Trivia

In 1900, when she was just 14, Oklahoma farm girl Lucille Mulhall, was so adept at lassoing and roping that she was invited to compete at a Rough Riders reunion rodeo in the state capital. Teddy Roosevelt himself was in the stands and was dazzled when she nabbed first place (to the chagrin of her competitors, all male and all much older). Roosevelt told Mulhall’s dad that she needed to be touring, because the nation needed to see her. Source: GCT.com – The First Cowgirl
