Produktinformationen zu „Ruth-Less (ePub)“
Ruth Parton is a part of the local history that no-one seems to know about, largely because her extraordinary abilities were displayed on the road. She literally gave up family, friends, and a home to be a successful horsewoman. Her direct descendants have provided old family ranch journals, as well as artifacts and archives of her life. The rodeo life had just begun, and initially the women competed with the men. Ruth was acknowledged as the World Champion Relay Racer from 1914 thru 1917. By the 1930's thoroughbred horse racing was growing at established tracks on the west coast. Ruth Parton excelled at that sport as well, winning 45 races at Longacre's in 1945 and 26 wins with a horse named Cyclonic. Ruth was the first woman to be issued a Thourobred Trainers license. She was Native American. Her lifetime included the woman's right to vote, Prohibition, World War One, the Great Depression, the repeal of Prohibition, and World War Two. She was inducted into the Cowgirl Hall of Fame in 1988 and the Thoroughbred Racing Hall of Fame in 2019. Both forms of horse racing have evolved over time, but Ruth Parton was at the ground level beginning of what is truly an American sport today.
Autoren-Porträt von Scott Robertson
Scott Robertson is not an author by trade. He is a retired sixty-four year old garbage man with a lot of real life experiences. This is his fifth fiction book. While all five books are fiction, they are based on real events that the author has experienced himself, or he has obtained them first hand from friends that experienced them directly. He is an avid history buff, and attempts to include accurate time period information in his stories. The Parton heirs had boxes of old farm receipts, journals and pictures that he poured through. As an example, Ruth Parton's mother, Sarah was left handed. The author determined this because the farm journal in the 1880's began at the rear, and came forward by date. The pen would have been an ink pot quill, and a left handed person moving from the front would smudge the wet ink with their hand. Those little discoveries truly were fun. I wish I could have known them in person. Please enjoy RUTH-less. If my "style" calls to you read; Right Foot Down!, Rat A Tat Tat, Taco!?!?!, and STAN SAYS.
