So thanks to me postponing getting a bunch of cinches ready to take and sell next weekend, it is now 10:38 p.m. on Sunday night and I haven't posted a word about Bertha Kaepernik Blancett! But it IS still the weekend!
So I am going to make it short and sweet and come back to fill in all the details in the next post...
Basically, Bertha did it all and she IS an ALL-AMERICAN BAD A!
She was born on September 4, 1883.
She worked for several different shows; including Pawnee Bill's Historic Wild West Show, Miller Brothers 101 Ranch Show, and the Atkinson Show.
In 1909, Bertha Kaepernik married Del Blancett, they had no children over the course of their marriage.
She competed and is known for several appearances at both the Pendleton Round-Up and Cheyenne Frontier days.
Bertha rode bucking horses 'slick',
performed in shows and Hollywood productions,
competed in the Roman Race,
hazed steers for her husband,
worked as a pickup rider,
and in her later years ran a pack string!
She lived to be 95 years old!
So until later, here is a little bit to prepare you for what is to come.
I knew you couldn't handle all of it with the details at one time, it is an overwhelming amount of awesomeness!
