"The Fight at Buckskin," by Clarence Edward Mulford, in Outing Magazine, December 1905. . Clarence Mulford's fictional character Bill "Hopalong" Cassidy appeared in a series of cowboy adventures. He was shot in the leg in a gunfight and walked with a limp, earning him the derogatory nickname "Hopalong." Schoonover modeled Cassidy on a cowboy with a shortened left leg who he met while traveling in the West to research illustrations for Mulford's stories. |
