Elaine Kramer, Roman Rider
That's Elaine smiling with delight next to her star at the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame in Fort Worth, Texas! In October 2005 she became the first Wisconsin resident to be inducted to this prestigious group of 176 women "who shaped the West, and changed the World." Elaine Kramer's story will be permanently preserved and displayed in the National Cowgirl Museum.
