Description

Texas Jack America's First Cowboy Star by Matthew Kerns is a biography that tells the story of John B. "Texas Jack" Omohundro, the first well-known cowboy in America. Following the end of the American Civil War, Jack left Virginia for Texas, where he became a cowboy and trail boss, jobs that would shape his life. Jack's experiences on the Chisholm and Goodnight-Loving trails to New Mexico, California, Kansas, and Nebraska are detailed in this biography. In 1868, he met James B. "Wild Bill" Hickok in Kansas and William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody in Nebraska at the end of a major cattle drive to North Platte. These encounters led to Jack becoming the subject of a series of dime novels written by Ned Buntline. This biography offers a unique insight into the life of Texas Jack, a man who became an iconic figure in American history through his adventures on the open range.
