Gail Hughbanks Woerner
Image not available Rank: 514739
Until this one, no book has covered the full evolution of rodeo into a
major American sport. The cowboy's horse was always a necessity for trail
drives and ranching, so early on, at informal gatherings, the breaking of
horses drew cowboys and townsfolk alike as spectators.
In the later part
of the 1800s, more formal events began to develop, but they were few and
far between. It wasn't until the twentieth century that they took on a
more formal style, with a regular schedule of events and rules.
Woerner
presents the full story from the earliest days through the era of Buffalo
Bill and right up into the present day. The names and backgrounds of the
major competitors, promoters, and even famous bucking horses are all
covered.
As the title indicates, the book concentrates on the premier
event of bronc riding, without mention of the other events such as bull
riding and roping.
Filled with many historic photographs. Fred
