The West has always been that unknown, that unexplored frontier, something mystical and primitive to be feared and conquered, and many Americans, like John Omohundro, better known as Texas Jack, became one of those frontiersmen.
In Matthew Kern’s new book “Texas Jack: America’s First Cowboy Star,” he strips away the romantic myth of the American cowboy and gives a raw and honest expose of a legendary icon of the West.
The book took three and half years to write; two years of research and a year and a half of revising and editing. Kerns original goal was to write a fictional story about the year Wild Bill, Buffalo Bill, and Texas Jack did a theatrical tour together. While he researched the men, he found multiple biographies of Hickok and Cody, and only one slim book about Texas Jack, written back in the mid-1950s.

Robin Nusbaum grew accustomed to receiving spur-of-the-moment texts from Ryan Miller during his tenure in Buffalo. Nusbaum coordinated events for the Courage of Carly Fund (then known as Carly s Club), the pediatric program at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Miller, at the time as much a household name as any in Western New York, would text Nusbaum on the occasional day off and ask to come visit the hospital. The relationship worked both ways. Nusbaum could reach out to Miller for any of Carly s Club s weekly events to gauge his availability.
