Tex Terry, far right, alongside fellow villain Glenn Strange. Glenn became famous for his role as the monster in the early Frankenstein movies and later was a regular on tv's Gunsmoke as Sam the bartender at the Long Branch Saloon.

Tex gave hundreds of autographs in his lifetime. Here, cowboy pal Irene has added a photo and name cut from a magazine to her hero's signature.

Sunset Carson on his horse and Tex with hat in hand join the rest of the boys as they seem to be asking:  " Just what are you lookin' at, fella ? "

At his home in Mansfield, Indiana, Tex lashes out at a brave volunteer while demonstrating his whip skills.

John Merton confronts Sunset Carson while holding a trigger happy Tex Terry at bay in "Oregon Trail", released in 1945. Note that this movie is not the same as "The Oregon Trail", 1958, in which Tex's character, Brizzard, used a whip instead of a gun.
