To the fan, the rodeo cowboy is the distinctly American embodiment of the romantic Old West. But to the young men who live the profession, the realities are modest pay, continuous travel, and the constant threat of injury. While he was the Denver bureau chief of the New York Times, Dirk Johnson spent a year on the professional rodeo circuit with cowboys, watching them try to hang on to bucking horses and Brahma bulls?and to wives and livelihoods that seemed only one fall away from disappearing. Biting the Dust covers the circuit?s biggest events in Denver, the capital of the New West, to small towns on the Great Plains like McCook, Nebraska, where rodeo continues to thrive even as the population shrinks. Johnson takes the reader beyond sentimental visions of the rodeo cowboy and the American West and provides an unforgettable and authentic story of the rodeo today.

When someone says "Cowgirl Up!" it means rise to the occasion, don't give up, and do it all without whining or complaining. And the cowgirls of the early twentieth century did it all, just like the men, only wearing skirts and sometimes with a baby waiting behind the chutes. Women learned to rope and ride out of necessity, helping their fathers, brothers, and husbands with the ranch work. But for some women, it went further than that. They caught the fever of freedom, the thirst for adrenaline, and the thrill of competition, and many started their rodeo careers as early as age fourteen. From Alice and Margie Greenough of Red Lodge, whose father told them “If you can’t ride ’em, walk,” to Jane Burnett Smith of Gilt Edge who sneaked off to ride in rodeos at age eleven, women made wide inroads into the masculine world of rodeo. Montana boasts its share of women who “busted broncs” and broke ranks in the macho world of rodeo during the early to mid-1900s. Cowgirl Up! is the history of these cowgirls, their courage, and their accomplishments.

This book traces the history of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (NFR) from its inception through its 50th year: 1959-2008. Each year?s section contains a personal reflection from one of that year?s champions, a narrative wrap-up of the other events of that NFR, photos, and grids showing detailed results of each contestant?s performance in each round, to the extent possible. The book is published by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, which previously published (1998) a similar book, ?The Finals: A Complete History of the National Finals Rodeo,? about the first 40 years of the NFR (208 pages). Most of the material from the first book is reprinted in the second book, some of it updated and corrected ? especially, more complete and more accurate grids for the first 40 years. Approximately 48 pages of new material covering the 1989-2008 NFRs and the 50th anniversary celebration has been added for the new book.
