Description: Signed by co-author, See photos. Very good condition! In 1933, widowed Mattie Brinson Bragg arrived in Colorado Springs looking for opportunities for her seven children who were crowded midst all the family's worldly belongings in the back of their uncle's dust-covered, open-air truck. No one could ever have imagined that one of those youngsters from the backcountry of Depression-era Oklahoma would grow up to work for a Russian Count, pressure the city manager to give her a business license, persuade a wealthy white socialite to lend her $3000 for a business venture, and stand up to the admonitions of a tough police chief who warned her to stop "mixing colors," but that's exactly what happened. As a result, Fannie Mae Duncan peacefully integrated the city of Colorado Springs to the musical accompaniment of the top black artists of the day at her Cotton Club. Her formula for success?
