Fannie Sperry Steele took a lifelong fascination with horses and turned it into a rodeo career that included winning the title of World Champion bronc rider and headlining as a sharpshooter. Before she retired from rodeo, Steele and her husband organized their own Wild West show and a stock company, and toured the country. When she finally left rodeos behind, Steele went back to Montana to operate a guest ranch, guiding visitors into the Rocky Mountain wilderness until well into her seventies.
