Texas Jack: America's First Cowboy Star
Globe Pequot / TwoDot, 2021
A biography of John B. "Texas Jack" Omohundro — Confederate scout, trail boss, Buffalo Bill's first partner, and the man who put the cowboy on the American stage. He died at thirty-four. If he'd lived, it might be his name on the Wild West show instead of Cody's.
