Rodeo is a cornerstone of the Western experience and this book is an invaluable chronicle of one of the veterans of that tradition. The Sheridan-Wyo-Rodeo's span of the better part of the 20th century and continuation into the 21st is documented here by author and Rodeo Board member Tom Ringley with complete details of its conception, birth and its growth into a nationally respected professional event. This is the rich history of the organizers, the participants and spectators and the community which supports this treasure of the West. With its accompanying appendices of the Champions, Queens, Rodeo Boards and Stock Transactions this book offers the true story of the trials and tribulations, the triumphs and successes of a formidable undertaking which began in 1931 and continues today.

Saddlestring: A History of the HF Bar Ranch

Saddlestring: A History of the HF Bar Ranch is a major contribution to the annals of Western history. Rich in detail from historical source material including photos and artwork, this significant historical work chronicles the evolution of one of the oldest dude ranches in the West and presents an intriguing cast of characters involved with the ranch over a span of nine decades. This book is a must read for anyone interested in Western history.

<p>Some know Turk as a champion bronc rider, one of the very few to ride the notorious Midnight and then Five Minutes to Midnight, who was eventually inducted into the National Cowboy Hall of Fame and the Western Heritage Center. Others seem only to remember his short marriage to Sally Rand, the well known fan dancer. Western Movie fans may still recall his movie stuntman work with the likes of Roy Rodgers, Gene Autry and John Wayne but Turk Greenough's story encompasses more than any one of these events and in When the Whistle Blows they all come together, interwoven to make the whole cloth of his extraordinary life.</p>

WRANGLIN' NOTES, A Chronicle of Eatons' Ranch 1879-2010

"There is an allure to Eatons' Ranch that can't be explained." So begins the Foreword by the Ranch's current general manager Jeff Way and what he says has proved true for generations of Eaton family members, dudes and employees. One can't help but wonder if Howard Eaton, at the age of just seventeen, and the first of the Eaton brothers to go west in 1868, had any inkling of the enduring legacy they would eventually build and how many people down through the years would share a part of their dream. At Eatons', one of the oldest dude ranches in the West, you can still mount a horse and freely roam the Ranch's 7200 acres at the foot of the beautiful Big Horn mountains. The pleasures you experience will be little changed from the Ranch's earliest days as you follow the same trails traveled by generations of Eatons' guests. Author Tom Ringley has followed the historic trail of Eatons' itself, and of the many people who have played such a large part in its fascinating history. Filled with stories, photos and archival tidbits from the Ranch's own Wranglin' Notes newsletter, Tom's chronicle tells the complete story of this unique enterprise over the last 131 years and helps us understand the truth of Jeff's words: "Remember, once you are a guest here, you are always a part of Eatons' Ranch.
