Frank Buck (animal collector)

Frank Howard Buck (March 17, 1884 – March 25, 1950) was a hunter and collector of wild animals, as well as a movie actor, director, writer and producer. He is known for his book ''Bring 'Em Back Alive'' and his 1930s and 1940s jungle adventure movies including: ''Wild Cargo'', ''Jungle Cavalcade'', ''Jacare, Killer of the Amazon'', many of which included staged "fights to the death" between formidable beasts.
==Early life==

Born in Gainesville, Texas, Buck grew up in Dallas and excelled in geography, at the cost of "utter failure on all the other subjects of that limited Dallas curriculum."〔''Current Biography 1943'', pp84-88〕
While still a child, Buck began collecting birds and small animals, and tried farming before getting a job as a cowpuncher. Accompanying a cattlecar to the Chicago stockyards, he refused to return to Texas, and spent the rest of his active life earning income by various jobs while seeking adventure. During 1911, he won $3,500 by a poker game and decided to go overseas for the first time, leaving his wife and traveling to Brazil.〔''Current Biography 1943'', p86〕 Bringing back exotic birds to New York, he was surprised by the amount of his profits. He traveled then to Singapore and after that many other places.
During 1901 the 17-year-old Buck, a captain of bellboys at the Virginia Hotel in Chicago, married Amy Leslie, 46-year-old drama critic for the ''Chicago Daily News''. Amy Leslie was living at the hotel when they met. They were divorced in 1913. During 1914, Buck married Nina C. Boardman, a Chicago stenographer, who accompanied him on jungle expeditions.
