Steve Frazee-"Cheyenne And The Lost Gold Of Lion Park"-1958-Whitman Publishing-5 1/2" X 7 1/2"-282 pages-hardcover book -with illustrations-Signed By Clint Walker. Norman Eugene "Clint" Walker (born May 30, 1927) is an American actor best known for his cowboy role as "Cheyenne Bodie" in the TV Western series, Cheyenne. Walker was born in Hartford, Illinois. He left school to work at a factory and on a river boat, then joined the United States Merchant Marine at 17 during the tail end of World War II. After leaving the Merchant Marines, he worked at odd jobs in Brownwood, Texas, Long Beach, California, and Las Vegas, where he worked as a doorman at the Sands Hotel. In Los Angeles, he was hired by Cecil B. DeMille to appear in The Ten Commandments. A friend in the film business helped get him a few bit parts that brought him to the attention of Warner Bros. who were in the process of developing a western style television series. Walker's good looks and physique--he was one-quarter Cherokee descent, stood 6ft 6in (198 cm), with a 48in chest and a 32in waist--landed him an audition and he won the lead role. Billed as "Clint" Walker, he was cast as Cheyenne Bodie, a cowboy hero set in the post American Civil War era. Although the series regularly capitalized on Walker's rugged frame with frequent bare-chested scenes, it was well written and acted; it proved hugely popular for eight seasons on the ABC television network. Walker then played roles in several big screen films including a trio of westerns for Gordon Douglas: Fort Dobbs in 1958, Yellowstone Kelly in 1959, and Gold of the Seven Saints in 1961, as well as The Night of the Grizzly in 1966 and in 1967, the very successful war drama, The Dirty Dozen.The book has been autographed on the front cover by Clint Walker in black....BOTH BOOK AND AUTOGRAPH ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION....................
