The Last of the Wild West Cowgirls: A True Story

One of our country’s first professional female athletes, Goldie Griffith didn’t know how to ride when she got a job with a famous Wild West show, but she didn’t let that stop her. She joined the small group of show cowgirls and learned to bust broncos for Buffalo Bill. She also was an actor and stunt rider for the brand-new Western movies that were taking the country by storm. She was married during a Buffalo Bill Wild West show at Madison Square Garden with a crowd of 8,000 in attendance. A few years later, she pulled out her show gun, aimed it at her husband, and squeezed the trigger. After he exited her life, she worked on what is now the famous Caribou Ranch in Colorado, trained dogs for the war, and opened a number of restaurants in Nederland, Colorado, to support herself and her young son.
There was nothing she wasn’t willing to try. This is the (amazingly) true story of Goldie Griffith's life. With over 120 photographs and images. A 2009 WILLA Literary Award finalist.

Eleanor Parker had just graduated from college when she hopped on a train and traveled across the country to work for a summer at the Horseshoe Inn in Rocky Mountain National Park. She wrote home almost every day, and these letters and Eleanor's journal are the basis of this lively account of the young adventurer's summer that was filled with moonlight horseback rides, dancing in the casinos, visiting other lodges, and hiking to waterfalls. Includes photographs and maps of Eleanor's hikes and rides, many to the long-gone historic park lodges and all to landmarks and sights familiar to today's park visitors.
