Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Examining with a historian's flair two dozen selective rodeos throughout the Great Plain states and beyond, Stratton traces their origins, focusing as well on the "movers and shakers" who give each rodeo its unique personality. Wranglers, Roughstock, and Paydirt, when I was age fifty (in part, to engage in an activity that my father - who had been an amateur rodeo cowboy while in his late teens and early twenties - could share with me), Stratton, at age fifty-one selectively travels the rodeo circuit searching for a connection with a father whom he barely knew.
