Rodeo
By Tuttle, W. C.
Step into the dust and din of a 1920s rodeo, narrated entirely through the rapid-fire patter of a wisecracking arena announcer. As steer riders and bronc busters take their turns—and their tumbles—the announcer fields questions from the crowd, ribs the contestants, and delivers running commentary laced with frontier humor. W. C. Tuttle's inventive monologue captures the spectacle, slang, and rough-edged camaraderie of the American rodeo circuit in a single breathless voice. A vivid slice of Western Americana from the golden age of pulp fiction.
