I actually started a thread about the Wagons West books I read as a teen. I enjoyed them there but didn't read them all and was looking for feedback on them from some others.
Anyway... not sure what you consider "western" but they are about the expansion to the western states with characters like Sam Houston and others around that time.
Here is a link to my lonely 1 message thread.
