Roy Rogers was an icon for millions of children all over America. His image was plastered on all sorts of toys and clothing all throughout the 1940's and 50's. He and his wife Dale Evans inspired every kid to be a cowboy when he/ she grew up. Before starring in hundreds of Western films, he was an accomplished singer in "The Sons of the Pioneers," one of the best known groups singing songs of the Old West.
Roy and Dale dressed in western attire for the remainder of their lives, living up to the image they portrayed on the screen decades earlier. This was one of the first pictures I ever sent out, and is a little rough as far as quality, but I was thrilled to get an autograph from the King of the Cowboys!
