October is National Book Month—a time to celebrate the power of stories and the books that inspired classic cinema. Books from John Wayne’s personal collection—many of which were adapted into his most beloved films like True Grit by Charles Portis and The Searchers by Alan Le May—are on display at the John Wayne: An American Experience Museum in the historic Fort Worth Stockyards, Texas. We’re open daily from 9 AM to 6 PM. Visit johnwayneae.com to purchase tickets or gift one to the literary cowboy in your life. Which John Wayne film based on a book is your favorite?
