Legends of America
Who We Are
Kathy is discussing Bat Masterson on American Heroes Channel (AHC).
Like so many other small businesses, Legends of America started as a hobby. Owner-Editor Kathy Weiser-Alexander has a deep-seated passion for history, travel, writing, and nearly everything within the creative realm. With this in mind, she started a small personal webpage calledHigh Country Legends in 2002. The ideas and opportunities quickly expanded, and soon, a small business she had started in 1998, called the Rocky Mountain General Store, was merged with the new website. This business, which was also a hobby, served as the sales outlet for her creative endeavors.
Kathy’s qualifications include a degree in Business Administration, years of experience in drawing, painting, and other artistic pursuits, and, when creativity didn’t pay the bills, more than 20 years of hands-on corporate experience encompassing business and people management, customer service, technology, and consulting.
In 2003, Kathy met David Alexander inKansas City, though both are native Texans. That same year, the hobby website evolved into Legends of America, marking the beginning of a new career. From the beginning, Dave contributed advice and his technical knowledge, and became a primary travel partner. Dave was involved in the radio broadcasting industry from his mid-teens. In 1999, Dave left the airwaves to join a company that designed, managed, and supported software for radio stations, which Google eventually purchased in 2006. His division was sold off in the fall of 2009, at which time he joinedLegends of America full-time.

Kathy is a published author, with her first book,Great American Bars and Saloons,published in 2006. She has also made significant contributions to Greetings from Route 66, alongside several other noted Route 66 authors. Her work is also published under the “Legends Of America” name, including Old West Lawmen (2012), Lynching, Hanging, & Vigilante Groups (2014), and Frontier Slang, Lingo, & Phrases (2015).
In 2014, Kathy was featured in the cable network Investigation Discovery (ID) channel’s “Evil Kin,” episode 202 about theBloody Benders, and both Kathy and Dave took part in Ghost Towns: America’s Lost World, a 5+ hour, two-disc DVD released by Mill Creek Entertainment in April of the same year. In 2015, Kathy appeared on the American Heroes Channel in two episodes of the show “Gunslingers,” discussing Bat Masterson, which originally aired on August 2, 2015, and Bill Doolin, which originally aired on August 16, 2015. In 2016, Kathy appeared in the new AHC Series “American Lawmen” in the season 1 episode “Dallas Stoudenmire: The Hero of El Paso,” which originally aired on March 16, 2016. In the Spring of 2018, Mill Creek Entertainment took portions of unaired footage from our 2014 interview and created a new documentary, “Ghosts in Ghost Towns: Haunting the Wild West,” available to stream on Amazon. In March 2019, Kathy appeared in “True First,” Season 1, Episode 6, “Bass Reeves,” on theUrban Movie Channel (UMC).
Although we started Legends in the Kansas City area, with Dave in Prairie Village, Kansas, and Kathy in Lenexa, Kansas, the business officially relocated to Warsaw,Missouri, in May 2010. Warsaw, which sits on the dam separating Truman Lake and the Lake of the Ozarks, is a small town with approximately 2,000 full-time residents. That number, however, doubles as people flock to enjoy the lakes in the summer.
Kathy is in charge of the writing, photography, and website design, while Dave handles all technical aspects, shipping, marketing, & sales.Legends General Store andLegends PhotoShop, which feature the many photos taken during Legends’ travels, as well as a large volume of restored vintage images, help support our website and travels.
