Enthusiasts of rodeo won't want to Missgreasepaint Matadors: The Unsung Heroes Of Rodeo, a guide to the rodeo clowns who put themselves against huge bulls to protect their riders from inquiry. They aren't the show-stoppers but often they are the most important in rodeo bullfighting, and this provides extensive interviews with many great rodeo clowns who have decades of experience in the business. Black and white photos pack the account and compliment some lively narratives.

WOW! Having the unique opportunity to meet several of the subjects of this book has given me a unique opportunity. This book shares the countless road stories and "founding fathers" of the sport. from the pain and anguish of being run over by a 2,000 pound animal to the joy of entertaining a crowd of thousands, it's all part of the life. A must-have coffee table book for anybody with even the smallest intrest in professional rodeo. Excellent photos!!

This book tells the history of rodeo clowns, with their travels and achs and pains of rodeoing. Good book to have even if you are remotely interested in rodeo clowns. Very well written.
