in June 1911, high-spirited Goldie St. Clair, Champion Lady Bucking Horse Rider of the World, rode with several other cowgirls in the Scranton, Pennsylvania, street parade to the rodeo grounds where the 101 Ranch Wild West Show was going to perform. A year prior, Goldie had captured the bronco riding title at the Frontier Days celebration in Cheyenne, Wyoming. She rode an outlaw horse named Red Bird, that did some terrific bucking but was unable to unseat her.
