King Cowboy: Tom Mix and the Movies

It has been nearly sixty years since Tom Mix made his last movie, more than fifty years since his death, and few today have seen "America's Champion Cowboy" on screen - yet the name Tom Mix still conjures up the image of a cowboy star in a real ten-gallon hat. Here for the first time is a complete survey of the motion picture career of the screen's greatest Western star. From The Trimming of Paradise Gulch in 1910 to The Miracle Rider in 1935, all of Tom Mix's 270 films are documented with full production and screen credits, contemporary reviews and plot summaries. The Mix movies come alive in hundreds of dramatic scene stills, unique frame enlargements, and rare behind the scenes photos.
