A cowboy, frontiersman, soldier, and mercenary who roved through the American West, Patagonia, and South Africa before finally settling in Wales, he thrilled turn-of-the-century Wales with tales of his exploits. His deep identification with Wales animated his popular adventure novels and works of history, offering a vision of the Welsh as an inherently masculine and martial people, ready to lead the British imperial enterprise. At the same time, Rhoscomyl was a deeply flawed man, paying for his rough life in poverty, delinquency, and violence. This biography delves deeply into his life and career, painting a picture of a life of vaulting ambition, real achievement, and bitter disappointments. The Owen Rhoscomyl who emerges here, while not always admirable, is never less than thrilling. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Wales Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47890225299607,"sku":"9781783169498","price":824.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781783169498.webp?v=1781179167","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/owen-rhoscomyl-9781783169498","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
