The Case Of
The Vitagraph Holmes
In the episode "A Scandal in Belgravia", from the BBC "Sherlock" series Mycroft Holmes informs us Sherlock wished to be a pirate while growing up. It is Howard Ostrom's theory that, while a modern day TV Sherlock wanted to be a pirate and became a consulting detective; the first Sherlock of film, a consulting detective, wanted to be a cowboy...and actually became 'THE Cowboy.'
