In the spirit of The Boys in the Boat comes the captivating true story of the Hawaiian cowboys who changed rodeo and the West forever. In August 1908, three unknown riders arrived in Cheyenne, Wyoming, their hats adorned with wildflowers, to compete in the world’s greatest rodeo. They had travelled 3,000 miles from Hawaii, where their ancestors had herded cattle for generations, to test themselves against the toughest riders in the West. Dismissed by whites, who considered themselves the only true cowboys, the Hawaiians left the heartland as champions - and American legends. David Wolman and Julian Smith’s Aloha Rodeo unspools a fascinating and little-known tale, blending rough-knuckled frontier drama with a rousing underdog narrative. Tracing the life story of steer-roping virtuoso Ikua Purdy and his cousins Jack Low and Archie Ka’au’a, the writers delve into the dual histories of ranching in the islands and the meteoric rise and sudden fall of Cheyenne, “Holy City of the Cow”. At the turn of the century, larger-than-life personalities like “Buffalo Bill” Cody and Theodore Roosevelt capitalized on a national obsession with the Wild West and helped transform Cheyenne’s annual Frontier Days celebration into an unparalleled rodeo spectacle, the “Daddy of ‘em All”. A great deal rode on the Hawaiians’ shoulders during those dusty days in August. Just a decade earlier, the overthrow of Hawaii’s monarchy and forced annexation by the US had traumatized an independent nation whose traditions dated back centuries. Journeying to the mainland for the first time, the young riders brought with them the pride of a people struggling to preserve their cultural identity and anxious about their future under the rule of overlords an ocean away. In Cheyenne, the Hawaiians didn’t just show their mastery of riding and roping, skills that white Americans thought they owned. They also overturned simplistic thinking about the “Wild West”, cowboys-versus-Indians, and the very concept of cattle country. Blending sport and history, while exploring questions of identity, imperialism, and race, Aloha Rodeo brings to light an overlooked and riveting chapter in the saga of the American West. Read more

In 1955, the AP thrummed with the news of Lulu Bell Parr's death. The incongruity of her final years as a pauper in a shack with her time as a Wild West star could not be ignored. Then, she was forgotten. Nearly fifty years later, small town history buffs stumbled upon her unmarked grave and set out to give her the recognition she deserved. They raised over seven thousand dollars, erected a monument on her grave (with a parade through town and celebration), and then went on to have her inducted in the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame.The biography "I Ain't Afraid" - The World of Lulu Bell Parr, Wild West Cowgirl details how Lulu was foisted off on relatives as a girl, not educated, married at nineteen, and by twenty-six, divorced and living over a print shop in backwater Steubenville. But she could ride horses. Hired by Pawnee Bill in 1903, she went on to have one of the longest careers among Wild West performers. She worked for all the heavy hitters - Buffalo Bill, the 101 Ranch, Zack Mulhall, and more. She did not stop until her fifties when the Depression changed everything. Parr dazzled audiences of royalty and the poor alike as a sharpshooter, trick rider, and bronco rider. She worked alongside the top cowboys, cowgirls, and performers - including Princess Wenona, Bill Pickett, and Geronimo. Married at least four times, her briefest marriage -three days- was to Charley Mulhall, Zack's son.This is a factual biography, tapping into standard and newly available resources as well as those directly involved in resurrecting and preserving Lulu's history. It also has a number of illustrations, several from Lulu's private collection which have not previously been published. The hardback and paperback versions of the book include illustrations, several from Lulu's private collection which have not previously been published. Read more
