James H. Cook – known as “Captain Jim” Cook – was for more than fifty years a cowboy and ranch ‘boss’ in the Llano Estacado country of Texas; a big game hunter in the northern plains and Rocky Mountain area; an Indian scout for the United States cavalry in its campaign to corral the troublesome Apaches; a trusted and intimate friend of the Sioux; and an outspoken champion of the Northern Cheyennes.
