Sobre IBD

The story of the cowboy strike in 1936 at the Boston rodeo is a well-known bit of rodeo history. It is also no secret that the Cowboys’ Turtle Association was the forerunner of the Rodeo Cowboys Association and today’s Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. But Gail Hughbanks Woerner charts new territory by telling the whole story about how professional rodeo got it’s start. From the men and women who were the pioneers to the behind the scenes struggles to keep the dream alive. 3
