My Life East and West
The Life Story of William S. Hart
William S. Hart
Reprint Edition 2008

From the Book Cover:
Bill Hart spent his boyhood on the Dakota prairies. Indians and cowboys were his playfellows. He learned to ride and to shoot, and while still a boy became rancher, hunter, and "bull-whacker." Returning to the East, he fought his way up - iceman, clerk, athlete, and actor.

Hart's reminiscences of his stage life are a chapter out of the heart of American theater history His reminiscences of this period include contacts with almost all the better-known personages of the stage. When the movies came, Hart saw and seized his opportunity. Western pictures of a sort had flooded the market, but the authenticity and skill that he brought to them revolutionized the making of the cowboy scenes. Soundly trained as an actor, with all the knowledge of his plains youth to draw upon, his Western men were the real hing.

In the quiet of his big California ranch, he set down this picturesque story of his life.
