For #CowboyDay this book has been in my #TBR stack for a while now. Hawaiian cowboys are paniolos & the woven hats they wore are called “papale.” 🌺
pickAnother great addition to this series. Fairly obvious who done it, but fun anyways.
pickI found this engaging even if it didn‘t live up to its title. The focus was almost solely on the competition in the 2004 season and some of the behind the scenes happenings in the PBR. That was enough for me especially with the theme being a wily old veteran vs a pack of upstarts. The book didn‘t delve much into the subculture around the sport in terms of quirky fans, groupies, or questionable food. Respect to the riders who are tough as hell!
so-soThis book shared lots of interesting facts and side stories but lacked cohesiveness despite being an audiobook that lasts a mere 6.25 hours.I think it‘s poorly titled as it was almost all backstory…the 1908 Cheyenne Frontier Days competition is barely covered until the last hour or so. This book was more a mix of the history of wild cattle and paniolo in Hawaii, Hawaii‘s annexation, and the history of rodeos and the Cheyenne Frontier Days.
