I'll admit that I don't know a whole lot about him as a war hero. only what I've read. As far as an actor goes, he was never a favorite of mine. If I made up a list of my favorite Western actors, he's be so far down on the list that by the time you got to his name, you'd be tired of reading.
Having said that, I've watched a number of Westerns, when there was nothing else worth watching on, and I didn't have a good book to read at the time.
