History of
North Dakota Rodeo Told Through Photographs Local
author pens new book on North Dakota’s best-known
rodeos |
|
|
The
newest addition to Arcadia Publishing’s popular Images of America series is North
Dakota Rodeo from local author Cathy A. Langemo. The book boasts more
than 200 vintage images and memories of days gone by. Rodeos
have been around in what is now North Dakota since the early cattle drives
brought cattle and ranching to the Northern Plains and Badlands. The horse
culture was there much earlier, as Native American tribes used horses for
transportation and hunting. Simpler than modern events, early-day rodeos
offered a Sunday recreational activity after six days of hard work. Today’s rodeo is much different than in the late 1800s and brings out a diverse audience—not just cowboys, cowgirls, and ranchers but also city slickers, families, white- and blue-color workers, and first-time visitors to the state and country. Highlights of North Dakota Rodeo include:
