Moon Handbooks Ecuador Including the Galapagos… door Julian Smith
3rd edition
Interesting book about the life of cowboys in Hawaii and the western/central USA. The Hawaiian historical parts made the book worthwhile. I am curious to visit the places mentioned on the Big Island. The US parts were a bit of a slog to get thru. Too much detail about non-important things such as the train ride West. The Rodeo in Wyoming is a highlight that the book ends with. Who will win the toughest events? This is another place that might be interesting to visit. I did not know about the Hawaiian cowboys and the Rodeo before reading the book for our book club.… (meer)
Solid audiobook, and I learned a lot. This is a quick read, but if you're remotely curious about the topic it's definitely worth it.
A short account of the history of cowboys in Hawaii and of three Hawaiian cowboys who competed in a famous rodeo in Wyoming in the early 20th century. I learned some things I didn't know, and the end, where we get some good descriptions of the action at the rodeo in question, was quite thrilling. This never quite pulled me in as much as I expected it to, but the subject matter was compelling enough for me to stick with it, especially as the book is fairly short. In the end, I am glad I read it.
