COWBOYS FROM VOCA
“Texas’ famed Prison Rodeo stars”
“are tame compared to the”
“old-time cowboys from Voca”
Here is an old Rodeo Piece. It is a little yellowed with age but in good condition. The story entitled “Cowboys from Voca,” by Stella Gipson Polk with photos furnished by Wayne Spiller, Voca, Texas. The author says this is a story of Ed Spiller and other cowboys who rode horses when they went places, who rode horses when they stayed home, and who always rode on the lookout for deviltry. Stories of the days of the old Rodeo that the author says was much tougher than even the Texas Prison Rodeos. Tells of the days when the 101 Ranch Wild West Show came to Brady, Texas in 1910,
OLD RODEO MEMORABILIA IS RAPIDLY
Here’s one of ‘em.
Following my retirement, I have dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the Genealogy of our western pioneers. During my research, I discovered that thousands of our kinfolk lay unfound and unrecognized on some book dealer’s shelf. Because Old Western History and Memorabilia was printed before computer indexing, I index every item I sell.
Humbly, I am trying to keep our old rodeo history alive.
I hope you appreciate the effort.
