Thanks for bringing it to our attention,may2!Thanks for the information,
I have now added this to
Books By Pals Of The SaddleThis is the amazing story of Ben Johnson, the cowboy who grew up in the tall grass prairie of Oklahoma, rode to Hollywood in a boxcar full of horses and became an Oscar-winning actor. Johnson co-starred in some of Hollywood's greatest Western movies of all time, alongside John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Steve McQueen, Marlon Brando, Henry Fonda, Charles Bronson, Burt Reynolds, Alan Ladd, and many more.
Known as "Son" to his family and friends, Johnson was the son of a three-time world champion rodeo cowboy also named Ben Johnson. Dividing his time between the world of movies and the world of rodeo, "Son" Johnson became one of the greatest rodeo cowboys of all time, winning the 1953 RCA World Championship for team roping.
A man of principle who believed in the value of "honesty, realism and respect," Johnson managed to forge a successful career in the film industry without becoming a part of the excesses of Hollywood. He often paid dearly for his integrity, enduring a blacklist by famed Western director John Ford for refusing to allow Ford to verbally abuse him.
Johnson's career lasted more than 50 years, with many highs and lows, but through it all he always stayed true to the cowboy code.
When he won his Oscar for The Last Picture Show in 1972, Johnson took the stage and, in his typical "aw shucks" way, said, "This couldn't have happened to a nicer fella." The Nicest Fella is a must read for fans of Ben Johnson, rodeo fans, Western movie buffs, Hollywood fanatics, and anyone who still believes in the American dream! With 30 pages of never-before-seen photographs from the Johnson family collection and a complete filmography.

Dixie,
Even the links Mrs C posted since they are from 2006 a few are broken. The second and last ones just in case they didn't work for you.Dixie and Shortgrub.
When posting external links, one is never to know
how long they will be good.As far as links internally within this board, some do not fuction,
as they were transferred over from our old forum, and therefore,
cease to work on this board.As far as links in the Movies, 'Pal's section,
I have spent many hours repairing them,
and hopefully, they all now function.However, if you come across any that don't,
please PM me, with the rogue link.
