"The Wild West goes back farther in time than you might imagine. The first "cow-boys" were rustlers during the American Revolution and by the end of the Revolution, the "frontier" was the Ohio River Valley. It also extends much farther into modern times than most would think. Early Hollywood cowboy movie star Tom Mix was a real cowboy in the late 1800s. Wyatt Earp and Butch Cassidy lived into the twentieth century. And, there is substantial evidence that the Sundance Kid lived until 1957." "Once again, What They Didn't Teach You ... author Mike Wright breathes life into our nation's history while spotlighting many little-known stories from the Wild West, always with a fine eye for the human element."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
