In August 1908, three unknown riders arrived in Cheyenne, Wyoming, their hats adorned with wildflowers, to compete in the world's greatest rodeo. Steer-roping virtuoso Ikua Purdy and his cousins Jack Low and Archie Ka'au'a had traveled nearly four thousand miles from Hawaii, of all places, to test themselves against the toughest riders in the West. Dismissed by whites, who considered themselves the only true cowboys, the native Hawaiians would astonish the country, returning home champions - and American legends. An unforgettable human drama set against the rough-knuckled frontier, ALOHA RODEO, by Outside contributing editor David Wolman and award-winning author Julian Smith, unspools the fascinating, little-known true story of the Hawaiian cowboys, or paniolo, whose 1908 adventure upended the conventional history of the American West. 541 $d 20200922. 611 2 $a Cheyenne Frontier Days (Celebration) $c (Cheyenne, Wyo.) $x History. 650 $a Cowboys $z Hawaii $x History. 650 1 $a Rodeos $z Cheyenne $z Cheyenne $x History. 650 $a Ranch life $z Hawaii $x History. 700 $a Smith, Julian, $d 1972-, $e author. 941 $a 2 952 $l WHPE115 $d 20221004022357.0 952 $l KJPF566 $d 20210107011430.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=12DC41EA50B611EB8917A64E2AECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
