The History of Rodeo\n\nCowboy. Cattle. Horses. Leather. Dirt. Mud. Sweat. Blood. Guts. All of these words can only conjure up one image, one word. Rodeo. The word “rodeo” comes from the Spanish word rodear (to surround) and is pronounced “ro-day-oh”. Today it is a competitive sport in which riders display their skill in activities related to livestock raising, such as riding and roping cattle and horses. \nRodeo has come a long way from its roots in the 1860s and 1870s roundup camps when the annual roundup and branding of cattle encouraged informal contests among the working cowboys. These skills have a rich history tracing back to the great horsemanship traditions of the Spanish conquistadors. \nDuring the late 1700s and early 1800s, Spain held much of the land that is the American West. Established missions raised cattle for America’s flourishing market. The need grew for skilled horsemen to handle and manage the herds. Many of the men running the missions were of Spanish nobility, trained in skills of horsemanship and roping practiced in Spain for centuries. These skills were passed on to their workers, known as “vaqueros”. Once these lands were converted to privately owned ranchos during Mexico’s rule, the vaqueros found work running cattle and managing the rangelands. Even after the United States gained control in 1848, these vaqueros continued to work, alongside their American counterparts. \nThe ending of the Civil War, when cattle herds spread throughout the west, the numbers of American cowboys grew. Once or twice each year, cowhands rounded up the cattle on the open range and drove them through miles and miles of vast open land to various marketing centers (stockyards). There in celebration of their job completed, informal competition was common. Cowboys might issue challenges to each other to see who really was the best at cutting cattle or throwing a rope. Spectators would inevitably gather. \nTechnology arrives in the form of railroad stock cars, replacing the necessity of time-consuming cattle drives. Open rangeland becomes defined by barbed wire culminating in the dwindling demand for cowboy. Many cowboys had to seek a new way of making a living. \nThe first formal rodeo contest probably was held in Cheyenne, Wyoming in 1872. Between 1890 and 1910, rodeo emerged as public entertainment through various Wild West Shows and performances at Fourth of July celebrations and cattlemen’s conventions. \nNot until the first decades of the twentieth century did rodeo become recognized as a competitive sport. Annual stampedes, roundups and frontier day’s events attracted regional audiences and contestants through the West, often providing the only entertainment for miles. By the mid-1920's, with the help of early promoters, championship events at Boston Garden and New York City’s Madison Square Garden attracted nationwide focus. \nThe Rodeo Association of America (RAA), founded in 1929, combined a group of managers and promoters and structure to the rodeo. The RAA sanctioned events, selected judges and established purse awards and point systems to determine all-around champions. Since 1946, the organization has acted as the International Rodeo Association (IRA). \nUntil 1936, rodeo contestants themselves remained unorganized. Then an indomitable group formed the Cowboys Turtle Association (CTA) during a strike at the Boston Garden World Championship. The CTA’s goal was to offer cowboys larger purse awards, competent judges, uniform rules and regulations throughout the rodeo system for the safety of competitors and animals, and to protect their rights. The cowboys adopted the name “Turtles” because they were “slow” to organize, but had finally stuck their necks out for what they believed in. In 1945, the CTA became the Rodeo Cowboys Association (RCA), and was renamed in 1975 to the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA), located in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

The first time two guys on horseback got into a discussion of whose horse was fastest, there was a horse race.  Bet on it.\n\nIt's known that horses were raced (both chariot and under saddle) in ancient Greece in the Olympics, and the Greek author Homer wrote about chariot racing as part of the funeral games in The Illiad. So we're back to around 1600 BC or so.  There is evidence that the Egyptians may have had chariot races earlier than this.\n\nRiding races depended on having horses that were big enough and strong enough to carry a rider, which was probably not until around 2000 BC.

cowboys hardly roughnecked with indians, cowboys spent their days protecting their scalps, and their horses from horse-thieves and ambitious young indian males who syoel the horses to become more rich. indians considered horses as a form of money. when an indian male took a wilf, it was customary to give the girls family 5-10 horses if she was poor, if she was rich it can take up to 100 horses to ern the right to marry her, and if you did you must also be a brave warrior, with many Coups, horses, and brave deeds. etc. Cowboys were cow herders, they spent long months working on ranches and inbetween towns moving large herds of cows or horses to markets. some fights did occure between indians and cowboys but most of them were scrimishes. suprise attacks. etc. usualy the indians got the better end of the fight, and sometimes the cowboy got the better end of the fight. Most fo your "wild west" battles took place between Indians and United States Army. and them battles were more than mere scrimishes. they were long and bloody. sometimes the Army would suprise attack the indians and whipe out entire villages just because people wanted the land. but then you have some battles that came to a draw, some battles won and lost, some battles not all indians were killed, but imprisoned or forced onto reservations... these fight occured to the dissaperance of the buffalo, treaty breaking, to many encounters with white settlers, and a growing white american population, who wanted the lands the indians lived on. one battle in particular was the bloodiest of all the battles. Little big horn. Gen. Louis Armstrong Custar lead 3 army battlions numbering 400 men, agianst a force of 4000 warriors from two combined indian tribes... Souix and the Cheyanne... the most famous of these warriors, Red Cloud, Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, Big Foot, and many more lead the warriors. Gen L.A. Custar lost 2 battalions, one battlion lead by Maj. Reno was stuck in a smaller battle 3 miles from Little Big Horn, and was kept from advancing unto the battle, his battlion turned back and went back to their fort, while beign cashed by a band of warriors. Gen. L.A. Custar and his 2 remaining battlions all parised in the battle, they were completely whiped out no surviors. they only known white suvivour of the battle was a man known as Little Big-Man, who as a boy was adopeted and raised by the cheyanne after his wagon train was attacked and whiped out by Pawnee indians, only him and his sister survived.

Pedro Flores never claimed to have invented the yo-yo. It has been around since his childhood. Actually it was first patented in 1866 by James L. Haven and Charles Hettrich. Flores just popularized it, calling it yo-yo, manufactured and sold a lot in the US. Donald Duncan bought his company and introduces some innovations to the yo-yo.

Thomas Alva Edison (February 11, 1847 – October 18, 1931) was an American inventor and businessman who developed many devices which greatly influenced life in the 20th century. Dubbed "The Wizard of Menlo Park" by a newspaper reporter, he was one of the first inventors to apply the principles of mass production to the process of invention, and can therefore be credited with the creation of the first industrial research laboratory. Some of the inventions credited to him were not completely original, but alterations of earlier patents (most famously the light bulb), or were actually the work of his numerous employees. Nevertheless, Edison is considered one of the most prolific inventors in history, holding 1,097 U.S. patents in his name, as well as many patents in the United Kingdom, France, and Germany.

They were first created by Stephen Austin.  The first record of them was 1824.  Original to protect against Indian attacks.  Post Civil War they were divided into two branches one was to fight against Indians and the other became more of the law enforcement.  \n\nNow days they developed into more of bureau of criminal investigations.

In the 1870's and 1880's, tough Longhorn cattle were called "little doggies" with wary affection by the cowboys who herded them. The word "doggies" in the cowboy lyric " ... get along little doggies," stems from the African word kidogo, which means "a little something," or "something small." \n\nHow did this African word become part of the American language? Part of the explanation is that one in every five American cowboys was black in the 1880s, and much of what we think of as "cowboy culture" is rooted in African cattle herding. Some historians believe that the trail-driving practices of American cowboys (such as the open grazing of cattle) were based on the ways Fulani cattle herders in Western Africa had tended their animals for centuries. So, we should not be surprised to find African words as part of our cowboy culture. The word bronco (probably of Efik/Ibibio and Spanish origins) was used by the Spanish and by enslaved Africans to indicate the horses rode in herding cattle. Buckra, comes from mbakara, the Efik/Ibibio word for "white man," and buckaroo, also coming from mbakara. These words described a class of whites who worked as "broncobusters."
