Author Gail Woerner used her life-long association with the rodeo
world to research and write a history of this paradoxical
profession that requires a laugh-getter dressed in baggy britches
and wearing a clown face to put his life in jeopardy to protect
cowboys from the dangerous Brahma bulls, and sometimes death. All
aspects of the world of the rodeo clown are included -- how the
profession began, comedy acts created by the rodeo clowns, the
animals they trained so masterfully, the evolution of the
profession. Other aspects include bullfighting, development of the
barrel, injuries which are a part of the job, frustrations in
organizing, a cowboy clown's role in the world of rodeo, how
sponsors changed the profession, how specialized the bullfighter
has become and today's fearless funnymen. Information has been
gathered from hundreds of rodeo clowns, bullfighters and barrelmen,
plus interviews with wives, sons and daughters, friends and
co-workers. Included are more than 700 rodeo clowns, their
hometowns along with the years of performance. Other information
includes honors and awards given these hilarious risk-taking
heroes.
