Written with Ken Babbs, this is a fictionalised account of the 1911 Pendleton Round-Up in Oregon, a famous rodeo. It follows three riders who compete for the title of world champion: a Black cowboy, a Native American cowboy and a white cowboy. Around them are crowds, rivalries and the fading spirit of the old West. The book blends humour, tall tale and history, and looks at race and pride in the American frontier tradition.
