The book tells the story of Omohundro's life, from his early days as a cowboy and buffalo hunter in Texas to his later career as a performer in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. Omohundro was known for his expert marksmanship and his skill with a lasso, as well as his rugged good looks and charismatic personality. The book explores his relationships with other famous figures of the American West, including Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane, and provides a detailed look at the culture and history of the era. Through extensive research and interviews with Omohundro's family and friends, Logan creates a vivid portrait of a man who embodied the spirit of the Wild West.
