Bookroo's summary

Bill Pickett grew up on the Texas range, where he learned to wrestle steers to the ground by biting their lips the way cattle dogs did. This easy-to-read biography follows how his daring trick became bulldogging, a new rodeo event, and how he rose to become the first Black rodeo star, performing across America and abroad.
