Lucille Mulhall - Original Cowgirl

Roy of Perry, OK says, "You probably know where Mulhall, Oklahoma is (south of here near Orlando). Here's a bit of history concerning the family which lived there and the town is named for. There's even a "Lucille Cafe" there that's named for her."

Has anyone ever eaten at "Lucille Cafe?"

Anyway, here is the OK Moments dated December 13, 2010, for Lucille Mulhall - OK Moments. Lucille Mulhall was born October 21, 1885 in St. Louis, Missouri, to Zack and Agnes Mulhall, Lucille Mulhall is celebrated as the first cowgirl, an appellation bestowed by Teddy Roosevelt after seeing her ride at the Mulhall ranch. Legend has it that Roosevelt told her if she could rope a wolf, he would invite her to his inaugural parade. She came back three hours later dragging a dead wolf behind her.   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
