Heartwarming early biography of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans
This is a fine early biography of Western stars Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. It describes each one's personal and professional struggles, (Roy as a cowboy actor of growing popularity who maintains a close family life; Dale as a divorced teenage single mom who rises through the show business ranks as a singer and actress). Once they appear together in the movie, "The Cowboy and the Senorita", Roy and Dale have real chemistry together, and become a team. And later,when Roy, a widower with young children, asks single mother Dale to marry him, she accepts.

Problems occur when Roy's small children refuse to accept Dale as their new mother. Dale's grown son Tom --who has happily accepted Roy as his new dad-- attempts to resolve the situation by encouraging Dale to take the young children to church and Sunday School. Tom has found it helpful in his own life, and has the same hopes for his mother's situation. When Dale starts bringing the children to church, their lives begin to turn around. And not long afterward, when Roy and Dale's daughter, Robin, is born with Down syndrome, this faith becomes the light which sees them through their difficulties.

I loved this book. There are many wonderfully detailed vignettes of Roy and Dale's professional and personal lives: their wedding; their family life; their many friends; their show tours: the writing of Dale's book about Robin, "Angel Unaware", and the blessings that this book gave to other people; their compassionate visits to sick and crippled children; and their integrity which extended even to the products associated with their names, (Roy refused to have his name on any shoddy or dangerous products). And, above all, there is the legacy of their Christian witness: Roy and Dale not only read their Bible, they lived by its teachings. They really were good guys. ... Read more

Awesome Job, On a book well written*
Hey I think your book absolutly rocks!
I loved looking at all the interesting old things that were around when my mom was younger. All the colorful pages, and pictures really grabbed my attention while looking through the book. I loved seeing all the different prices for all the different items you have in your book. It really makes me see that old things really do have value. Even if you don't know much about Roy Rogers, this book takes you through his life so that you will have a better understanding of him and who he was.
I'm 13 so I don't really like to take the time to look through a book and read it from cover to cover. But this book really interested me with it's humor, pictures, facts, and stories.
If you are at all interested in learning, studying, or collecting Roy Roger things I strongly suggest that you read through this book. It will greatly help you to know what Roy Roger things are valuable.
