Publisher's summary

"A whimsical, firsthand account of a very unique life from a bygone era"

Step back in time to the early days of cinema, when stuntmen were considered expendable, and many paid the ultimate price to bring theater goers the thrills and chills that kept them coming back week after week!

Joe Bonomo, "The Hercules of The Screen", was a pioneer stuntman and action star in the silent era of film. This is Bonomo's own account of his fascinating life, which could have easily been the plot of one of the nail-biting adventure films that Bonomo starred in during his days in Hollywood.

Fans of physical culture history will also find much of interest in Bonomo's story, as he was also one of the most famous strongmen of the early twentieth century.

Originally published in 1968, this edition includes a new introduction by professional stuntman and performing strongman Todd Ryan Jones.
