"The True Story of Hidalgo" Frank Hopkins claimed to have led one of the most exciting, challenging and colourful lives in the late nineteenth century. No one rode more miles, eluded more danger, or befriended more famous people than he did.

Yet an exhaustive academic study led by Basha and CuChullaine O'Reilly, Founders of The Long Riders' Guild, revealed that Hopkins had maintained a spirited disregard for the truth, plagiarized material from famous authors, slandered genuine American heroes and perpetrated a massive fraud for nearly one hundred years.

In spite of these findings, the Walt Disney company persisted in claiming that the film Hidalgo was "based on a true story."  Click on the History Channel logo to buy a copy of the DVD of the History Channel programme, or click here to read more about The Long Riders' Guild search for the truth.
