Texas Jack’s twin careers are winding down. He wraps up his final hunting expedition in the wilds of the American West, and then launches his final dramatic tour. Jack and Giuseppina Morlacchi arrive in Leadville, Colorado for several months of shows that will be Jack’s last performances. He adds one more heroic moment to his résumé before the end. Texas Jack’s friends and family honor him as a legendary cowboy, scout, hunter, and stage performer.
