X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Cowboy. Soldier. Movie Star. Storyteller o
 f the Old West. Colonel Tim McCoy (1891-1978) was all these things and mor
 e. To an earlier generation of moviegoers\, he was best known as the star 
 of countless B Westerns. But to the Arapaho of Wyoming\, McCoy was always 
 High Eagle&mdash\;a friend to their tribe and an authentic cowboy who brou
 ght attention to Native American sign language in popular culture. An expe
 rt in &ldquo\;sign talk\,&rdquo\; he demonstrated his expertise on tribal 
 communication both on film and television. Decades before Dances With Wolv
 es (1990)\, McCoy&rsquo\;s film\, End of the Trail (1932) reflected a rare
  social consciousness and a perspective that recognized the white man&rsqu
 o\;s injustices towards Native Americans.</p>\n<p>Tim McCoy has been calle
 d the last link between the Old West and the new&mdash\;a storyteller who 
 spoke with authority and first-hand knowledge. As a cowboy and rancher\, h
 e knew the West and had met several of its more colorful characters\, incl
 uding his mentor\, William &ldquo\;Buffalo Bill&rdquo\; Cody. McCoy carrie
 d on Cody&rsquo\;s tradition of the &ldquo\;Wild West&rdquo\; show by form
 ing his own\, which opened in Chicago in 1938. Throughout his life\, McCoy
  maintained strong ties to the West&mdash\;but none were more lasting than
  those with the Arapaho\, who accepted him as one of their own.</p>\n<p>Th
 is examination of McCoy&rsquo\;s life and career is presented on McCoy&rsq
 uo\;s birthday\, April 10\, by film historian Matthew C. Hoffman\, a McCoy
  researcher and host of the Pickwick Theatre Classic Film Series in Park R
 idge\, IL. He works full-time as the Circulation manager at Wilmette Publi
 c Library. The multi-media presentation will feature photos\, film clips\,
  and stories told in McCoy&rsquo\;s own words. Tim McCoy memorabilia will 
 also be on display.</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p
