Let 'Er Buck

"Let 'Er Buck: A Story of the Passing of the Old West" is a vivid and spirited chronicle of the legendary Pendleton Round-Up and the closing era of the American frontier. Written by explorer Charles Wellington Furlong, this work captures the high-octane energy of the rodeo, celebrating the grit and skill of the cowboys, Native Americans, and pioneers who defined the cultural landscape of the Pacific Northwest.

Through detailed accounts of bronco busting, steer roping, and the vibrant pageantry of the arena, Furlong provides an immersive look at the traditions of the West as they transitioned from daily survival to a celebrated national sport. The narrative goes beyond mere athletic competition, exploring the ethos of the "Old West" and the iconic figures who kept its spirit alive in the early 20th century. Furlong's observations offer a vital historical window into the lives of those who participated in the Round-Up, documenting a unique moment in American history where the rugged lifestyle of the open range met the spectacle of public performance. "Let 'Er Buck" serves as both a thrilling sports narrative and a significant cultural record of Western identity, courage, and heritage.
