Rodeos presents a fascinating history of this Western American institution, from its rugged beginnings on the ranch to today's very lucrative professional circuits. This book captures the mystique of the cowboy and his place in Western folklore, from the early days when groups of cowboys from neighboring ranches met to settle arguments over who was the best at performing ranching tasks to the multi-million dollar prizes and endorsements awarded to professionals today. Experience first-hand the energy, electricity, and exhilaration of the rodeo through stunning colour photography and vintage illustrations that tell the stories of these courageous and athletic rodeo characters, and highlights of important moments throughout rodeo history.
