description: Many of the stars of silent western were young horse wranglers who left the range to make some extra money bulldogging steers and chasing Indians around arenas in traveling Wild West shows. They made their way to Hollywood when the popularity of the Wild West shows began to decline, found work in action-packed silent westerns, and became idols for early moviegoers everywhere.
