Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Will James, an author who in two dozen self-illustrated books and scores of articles, created one of the most popular and probably last cowboy legends of the American West. James was an expert at taking fact and fantasy, legend and lore and combining it to create a cowboy story people could lose themselves in. Sadly though, James's success in creating a happy, literary fantasy for children and adults, couldn't extend to himself. A victim of the very articles, books, and drawings that made him famous, James's immense popularity threatened to topple the greatest story he ever penned -- the story of his life.
