Old West Sourcebooks?

For Weird West inspiration, you could also have a look at some Joe R. Lansdale stuff, particularly his Jonah Hex comics and graphic novels. Two Gun Mojo, for example, features a zombie Wild Bill Hickok.

GURPS Old West is very well done and extremely useful. For background color and inspiration, I recommend the Time-Life Old West series of books. If your local library doesn't have them, you can find them on Amazon.

And for myself it doesn't hurt to live within an hours drive from the Robber's Roost area in one direction, and about the same distance from where Butch Cassidy was born in another.
