Giddy Up, Partner! Rare Snapshots of Roy Rogers’ Cowboy Chronicles!
Early Struggles and Sacrifices
When Roy was still Len Slye, he attended high school in McDermott, Ohio. Despite being a bright student, he never made it to graduation. In 1927, the Slye family moved back to Cincinnati, where his father found work in another shoe factory.
Recognizing the family’s financial needs, Roy joined his father at the factory. Balancing work and night school proved too challenging, as he often dozed off in class. Eventually, he decided to quit his formal education, sacrificing his studies to support his family, which marked the beginning of his journey to stardom.
