'''Clarence Hailey Long, Jr.''', often known as '''C. H. Long''' (January 9, 1910 – June 29, 1978), was the rugged [[Texas]] [[cowboy]] sensationalized as the original "Marlboro Man." Long, then foreman of the [[JA Ranch]], was catapulted to national attention in 1949, when ''[[Life Magazine|LIFE]]'' [[magazine]] published a series of Leonard McCombe [[photograph]]s on [[ranch]]ing in the American West. Long was the basis of the popular Marlboro [[cigarette]]s [[advertising]] campaign in the 1950s and 1960s for Philip Morris International, but other models followed through 1999.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.life.com/Life/lifebooks/100photos/gallery/5.html|title=|publisher=''[[Life Magazine)|LIFE]]'' [[magazine]]|date=August 22, 1949}}</ref>

Long's tenure at the JA partly paralleled that of [[Tom Blasingame]], known as the oldest cowboy in the American West, having died at the age of ninety-one in 1989, after having worked in ranching for seventy-three years.
