Using the formula of 5.2 readers per copy, as determined by the Magazine Publishers Association, Cowboys & Indians now has an average of 766,480 readers for each issue.
"As with the American West," says Cowboys & Indians publisher Gregory L. Brown, "the story of this magazine has been one of growth and expansion." From the very beginning, "we have focused on everything exceptional about the American West: history and legend, hardworking people, dramatic vistas, enduring values. And as the West has evolved to mean more than cowboys and Indians, we have expanded the scope of the magazine, reflecting all the West has come to signify to an ever-growing number of people who regard it as not merely a geographic locale, but also a state of mind and a way of life."
For Brown, the West "is a lifestyle, a culture, a feeling in the soul. It's still the place of the frontier: mountains and rivers, forests and desert, plains and prairie. But it's also the place of the moment -- Wall Street and Main Street, Music City and Redwood County, East Hamptons and West Texas, unique hotels and high-end ranch homes -- where people savor chili cook-offs and haute cuisine, honky-tonks and symphony orchestras, rodeos and Western art, faded blue jeans and designer jewelry."
Cowboys & Indians invites readers to both these worlds in every issue, Brown says. "We like to think of our magazine," he adds, "as an ongoing invitation to the best of the American West."
The June issue of Cowboys & Indians, now on sale, features a cover-story profile of Harrison Ford -- star of the eagerly awaited film "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," and proud owner of an 800-acre spread in Wyoming.
The special 15th anniversary issue, on sale June 10, will spotlight actor Tom Selleck at home on his California ranch.
