Giddy Up, Partner! Rare Snapshots of Roy Rogers’ Cowboy Chronicles!
The Humble Beginnings
Roy Rogers, originally Leonard Slye, started life in a Cincinnati tenement on November 5, 1911. Born to Andrew “Andy” Slye and Mattie Womack Slye, his early days were spent in the very spot that would later host Riverfront Stadium.
Picture little Roy toddling around the future home of the Big Red Machine! Soon after his birth, the Slye family packed up and hit the road, embarking on a journey that would eventually lead Roy to Hollywood stardom. Who knew a cowboy legend could spring from such modest roots?
