A pioneer cowboy film star………… As a youngster at the age of 13 he ran away with a circus for a short time. Later he worked as a horse wrangler on the Miller 101 Ranch. The rodeo sparked his interest and then Bronco Busting became his game. In 1907 he joined the Dick Stanley and Bud Atkinson Wild West Show. He made his way as a top notch cowboy on that show. Then a few friends got him into the movie business doing stunts and training horses. It did not take too long for someone to discover that he could act. In 1910 it all came together for him, a cowboy star was born.
