Happy Trails: A Pictorial Celebration of the Life and Times of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans

More than six decades have passed since Roy Rogers and Dale Evans first rode the celluloid range together, yet they continue to be loved and admired in a way few–if any–celebrities can claim. They co-starred in twenty-nine motion pictures and recorded more than 200 albums together, and they brought their talents to television in the 1950s, entertaining a large audience with The Roy Rogers Show.

Happy Trails shares intimate photographs of the lives and fifty-six-year partnership of this famous couple, both on and off the screen. From their first singing jobs to their successful film careers, the photographs chronicle the duo’s early struggles and slow rise to stardom. On the home front, their faith was constantly tested by the struggles in their personal lives. Roy’s first wife died, leaving him with three children to bring up alone. After Roy and Dale were married, their two-year-old daughter died, a second daughter died in a tragic accident, and a son died suddenly overseas. The family photographs show the family’s steadfast faith and endurance during tough times and their love and warmth during happier times, when the children were very young and their parents were not only superstars, they were “Mom” and “Dad.”

Winners will be chosen on Thursday, December 31.

How the West Was Worn: Bustles and Buckskins on the Wild Frontier: Fashion that was in vogue in the East was highly desirable to pioneers during the frontier period of the American West. It was also extraordinarily difficult to obtain, often impractical, and sometimes the clothing was just not durable enough for the men and women who were forging new homes for themselves in the West. Full hoopskirts were of little use in a soddy on the prairie, and chaps and spurs were a vital part of the cowboy’s equipment.

How the West Was Worn: Bustles and Buckskins on the Wild Frontier: examines the fashion that shaped the frontier through short essays; brief clips from letters, magazines, and other period sources; and period illustrations demonstrating the sometimes bizarre, often beautiful, and frequently highly inventive ways of dressing oneself in the Old West.
