6869X1 First Edition (Limited to 5,000 casebound copies. Twelvetrees Press, Pasadena: 1985. Pages are unnumbered. Hardcover, no dustjacket. Very good condition. A look at an institution through photographs that is more than a mere sentimental remnant of a cowboy culture that never really existed, at least in the form in which our imagination has created it. From a cultural point of view, the rodeo can be looked at as the theatrical repetition of the ancient, original conquest of the animals - not by hunting and killing, but by a more efficient process: the imposition upon the herds of a stubborn and courageous human will.
