Synopsis
The working cowhand of old was a dusty laborer, but today's rodeo performers can hone their skills before small-town crowds and be stars in urban coliseums.
Historian Kristine Fredriksson follows the evolution of rodeo from the range to Buffalo Bill's Wild West to the extravaganzas in modern times. How an ordinary, low-paying job became an entertainment that attracts thousands of spectators is a lesson in American culture and a story that will appeal to anyone who spells "western" with a capital W.

From Library Journal
Though once solely the realm of good ol' boys, rodeos, like country music and cowboy boots, have gone mainstream. This 1985 volume offers the first historical account of the rodeo as organized entertainment. Fredriksson traces the evolution of the rodeo from cowboys' pastime to Buffalo Bill Cody's mass crowd pleaser to today's million-dollar industry. This "entertaining and informative work" ( LJ 1/85) might find a wide audience in 1993.
