Jack Crawford (18471917) entertained a generation of Americans and introduced them to their frontier heritage. A master storyteller who presented the West as he experienced it, he was one of America's most popular performers in the late nineteenth century.Dressed in buckskin with a widebrimmed sombrero covering his flowing locks, Crawford delivered a 'frontier monologue and medley' that, as one New York City journalist reported, 'held his audience spellbound for two hours by a simple narration of his life.'In this biography, Darlis Miller recreates his experiences as a scout, rancher, miner, reformer, husband and father, and poet and entertainer to reinterpret the American Dream and the lure of getting rich pursued by many during the Gilded Age.
