About this title

Synopsis

Cowboys, Roughriders and Rodeos covers everything there is to know about rodeos, riding and cowboys-from when the first horses came, the bushman's carnivals and the wild west shows through to women rough riders and rodeo events as they are today. This work is a treasure trove of stories of great athletes, unsung heroes, rogues and villians and it will appeal to the conservative country person as much as the urban hipster.
