The Real Wild West - The 101 Ranch and the Creation of the American West (Paperback)

Founded in Oklahoma in 1893, the 101 Ranch created one of the most exciting and influential traveling rodeo shows ever to tour the country. Featuring countless cowboys and cowgirls, including such Western legends as Buffalo Bill, Geronimo, Will Rogers, and Bill Picket, it was only a matter of time before the 101 Ranch caught the glittering eye of Hollywood.

From the legendary cattle drives along the Chisholm Trail to the origins of the mass entertainment industry, Michael Wallis masterfully reveals the enthralling history of not only the 101 Ranch, but also the last days of the American Frontier.
