Will Rogers

Will Rogers was Oklahoma's beloved native son, a modest, unspoiled child of the Plains who became a cowboy, actor, humorist, and world traveler. His homely philosophy and superior gifts brought laughter and tears to prince and commoner alike. His aversion to sham and deceit, his love of candor and sincerity, and his abounding wit and affable repartee won him universal homage and the title "Ambassador of Good Will."
