First Cowboy Hero of Fiction
Born in Fredericksburg, Texas, in 1857, William Levi “Buck” Taylor grew up to be
the “King of the Cowboys.”
He gained notoriety performing cowboy stunts for Buffalo Bill Cody’s Wild West show
and became the first cowboy hero of fiction in an 1887 dime novel written by
Prentiss Ingraham.
He wears his signature red shirt and embroidered sombrero in this circa 1890
publicity photograph. (Robt.G. McCubbin)

Fred Waite (left) and Henry Brown fought many a battle alongside William Bonney,
a.k.a. Billy the Kid, in the Lincoln County War, the infamous 1878 range war fought
in New Mexico Territory.
Like many photographs from that era, controversy does not elude this image as some
historians suspect Waite’s partner in this photo is not Brown, but fellow Regulator
John Middleton.

Quantrill’s Raider George Maddox (1831-1901) -

Maddox was teased & called the Peacock by his friends because of the fancy feather plumes he liked to wear on his hats.

Maddox was teased & called the Peacock by his friends because of the fancy feather plumes he liked to wear on his hats.

With his looks and guns, he strikes me as not too keen on teasing.
I’d make dang sure he was my pal and could take a joke!

If you read the book "Woe to Live On" or saw the movie "Ride With the Devil" the fictional character of George Clyde played by Simon Baker is based on the real life characters of George Todd & George Maddox. Todd & Maddox are heros where I live; we have streets named after both of them.

You think I’d get shot if I was to open the door for these ladies?

My hero in a way, Ann Warner.
She’s seated on far left.
Took a chance on me when I arrived in Hollywood with no experience.
Was looking for camera work and trying to go to college.
Mr. Jack Warner (The Col. he liked to be called that) is next to Flynn.

This is Joy Page who had a small part in “Casablanca”. Her mother was Ann Warner.
I met her once at the Jack Warner residence. She was Jack Warner’s stepdaughter.
A very quiet lady with very soulful eyes.

Traffic will stop and allow you to cross the street.
I’m talking about the middle of the street. (jaywalking)

This was somewhat uncomfortable.

Back home you cross the street first chance you get
and you best make dang-sure to watch out because..
" they ain’t a-stoppin’ fer ya!”
