Gene Autry's horse was Champion. Roy Roger's horse was Trigger. Some folks confuse the two movie horses but there is no confusion that both are loved by B Western movie fans. Gene Autry Entertainment recommends this book to learn more about Trigger, regarded by many as the most famous movie horse of all time.
But in truth, "Trigger" was a composite of the original horse, a number of look-alikes and one extraordinary double named Little Trigger. This book is a detailed look at the animals and men who created and nurtured the legend of "the smartest horse in the movies." It covers the life story of the original horse and the look-alikes, as well as the story of "Trigger," the legend. A filmography lists all films in which Trigger appeared, including some without Roy Rogers. Television and personal appearances are also discussed. Cover

Singing cowboy Gene Autry did much to popularise country music, not only on the silver screen, but also to an international audience. The most successful of all singing cowboys to break into movies, his influence on what we now know as country music was tremendous. Through his films and recordings, Autry made country and western music appealing to middle America, bringing those genres from marginal to mainstream. His songs always had great charm and are outstanding for their simplicity and brevity. There can be few anywhere in the world who have not at some time heard hits like That Silver Haired Daddy Of Mine, You Are My Sunshine, South Of The Border, Back In The Saddle Again and the perennial Christmas favourite Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer. He was a consummate entertainer who succeeded in many aspects of the entertainment world. Not only was he a much loved film star and radio entertainer, but he also covered an amazing amount of stylistic terrain in his recordings, including early blues, country, pop songs of the day, movie music and children’s music.
