Delmar Thomas Wild West Star
This program focuses on early Mountainair resident Delmar Thomas—an early stunt rider and movie actor with the Wild Bill Hickok Show and others.
When farms and ranches stopped producing during the dust bowl and depression years, many cowboys moved to Hollywood in order to find work. During these years, those in the movies were looking for men who could ride, rope and perform stunts on the backs of their horses. There was actually a demand for this type of actor in the 1920s through the 1950s.
