Charlie LeSueur has conducted well over 1000 Question and Answer sessions with the cowboy stars of the silver screen and television starting with Lash La Rue in 1992. In 1999 he released his first book based on interviews he conducted up until that time. The Legends Live On: Interviews with the Cowboy Stars of the Silver Screen features in depth studies of stars such as, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, Rex Allen, Harry Carey, Jr., Ben Johnson, Robert Fuller, Buck and Dub Taylor, Lash La Rue, John Smith, and Johnny Western told through revealing interviews. In 2014, Charlie released an addendum to this book which answers unanswered questions to the John Smith chapter. Clearing up the Dusty Trail: The Chapter 6 Addendum is offered with the previous book or separately.
Since then, LeSueur has written Riding the Hollywood Trail: Tales of the Silver Screen Cowboys. This comprehensive study of the history of the silver screen "B" westerns is told through the careers of the stars starting with Broncho Billy Anderson in 1903 and ending in 1955 when the studios closed this chapter of western film history.
Since then he has released two CDs called Golden Nuggets Along the Old Hollywood Trail which feature little known facts and stories about film and television westerns and the stars. He is currently working on his next book, Riding the Hollywood Trail II: Blazing the Early Television Trail, which features the fascinating stories of the stars and film heroes that successfully and not so successfully made the transition to television in the early 1950s.
In January of 2014, Charlie LeSueur was honored with his boot prints pressed in cement and added to the Apacheland Wall of Fame in the Audie Murphy Barn at the Superstition Mountain Museum. In February of 2014, he proudly was proclaimed Arizona's Official Western Film Historian.

Horses
and Heroes is not about pointing fingers or creating a political
firestorm. It is a documentary, which will help military personnel and
veterans find a new way to cope with the physical and emotional
challenges brought into their lives by war. Equine Therapy does not
involve drugs nor lying on a couch and spilling their guts. What it does
do is help them find new ways to see and react to their emotional
triggers. It helps their bodies remember how it used to work. It can't
replace what was lost, but it can give them the confidence to see that
they are more than the sum of their body parts. Horses and Heroes will
give veterans and military personnel the information they need to find
alternative healing solutions, which can help prevent another Fort Hood.
Horses and Heroes can’t fix the system nor will be it is a cure all.
What it will do is show that there is an alternative that does help by
focusing on the how working with the horses helps military personnel and
veterans face their physical and emotional challenges, it will reach
out to those who are in need and tell them they are not alone. It will
provide the dual benefit of also providing jobs. Not only will it share
the personal stories about the effectiveness of Equine Therapy, but we
will also be give jobs to veterans already in the entertainment industry
and open the door for those who are looking for a new career.
