Now Bill and Evelyn Wright, parents to 13 children and grandparents to many more, find themselves struggling to hang on to the majestic landscape where they've been running cattle for 150 years as the West is transformed by urbanization, battered by drought, and rearranged by public-land disputes. Could rodeo, of all things, be the answer? In a follow-up to his first book, New York Times reporter John Branch delivers an intimate family story deep in the American grain. Filled with scenes of ranch life and the high drama of saddle-bronc competition, The Last Cowboys chronicles three years in the life of the Wrights, each culminating in rodeo's National Finals in Las Vegas. Will Bill and Evelyn be able to hold the family together as rodeo injuries pile up and one of their sons goes off on a religious mission? Will their son Cody, a two-time world champion, make it to the finals one last time -- and compete with his own son? And will the younger generation -- Rusty, Ryder, Stetson, and the rest -- be able to continue the family's ways in the future? 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 630 00 $a Wright family. 650 0 $a Cowboys $z Utah $v Biography. 650 0 $a Ranchers $z Utah $v Biography. 650 0 $a Rodeo performers $z Utah $v Biography. 650 0 $a Ranch life $z Utah. 650 0 $a Frontier and pioneer life $z Utah. 651 0 $a Utah $x Social life and customs. 651 0 $a Utah $v Biography. 650 1 $a Cowboys $z United States $v Biography. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x Rural. $x Rural. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SPORTS & RECREATION $x Rodeos. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Cowboys. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00881986 650 7 $a Frontier and pioneer life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00935370 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 650 7 $a Ranch life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01089735 650 7 $a Ranchers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01089749 650 7 $a Rodeo performers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01099561 651 7 $a Utah. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204563 655 0 $a Biographies. 655 4 $a Nonfiction. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l YMPD532 $d 20210809110943.0 $m 791.8 BRA $n 10 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2C5470F6AC3311EB98A411E3203FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
