Texas Jack Jr.

Not long after the American Civil War, while driving a herd of cattle to northern markets, Texas Jack Omohundro found two small girls and a five-year-old boy who had been orphaned when their parents were attacked and killed by Native Americans.

[1] Will Rogers approached Jack hoping to get a job wrangling the horses or setting tents.

The show included a historical re-enactment of the 1893 Shangani Patrol, a last stand of 34 white soldiers against an overwhelming number of Ndebele warriors, with Jack starring as Frederick Russell Burnham, the American chief of scouts who was one of only three survivors of the battle.

[2] The re-enactment was filmed and released as a war movie entitled Major Wilson's Last Stand that same year.

[3] A couple of years later he returned to South Africa and started "Texas Jack's Wild West Show & Circus.
