Some History;
Ken Maynard was Western Movie Star who
turned his back on the movies and made appearances at state fairs and rodeos. Ken Maynard bought a lot of circus equipment from George Christy and started a small circus operation featuring rodeo riders, but eventually lost it to creditors. His substantial wealth had vanished, and he lived a desolate life as an alcoholic in a rundown trailer. During these years, Maynard was supported by an unknown benefactor, long thought to be Gene Autry.
