ASSOCIATION
Before the world had a picture of the cowboy, it had Texas Jack — the scout who carried the frontier onto the stage and made it legend.
Texas Jack introduced the cowboy to America in 1872, refined the icon alongside his friends Buffalo Bill Cody and Wild Bill Hickock thru 1876, kept building it until his death, and handed the finished figure to the men who would broadcast it around the world.
The Association exists to keep him from slipping out of the history he created.
The Life
Who Was Texas Jack?
He once stood beside Wild Bill Hickok and Buffalo Bill Cody as friend, partner, costar, and equal. If you think you know the Wild West, but you don't Know John B. Omohundro, You don't know Jack!
The Family
Are You an Omohundro?
Every Omohundro and Mohundro in America descends from one colonial Virginia family. If that name is yours — or your mother's, or your grandmother's — Texas Jack may be your cousin. Tell us, and we'll help trace the line.
