Will Rogers used to say, “My ancestors didn’t come over on the Mayflower, but they met the boat.” Will was proud, button-poppin’ proud, of his Indian heritage. His father, Clement Vann Rogers, was a Cherokee senator and judge who helped to write the Oklahoma Constitution. Mary America Schrimsher Rogers, Will’s mother, descended from a Cherokee chief, easily mastered modern society, music, literature, etiquette and good humor. Trained by a freed slave to rope and ride, Will became a hard-riding Indian-cowboy. He rode the range and joined the long, dusty cattle drives from Texas to the Kansas rail heads. His physical prowess in precisely and expertly flipping heavy rope coils demonstrated his training, fitness and strength. And it was with that same deft touch with a lasso that he created a top vaudeville and cinema persona, “The Cherokee Kid."
