Will James : The Last Cowboy Legend

"Will James, in two dozen self illustrated books and scores of articles, created one of the most popular and probably last cowboy legends of the American West. James was a expert at taking fact and fantasy, legend and lore, and combining them to create a cowboy story people could lose themselves in. Sadly though, James's success in creating a happy, literary fantasy for children and adults couldn't extend to himself. A victim of the very articles, books, and drawings that made him famous, James's immense popularity threatened to topple the greatest James story of all - the story of his life."
