Matt's Article in Wild West
My article on Texas Jack Omohundro, his friendship and partnership with Buffalo Bill Cody, and the ways that those men's lives and legacies intertwined to inform the popular image of the American cowboy in literature, television, and film is in this month's issue of Wild West Magazine. It is available at bookshops, newsstands, and even at Walmart now.
I'm proud to have my words on Texas Jack featured beside some of the best historians and authors writing about the American West, including Tom Clavin, John Boessenecker, Richard F. Selcer, Kevin Loren Carson, Carolyn Grattan Eichin, Chuck Zehnder, Aaron Robert Woodard, Jim Winnerman, Fred F. Poyner IV, John Koster, Linda Wommack, Will Gorenfeld, Terry Halden, and an interview of Bill Markley by Candy Moulton. These are writers I not only admire, but I read, and it truly is an honor to be mentioned in the same pages as they are.
