Miles, 50, is bringing new attention to a subject that in recent years has been almost a dirty word in business schools: manufacturing.

Although the frontier echoed with violence, Walker favored adventure over fighting. Nearing his 50th birthday, he rode 800 miles from Santa Fe to Fort Leavenworth in an astonishing 23 days. The amateur naturalist was even interested in prairie dogs. On all fours he tried to capture one alive to obtain a study skin. A happy combination of luck, skill and attitude helped Walker to prevail over the wilderness; he died a proud and prosperous rancher...
