"In Along Came a Cowgirl, New York Times best-selling author Chris Enss introduces you to the world of early rodeo--and to the stories of the women whose names resounded in rodeo arenas across the nation in the early twentieth century. These cowgirls dared to break society's traditional roles in the male dominated-rodeo and trickriding world, defying all expectations. With the desire to entertain crowds and a lot of grit and determination, they were able to saddle up and follow their dreams!"--Goodreads.
