Cowboys & Indians is an American magazine that focuses on the Western lifestyle. It was founded by former high-tech and defense manufacturing entrepreneur Robert Hartman. Hartman's family were originally ranchers from Cody, Wyoming and his grandmother was close friends with Wyatt Earp and his wife Josephine. When the family moved to Los Angeles in the early 1920's, Josephine and Wyatt soon followed. Hartman's parents purchased a ranch in the San Fernando Valley where he was raised.
With a family history steeped in western ranching he recognized that current Western lifestyle was void of bridging the past to the present. This gave rise to the idea of creating a glossy storytelling magazine and Hartman began formulating the substance of the publication in 1991 in an effort to combine the history and stories of the west with art, western antiques, ranching, real estate, fashion and travel. In 1992 the first issue was published with 12,000 copies printed. The first issue became a highly collected issue followed by a growing circulation that was distributed through subscription, airports and over 17,000 locations in the United States and a number of foreign countries.
In 1996 Hartman was approached to sell the publication. Following the sale, the publication was sold a second time and is currently published by Gregory L. Brown. Editorial offices are located in Dallas.
