This photograph shows Marjorie "Margie" Roberts, (1916-1982), born in Council Grove, Kansas she later moved with her family to Strong City, Kansas. On her parent's ranch she assisted her father and brothers in training and breaking horses. These skills provided the backdrop for a career as a rodeo performer. At the age of thirteen Marjorie signed a contract with the Clyde Miller Wild West Show to begin her career. During practice one day she created a trick later called the "dive" in which she stood in the saddle and leaned forward over the neck of her horse. She latter incorporated this trick into her performances. In 1939, Marjorie joined the Clyde Miller all-girl rodeo where she competed in saddle broncos, bareback, and bull riding. The following year, 1940, Marjorie won the Ladies' Bronco Riding World Championship in Cheyenne, Wyoming. From the 1930s through the 1950s she became one of the top women competitors in the field. Marjorie retired in 1953 from the rode circuit but continued to work with horses until her passing on April 23, 1985 at the age of sixty-five. As a lasting tribute to a true trailblazer Marjorie was inducted into the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame in 1987 and the Kansas Cowboy Hall of Fame in 2017.
