Autor

Caroline Cameron Lockhart, born on February 24, 1871, in Eagle Point Township, Illinois, was an American journalist, author, newspaper publisher, rodeo promoter, and rancher. She spent her early years on a ranch in Kansas and attended Bethany College in Topeka, Kansas, and the Moravian Seminary in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Though she initially pursued acting without success, Lockhart found her calling as a reporter, first for The Boston Post and later for the Philadelphia Bulletin. She also began writing short stories and, in 1904, moved to Cody, Wyoming, to write an article about the Blackfoot Indians. She decided to settle in Cody, where she wrote several novels, including "The Lady Doc," based on life in Cody. Lockhart became a significant figure in promoting the Western way of life, particularly in Cody. She was a driving force behind the Cody Stampede, an annual rodeo, and owned the Park County Enterprise newspaper, later renamed the Cody Enterprise. Additionally, she purchased a ranch in Dryhead, Montana, where she lived until 1950. Lockhart passed away on July 25, 1962. In 2018, she was inducted into the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame for her contributions to Western culture and history.
