Description
Before there were rodeo queens, audiences in the first decades of the 1900s were thrilled by the exploits of rough riding belles of the rodeo. The Prairie Rose persona represented one of those belles. But who was Prairie Rose? This well-researched book explores the mystery around the Prairie Rose persona and debunks the long-held idea that Prairie Rose was just one woman. Contains photos, end notes, and an extensive bibliography.
