King
of the Cowboys
by Ty Murray, Steve Eubanks
Book Description: The most famous rodeo champion of all time tells
his amazing true story -- and opens a fascinating window into the world
of the professional cowboy.
Ty Murray was born to be a rodeo star -- in fact, his first words were
"I'm a bull rider." Before he was even out of diapers, he was climbing
atop his mother's Singer sewing machine case, which just so happened to
be the perfect mechanical bull for a 13-month-old. Before long, Ty was
winning peewee events by the hatful, and his special talent was obvious...obvious
even to a man called Larry Mahan. At the time the greatest living rodeo
legend, six-time champion Mahan invited a teenaged Ty Murray to spend a
summer on his ranch learning not just rodeoing but also some life lessons.
Those lessons prepared Ty for a career that eventually surpassed even Mahan's
own -- Ty's seven All-Around Championships.
In King of the Cowboys, Ty Murray invites us into the daredevil world
of rodeo and the life of the cowboy. Along the way, he details a life spent
constantly on the road, heading to the next event; the tragic death of
his friend and fellow rodeo star Lane Frost; and the years of debilitating
injuries that led some to say Ty Murray was finished.
He wasn't. In fact, Ty Murray has brought the world of rodeo into the
twenty-first century, through his unparalleled achievements in the ring,
through advancing the case for the sport as a television color-commentator,
and through the Professional Bull Riders, an organization he helped to
build.
In the end, though, Ty Murray is first and foremost a cowboy, and now
that he's retired from competition, he takes this chance to reflect on
his remarkable life and career. In King of the Cowboys, Ty Murray opens
up his world as never before.

Queens and the American Dream
