Bill Pickett: Rodeo-Ridin' Cowboy
Probably no other black cowboy has been as celebrated as Bill Pickett. A rodeo star, he has been honored with a postage stamp and has been the subject of a handful of books, includingBill Pickett, Bulldogger: The Biography of a Black CowboyandGuts: Legendary Black Rodeo Cowboy Bill Pickett. Add to that list the children's bookBill Pickett: Rodeo Ridin' Cowboyby Andrea Pinkney. No matter how you feel about rodeo, it's hard not to admire Pickett, who was known to bring an unruly steer to its knees by taking a bite out of the animal's upper lip.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
