His gear is all here too: the SADDLE, SPURS, a STETSON hat and a BANDANA.

About this puzzle

About the Western word search

Then it is into town, where the STAGECOACH pulls up by the SALOON, a TUMBLEWEED blows down the street and the SHERIFF pins up a WANTED POSTER. The word list runs easy-to-medium and suits children from about 7 up, great for a cowboy party or a lesson on frontier life. The answer key is on page two. For the history behind the legends, see the westward expansion word searches; more in the American history word searches.
