Account of a year spent on the rodeo circuit
Dirk Johnson is the Chicago bureau chief for Newsweek magazine and a five-time winner of the New York Times Publisher’s Award.
"Detailing their triumphs and disappointments as well as their tragedies, Johnson brings these cowboys into the arena as, one by one, they fly out of the chute." Publishers Weekly "Johnson's book brings to life the reality of a year on the rodeo circuit so vividly you can feel the grit in your teeth. Presented in a journalistic style, this personalized account breaks through the romantic image to reveal the real thing; short vignettes and word pictures showcase the personalities, thoughts, and feelings of the competitors more graphically than illustrations. An evocative view of the American West as its traditions are lived today." Booklist
