He left home in 1907 to fulfill his dream of becoming a cowboy. By 1910 he had crossed the Canadian-U.S. border into Montana and changed his name to Will James..." James was "an artist and author of books about the American west and, in particular, horses, Will James wrote the 1926 book "Smoky the Cowhorse", which was awarded the John Newbery Medal in 1927. The book has inspired many a writer, and many a person about coming back from neglect and cruel treatment. (Buffalo Bill Center of The West, and Wikipedia).
