A Brief History of Frontier Times Magazine

First published in 1923 by Texas historian J. Marvin Hunter, Frontier Times Magazine quickly became a beloved publication for those fascinated by the history of the American West. Printed monthly for decades, the magazine preserved firsthand accounts, folklore, and rare documents related to pioneers, cowboys, lawmen, outlaws, and Native American history. With contributions from descendants of frontier settlers and old-timers alike, it served as a time capsule of a disappearing era.

Unlike dramatized Western fiction, the magazine focused on factual stories, memoirs, and rare letters that offered an unfiltered look into life on the frontier. Its emphasis on primary sources, vintage photos, and firsthand perspectives made it a vital record of regional and national history.
