Download or read book African Cowboy written by U. D. Abdulkareem and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Bappa decided to forsake his adventurous children, Ribado and Halimah, for what is regarded as a rebellious attitude against the traditions and cultures of their society, he threw himself into a vicious circle. Bappa had never thought of there being something else that is better than his cows in this world. He thought that any other job or business should be done as an alternative of survival in the absence of cows; he is one of the richest cowmen in his community, and he is happy only if his cows are satisfied, healthy, and secured. But Bappa had been living a polygamous life. He abandoned his first wife, Demmo, and her three children, Jauga, Ribado, and Halimah, and they are left struggling together in abject poverty. Ribado and his younger sister Halimah are merely teenagers, yet wise and spirited. They fight against all odds to get education, something prohibited and a taboo concept in their society; in the process, they face numerous challenges and persecution. African Cowboy author U. D. Abdulkareem illustrates the terrible effect of illiteracy and greed and the power of education and perseverance.
Download or read book The American Cowboy written by Joe B Frantz and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2016-02 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cowboy, America’s most popular folk hero, appeals to millions of readers of novels, histories, biographies, and folk tales. Cowboys command a vast audience on country radio, television, and at the movies, but what exactly is a cowboy? Authors Joe B. Frantz and Julian Ernest Choate, Jr., reveal the real, dyed-in-the-wool cowboy as a heroic being from the American past, who richly deserves to be understood in terms of reality, instead of myth. Here, then, is the definitive portrait of the American cowboy—in frontier history and in literature—reexamined, revitalized, and set in the proper perspective. Many exciting accounts of cowboy life have been presented by such talented writers as J. Evetts Haley, J. Frank Dobie, Wayne Gard, Walter Prescott Webb, Edward Everett Dale, Helena Huntington Smith, Ramon F. Adams, and C. L. Sonnichsen. But Frantz and Choate see the cowboy in relation to the entire panorama of western history and as part of a continuing tradition: “The American cowboy has carved a niche—niche nothing, it’s a gorge—in American affection as a folk hero, and in this role we have surveyed him.” The American Cowboy: The Myth and the Reality is illustrated with sixteen pages of the great cowboy photographs made more than a century ago by Erwin E. Smith.

Download or read book T o Cowboy written by Ricardo D. Palacios and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the best tie-down calf ropers ever to come out of South Texas, Juan Salinas grew up on a 15,000-acre ranch near Laredo, with the finest of horses to ride and hundreds of head of cattle to practice on. He roped in Texas rodeos large and small from the mid-1920s to 1935. From 1936 to 1946, he followed the national rodeo circuit, competing from Texas to New York's Madison Square Garden. At the time, few if any other Mexican Americans competed in rodeo, and Salinas drew a lot of attention. Salinas also operated his family's Texas ranch, where he ran cattle and raised prize roping quarter horses. In this account of his life and career, Salinas's nephew, Ricardo Palacios, recounts the many tales his uncle told him--tales of friendship with Gene Autry, going to Sally Rand's wedding reception, riding on the Rodeo Train, and sponsoring seven-time world champion tie-down calf roper Toots Mansfield. He also narrates life on the range, with his uncle riding across a pasture at full speed, gingerly holding the reins and a thirty-five foot coil of rope in his left hand while swinging the roping loop overhead with his right hand as he chased a three-hundred-pound calf for the throw. The story of Juan Salinas is also the story of the people of Mexican origin who live on the ranches of the South Texas brush country. Strong, rugged, independent, and hard-working, they knew social and economic success that has all too seldom been chronicled. Tio Juan was the family cowboy, the hero, the rodeo star, and Palacios tells his uncle's story with warmth and admiration. In 1991 Salinas was inducted into the Rodeo Hall of Fame of the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. He was also named Rancher of the Year by Laredo's Borderfest and won the Ranching Heritage Award given by the King Ranch and Texas A&M-Kingsville. In 1993, he was inducted into the LULAC International Sports Hall of Fame. These were, Palacios writes, "fitting tributes to a champion and fine additions to his collection of trophy roping saddles, silver trophies, and champion's buckles."
