I have always been fascinated with the West:
cowboys, western music, rodeo and so on.
I was asked why these pictures are in
our "Gallery" and it's just because I thought I'd
like to share some of what
I've collected. The rodeo photos are mostly by Ralph R.
Doubleday, pioneer rodeo
photographer from the Round-Up
at Belle Fourche, SD.
