Let 'er Buck!: George Fletcher, the People's Champion
Description
From the moment George Fletcher falls in love with horses, his life is shaped by skill, grit, and a deep sense of fairness. When he is wrongfully denied victory at the 1911 Pendleton Round-Up, the crowd’s outrage turns his setback into a public stand for justice—earning him the title of “people’s champion.” Through Fletcher’s story, this book explores the collision of talent and prejudice, the power of community to challenge injustice, and the ways ordinary people can become symbols of change. Written with Vaunda Micheaux Nelson’s engaging, accessible storytelling, it brings history to life while honoring the resilience behind one unforgettable moment.
