{"product_id":"9781783169498","title":"Owen Rhoscomyl","description":"\u003cbr\u003eOwen Rhoscomyl (1863–1919) seems like a figure out of legend. 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  ","brand":"University of Wales Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47057097195760,"sku":"9781783169498","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781783169498_p0.jpg?v=1763722567","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781783169498","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
