It has been over seventy years since Tom Mix made his last movie, more than sixty
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 Westerner in a real ten gallon hat (not the puny variety favored by latter say screen heroes).
Here for the first time is a complete survey of the motion picture career of the screen's greatest cowboy 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.

Reviews:
"The definitive study of Tom Mix and his
films with a superb filmography. Reveals much new information about Mix's life in Hollywood and his personal affairs.
Required for anyone interested in Western Film." James Pepper
"After reading Robert S.
Birchard's King Cowboy: Tom Mix and the Movies, I really have a hankering to see Tom mix it up. Birchard's
affection and enthusiasm for the films comes across powerfully . . ." Randy Skretvedt
"Birchard
concentrates on a survey of Mix's movie work, documenting all of it with the most complete filmography to date.
Not only are many previously uncredited pictures represented, but a large number of earlier misconceptions have been eliminated."
