A friend of cowboys, presidents & kings, Tom Mix was the most popular cowboy hero of the silent film era. This legendary star was a rodeo champion, wild-west show performer, & one-time Texas ranger who began his work in film as a horse wrangler & extra, & soon graduated to starring roles in hundreds of Westerns. A consummate showman, his great popularity was bolstered by his ability to blur the distinctions between his on-screen & off-screen persona - in the eyes of the public, he was whatever he claimed to be. KING COWBOY is the first comprehensive study of Tom Mix's career. Includes the most complete, annotated Mix filmography ever compiled & many never-before-published behind-the-scences photographs.
