Full description for Cowboy Sweethearts

  • Read the true stories of eleven women who married prominent men of the rodeo. Some stayed at home to run ranches, work outside the home, and raise children, while others went with their husbands on the rodeo circuit. A few were rodeo participants, themselves. Get a glimpse of rodeo life from the days of camping out in tents and sending telegrams to the age of traveling in luxury horse trailers with built-in living quarters and talking on cell-phones. Read about Vicki Herrera Adams, Margaret Hart Deakins, Jo Ramsey Decker, Decie Nowlin Goodspeed, Jackie Smith McEntire, Donna Casity McSpadden, Cleo Crouch Rude, Linda Ament Russell, Nell Truitt Shaw, Michelle Smith West, and Cassie Loegel Whitfield. Includes over 80 photographs (in black and white), plus a Table of Contents and Index. // REVIEWS: "Get to know the world of the wives of rodeo cowboys--their ups and downs--their joys and pains. What a delightful journey through this slice of an unique American lifestyle!" ~ Sandy Shropshire, Moore Public Library (FIVE STARS) // "As a library director, I highly recommend this book for high school students and adult readers. It is well written and very interesting. The photographs of each of the women add much to the text." ~ Desiree Webber, Director of the City of Mustang Library (FIVE STARS)
