The most famous movie cowboy of the movies died violently in 1940 and is virtually forgotten today because all but ten of his films were silent movies.

Tom Mix was a town marshal and cowboy in the Oklahoma Territory, a rodeo champion and a wild west show performer. With his devil-may-care attitude, quick wit and penchant for doing breath-taking stunts on his wonder horse, Tony, Tom Mix went on to become the #1 movie cowboy of silent films, earning millions of dollars at a time when movie tickets cost pennies. Mix performed for over 71,000,000 fans through his film and live performances and became famous the world over for his squeaky clean image. In his time he was as famous as baseball great Babe Ruth and world champion boxer Jack Dempsey, both of whom were his friends.

While he basked in this incredible acclaim, Tom Mix lived in fear that his deep, dark secrets would be discovered and his career and his cherished image would be destroyed.

Celebrated author Richard D. Jensen has spent more than 30 years researching the life of Tom Mix, the man hailed as "the idol of every American boy."

With incredible detail, much of it gained from hundreds of original letters, records, documents and eyewitness accounts of Mix's life, The Amazing Tom Mix cuts through 100 years of public relations mythology, tall tales and outright lies to bring the true and inspiring story of a man whose Saturday matinee cowboy image would become the standard for all of the movie cowboys who rode the silver screen after him.

"Here is Tom Mix as he really was...a captivating biography ... brilliant ... delightful ... It is a splendid book."
-Richard S. Wheeler, five-time Spur Award winning author of Trouble In Tombstone.

..". the most complete biography of Mix's life of trials, tribulations and victories."
-John Duncklee, author of Bull By The Tale.

Small but holds alot
Color: Large Coffee
Love this bag! Dis a bit of research as I wanted a zipped bag, with outside pockets for my phone and not those inner pockets for holding credit cards. This is perfect for me. Very nicely put together and is a perfect color of brown. I will be using this alot.

Can’t Open Zipper All the Way!!
Color: Large Coffee, Color: Large Coffee
There is a bizarre piece of metal attached to zipper that prevents the bag from opening all the way. I bought one of these purses last year and it did NOT have this, so the bag opened completely. However, the leather is showing wear so I decided to buy another one, this time in dark brown. When it came, I noticed that the silky satin lining had been replaced by cheap, rough, dull material. I guess that’s okay, even though they raised the price $10. The zipper thing though, no way. I need my purse to be able to open all the way. I sent it back, to be replaced with the exact same item. Just got it today and it still has that metal piece on the zipper!! What the hell?! I included a pic of my old purse showing it zipped all the way open, and the new purse with the zipper stopped about 1.5 inches from the end. I truly don’t understand, but it’s going back again.
