necessary." This small gem of inspiration contains Wayne anecdotes on God and country, the old West, friends and family, and acting, and concludes with quotes from others about John Wayne the actor and John Wayne the man.

John Wayne a True American Icon,
By Jason C. "Jason C." (Santa Cruz, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Quotable John Wayne: The Grit and Wisdom of an American Icon (Hardcover)
This book has real American Ideals from a True American Icon, from a time when being a proud American was a good thing. This book has come out at a perfect time to remind Americans that it is okay to be patriotic.
This is something that any fan of John Wayne, westerns or American Ideals, should have on their shelves. I highly appreciate Carol Mueller for reminding us that John Wayne was a True American and publishing it in time for John Waynes 100 year anniversery.

A "True" American,
By Tired veteran "Doc" (Everywhere, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Quotable John Wayne: The Grit and Wisdom of an American Icon (Hardcover)
John Wayne was my "Hero" when I was growing up. And as you know, all kids needed heroes, at least they used to. The heroes of kids nowadays aren't worth a hill of beans. John Wayne was a hero to more than just kids. He was also a true American. He instilled the values and morals in me, that it took to join the military during one of the craziest wars this country ever seen. John Wayne will be missed.

The John Wayne fanatic in our family (who, by the way, has nearly everything John Wayne) was excited to receive this as a gift.
