Thank you, Jerry! I really enjoyed this video about my favourite cowboy when I was a little girl. My good friend's father used to drive a bunch of us kids to Hollywood to the "Hitchin' Post" Theater (I was the only girl in the group of neighborhood boys!) where we could eat popcorn and watch Westerns which starred Tom Mix, Dan Duryea, Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, Hopalong Cassidy, Gabby Hayes, Johnny Mack Brown, et al. It's been so many years ago, my memory fails me now, but those days in which I grew up (the 40's) were just the greatest! I love all your videos! 🤗💕
He was my mother's great uncle. My mother's maiden name was Mix before she married. I'd love to talk with you on here if possible, maybe trade stories. :) It's such an honor to come across another person who has a connection to him. :) I hope you have a good day.
When I was very little in the mid '40s, I had listened to the Tom Mix radio shows and recall asking my mom why the shows stopped, not knowing that he never actually appeared on them. This documentary was very helpful in filling out a curiosity I've carried all these years. Thanks, Jerry Skinner ...... . I seem to recall that the show was sponsored by Kix breakfast cereals, one of my favorites.
How about a documentary on Narrator Jerry Skinner himself?! I for one would like to know how he became the documentarian that he is, after enjoying a number of his great documentaries, that he's done on a variety of gifted famous people and individuals of historical significance.
@@martinmalloy8119 P.I. meaning Private Investigator, I presume?! That would be an appropriate line of work since it must involve some investigative skills to uncover facts, data, and information for these great documentaries, Jerry Skinner does, huh?! Somebody gotta do it.
Another home run Jerry, what a documentary! Just when you think they can’t get any better, you do another one. I was born in 1937, and watched every Tom Mix movie there was. He was my idol as a kid. I never knew how flashy he was. Thanks Jerry, you are amazing my friend. Please keep em coming. I’m gonna watch this one again and again. Augie and Jill Blase🤠
My daddy loved Tom Mix and he grew up in the depression also. Every Saturday we all watched cowboy movies on TV while daddy passed out pieces of a big Hershey chocolate bar to all four of us children. I still like good cowboy movies, especially when there's not cussing in them. If daddy were alive he would've really liked your video. Thank you! ❤
I live in Tucson and frequently drive by the monument on highway 79 on the way to Mesa. The locals say he stopped in the town of Catalina just before the highway 79 turnoff and had a few drinks. It’s easy to believe because you can see a long way ahead on the road where the accident occurred because it’s flat with nothing to block your view and it happened in broad daylight. Also he was driving at a high rate of speed. One other thing, the video said he did all of his own stunts. But my in-laws were good friends back in the 60’s with a man who did many of his stunts. His name was Henry Ware. He lived in Santa Cruz, CA in his later years.
Wow. I remember attending the Tom Mix Festival in DuBois a couple of times back in the 80's and driving out to Mix Run, there meeting a man named Raymond Flaugh (spelling may be off) who was the local, unofficial Tom Mix "expert". He gave the distinct impression that propagating the memory of the great man was his life's purpose.
Jerry, Mix's life was pure Americana. Another great video about a larger than life American. Thanks for all the work you do for these bios, they are gems!
This was a great video on the life of Tom Mix. It answered a lot of questions I had about this man that the family would never talk about. In fact, whenever his name came up my grandparents and great grandparents would change the subject with a scoff. I remember seeing the picture of the" mansion " hanging in my grandfather's garage in San Diego, but never knew where it was or what it was about. It would not surprise me to know that it ended up in the Tom Mix Museum after my grandparent's death over thirty years ago. Ruth Mix was spoken of with great affection, but Tom Mix only avoidance. I think it was due in part to the fact that he deserted the Calvery and went into hiding. I don't think the family ever forgave him for that no matter how famous he became. Tom Mix was just a name from my grandfather's past that he would never talk about. Now that I am retired from a lifetime of Muli-media production I would like to know more about this famous actor with my family name. Thanks' again. Dan Mix- Mix Media Studio.
From the Beverly Hillbillies: "We'd like to live next to Tom Mix out there in California." " I'm afraid Mr. Mix is no longer with us." "Oh, that's right, he got shot at the end of that last movie." Jed talking with Mr. Brewster.
The Fawcett company, publisher of the best selling Captain Marvel (Shazam!) comics, produced a lot of comic book series with the many famous western star that were popular in the late 1940's and early 1950's (William Boyd/Hopalong Cassidy, Gene Autry, Monte Hale, Rocky Lane, Tex Ritter, etc.). They also published a very successful TOM MIX WESTERN series that lasted for 61 issues from 1948 to 1953 (when Fawcett decided to shut down it's comic book publishing section). It was one of their longuest running western series. Only the HOPALONG CASSIDY had more issues published with 85. But the thing is, that Bill Boyd/Hoppy was at the height of his popularity when his comics were being published, as he was still a major film and tv star. A sure sign of Tom Mix enduring legacy is that, when Fawcett started to publish the TOM MIX WESTERN comic book series in 1948, the silver sceen cowboy had been dead for 8 years! And the series was still selling strong 13 years after his death. The only reason Fawcett stopped publishing comic books in 1953 is because of the bad reputation comics got at the time (when crime and horror comic books dominated the market) and became under the scrutiny by the US government.
I enjoy your storys so much. Some a smile, some a tear, but in the end, we all can take a lesson from the lives of others. My mom saw Tom and Tony in 1924 in St Paul Minn.
My Dad went to the theater on Saturdays and watched his movies for years. He and Gene Autry were his favorite 'movie cowboys'... RIP Dad, Tom Mix and Gene Autry! Thank you Jerry for this wonderful presentation!
Wow! Just found this documentary. My Grandfather, Garfield Jones was a mortician in Florance AZ. He passed away in 1954, and very well could have taken care of Toms body after the car accident. Thanks for the wonderful documentary. I occasionally wear my Tom Mix black cowboy hat that was made by the Stetson company to area Rodeos. Thanks again Jerry !
Trivia: The Germans entered 'TOM MIX' into their enigma enciphering machines as the daily message setting prior to sending it to the receiving enigma , apparently Tom Mix was a cinema favorite in Germany before WW11.
Ride high in the sky, Mr.Mix!! I remember watching re-runs of his movies while growing up. I knew about him being a pall bearer at Wyatt Earp's funeral, but had no idea that he himself had died so tragically. Excellent work as always, Mr. Skinner! :-)
We visited the Tom Mix Museum in Dewey, OK, several years ago. It was fascinating, especially the movie about his life. Thanks for sharing and keeping his memory alive!
Thank you so very much Mr. Skinner..I pray that your Christmas was joyous and packed with family and friends that made your holiday the best ever. Happy New Year to you and your's and may it be prosperous in every way.
@@JerrySkinner1943 Thank you!Your videos are interesting, intriguing and entertaining. Combined with your narration just captivate the imagination. It’s like watching and listening to a really good book
Thanks AGAIN Mr.Skinner i found a Tom Mix autographed photo in an antique shop in Ponchatula La. for $5 years ago and still have it ..Take care and God bless Mr.Skinner
The Tom Mix Homestead and Museum, is within spitting proximity to my mountain cabin, and in an area considered to be the most isolated in the Commonwealth; a.k.a. "out in the sticks"....
I don’t think the lil museum is there anymore. I’ve done Indian relic collecting and research all through the area. I probably pass your cabin on my travels!
Years ago DuBois, Pa. (a small town close to Mix Run) used to sponsor what was called "The National Tom Mix Festival." The old timers who lived in the town would tell you Tom was actually run out of DuBois. He was scheduled to perform a kiddie show at the old "Avenue Theater" on W. Long Avenue and showed up for the performance drunk.
Jerry I love your Documentaries. Very well put together and also you pick some of my favorite people threw history ! Thank you you have a great voice as well .
Mr. Skinner ur video's r so fun and interesting. Frankly, no matter who ur videos r on, i enjoy them. Ur voice, ur relaxed, thorough descriptions r great. Thanks. May Gid continue to bless you.
Thanks for doing a story on Tim Mix, I also have never seen any of his movies, but only short takes of them. But I have heard of him since I was a little kid, it seems he was friends with my grandmother who has long ago passed away.
I still cannot help from being sad that another superstar, such as Mr. Mix, was unable keep from having so many wives. I feel bad for the children. Good documentary, Jerry.
I always find your videos interesting, and very informative, filling in vast gaps in “general knowledge”. I’ve HEARD of Tom Mix all my life, very nearly 69 years, but that was about it!
Thank you for making this video, I am a big fan of Tom Mix and there is not alot of pepole that talk about Tom Mix these days so I appreciate the video👍
Wow this is the first time I’ve seen a good picture of Tom. Thank you for that and for another lovely informative video. I know you work hard on these videos. 🙏 thank you for everything!!💕💕
He did not stand up before dropping dead-the impact of the crash sent flying into the back of his neck the large aluminum suitcase seen in this video, which broke his neck. This is why the suitcase was found on his neck, as he was face down. One does not stand up with a broken neck, and somehow position a suitcase on the back of one’s neck, afterwards. He is still greatly missed 80 years after his passing-that says it all. :)
I have been to Tennessee Jerry I think with my mom and brother at first and then went back to take when my mom worked she had to take a little woman to her daughter I love tennessee and you will to got a lot of fun stuff.
Thanks for this video. I am related to Tom Mix, on my grandmother's side but didn't really know anything about him, other than that he was an old western movie star.
Great story of his life. I thought he owned a ranch or property in Newhall, CA where his horse, Tony, is buried but no mention is made of Newall so must be another cowboy. RIP Tom Mix.
I have been at where he died on R 79 meany times IT IS MARKED REAL GOOD this is the spot his spirit left his body .he was a big spender in Tuscon he loved showing off

Tom Mix was my friend Jason Gun great grandfather. His grandmother Thomasina Mix, she lived in Waiheke Island, New Zealand in the 1990's
He was my mother's great uncle. My mother's maiden name was Mix before she married. I'd love to talk with you on here if possible, maybe trade stories. :) It's such an honor to come across another person who has a connection to him. :) I hope you have a good day.
Jerry, as has been the case for quite some time.... you have once again produced an excellent documentary! Your work is appreciated by many! Thanks!
You are correct, Sir!!
Wow, I don't know if anyone in this generation could even know or remember Tom Mix. This video is so amazing to briefly highlight Tom's life.
When I was very little in the mid '40s, I had listened to the Tom Mix radio shows and recall asking my mom why the shows stopped, not knowing that he never actually appeared on them. This documentary was very helpful in filling out a curiosity I've carried all these years. Thanks, Jerry Skinner ...... .

I'm watching cause my Pastor used to say my brother looked like Tom Mix! ☺
Well we all remember the name of his horse, It was Cement.

Great suggestion, Gary!!
I wonder what
Jerry Skinner thinks about (& is hopefully doing) that !?
Great idea, isn t he working as a P.I.
I concur!!

He was a skilled horseman and deserved every penny he ever made. RIP, cowboy.
Great video Jerry. At the end of the movie Tombstone, they mention Tom weeping at Wyatt Earp funeral!

I often ride my motorcycle through Mix Run Pennsylvania. There is a sign there stating the birthplace of Tom Mix.
I have never seen a Tom Mix movie, but I've heard or read his name countless times through my life. Time to look for a movie I think. Great vid BTW
Find Tom Mix movies on RUclips. Just key in Tom Mix into the RUclips search bar. You will be glad that you did.
@@tomcaldwell5750 Did that found heaps, thanks.
Tom mix gave John Wayne his first job in movies
I have read that his high pitched voice was considered unsuitable for talkies hence that shortened his career in film and radio.
I was hiking at that wash yesterday- didn't know how he died so I watched this. Sometimes RUclips is incredible.
You are well loved Jerry. Because you do such great work. You should win some awards. Plus much much more. For your awesome work.
