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.

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.

What else can be said about John Wayne? The quotes in this book are wonderful. They really reflect the genuine hero that Wayne was. If you listen really hard while you enjoy these bits of his wisdom, you can almost hear the magical voice of The Duke. If you are a fan, you must have this book!

Great book full of common sense and insight into the man. Proof that when you look up American in the dictionary, it says 'see John Wayne'. Why didn't we ever make this man President?

I've been a fan of "Duke" for over 30 years and I've read a lot about him, and I can say that "The Quotable John Wayne - The Grit And Wisdom Of An American Icon" by Carol Lea Mueller is one of the finest. Not simply another boring biography like many other books, this book succinctly gets to the 'True Grit'...the spirit behind the legend of the man. Chock full of interesting anecdotes,memorable quotes and tasty tidbits regarding Duke's attitudes about God, America & family values, it's all here. Good job Ms. Mueller!

My wife and I are big John Wayne fans. The content is great,however the amount of it for the price is not a good value. The book can be read in
one short sitting. All of these quotes plus many more can be found on line

I bought this item for my cousin -- an avid John Wayne fan -- and he loved it! It's a great little book and a great collector's item for all JW fans.

It is good to know different sides to a person. In Wayne's own words you see who he was. He was funny, patriotic, and opinionated. John Wayne loved his family, friends and America. He did not take himself seriously-he took his life seriously. Carol Lea Muller has done a good job of showing many side of John Wayne throught his own words.
