    TRUE GRIT!
  

*by P***I on Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2015*

Easy to ready book full of personal letters sent to Duke and sent by Duke.  I already knew a lot about Duke but liked him even more after reading these letters.  I liked his bluntness in writing politicians, like the time he told Barry Goldwater that he was upset that Goldwater didn't return his call.  I also liked it when a fan who was ill and was entering the hospital invited Duke to his "farewell" party and Duke told him to stop calling it a farewell and to toughen up and come out okay.  He had strong opinions but was also very generous.  He returned $2500 paid him for an appearance that actor's union required him to accept.  So he deposited their check and wrote a personal one to the organization where he spoke so that they could get their money back.  Duke's confidence just shines through in this great book and I found it inspiring!

*by J***I on Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2017*

Got this for my Dad who's birthday is in January.  Since I had to hold onto it for so long I ended up reading it before giving it to him.  It was a great book!  I grew up watching his movies because my Dad is a huge fan, I have to say there was a lot in this book I did not know about John Wayne & it just made me love him more.  I'm sure my Dad will be thrilled with it when he reads it!

    A Sampling of Duke's Correspondence
  

*by P***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2021*

As a big fan of John Wayne, I wanted to add this book to my collection.  I purchased this in the hardcover edition.  If you've read a lot of books about John Wayne, as I have, only a few of the pictures will be new to you but there are some good ones  included.I was a little disappointed in the number of letters/telegrams/etc that were shown.  I was hoping for more correspondence & fewer pictures.  However, we do get a sampling of correspondence to & from John Wayne between him and family, friends, coworkers, politicians, fans, & service men.  There is even a handwriting analysis included in the first few pages.  I particularly liked a letter he wrote to his grandchildren & the letter he wrote in response to the Harvard students' challenge.  He was obviously a very caring, thoughtful, & intelligent man.
