Silent-film star Thomas Edwin “Tom” Mix was the most flamboyant and popular of all the early movie cowboys. Noted for his horsemanship, daring stunt work, and fancy wardrobe, Tom Mix became the highest-paid actor in Hollywood by 1928, earning $17,000 per week.  (19303.77.97.307.166, Tom Mix Collection, OHS)
