Summary

"This book documents the lives of a small community of Black rodeo cowboys in and around the rural town of Cheek, in Southeast Texas. The photographs are McKeon's; but the words, and the stories they tell, belong to the cowboys themselves. McKeon spent a good part of two years with these (mostly) men and their families, traveling to far-ranging rodeos, watching them train in backyard arenas, and hanging out in horse stalls, garages, and on front porches, asking naïve questions and listening to their stories, their histories, their life philosophies.These men suffer concussions, tear muscles, and break bones, courtesy of uncooperative livestock; and few will ever earn enough money inside the arena alone to keep the horses healthy and the truck filled with enough gas to reach the next rodeo. Theirs is not an easy life. But no matter what the week might throw at them, they know that the weekends will always bring family and friends, a cold beer or two, a little good-natured competitive trash talk, and at the center of it all, rodeo. Such is life for these rodeo cowboys, their families, and their community. A life according to rodeo"-- Provided by publisher.
