Green DetailsDetails ReviewsReviews Bill Pickett urged his horse forward chasing after the speedy steer. Like an acrobat, Pickett jumped onto the steer’s back, grabbing it by the horns. In the same motion, he twisted the steer’s neck up and bit its upper lip with his teeth. Instantly, he had the steer on the ground as the crowd roared in delight. Bill Pickett invented this exciting event, known as bulldogging. Despite the racism he faced as an African-American cowboy, Pickett entertained rodeo crowds around the world. Authors William R. Sanford and Carl R. Green explore the life of this courageous rodeo superstar.Publication Date: 07/01/2012Copyright: 2013Pages: 48Trim Size: 5 1/2 x 8 1/4Illustrations: Illus. with black-and-white illustrationsGrade Level: 5–9Age Level: 10–14LC Number: 2011037682Lexile: 780ATOS Reading Level: 4.9ATOS Points: 1Quiz #: 153105AR Interest Level: MGDewey: 791.8 For Reluctant ReadersFormatsFormatISBNList PriceDiscount PriceLibrary Bound Book978-0-7660-4001-4$24.60$18.45eBook978-0-7660-4376-3$24.60$18.45 "These short biographies will pique the interests of young readers looking for an exciting history lesson."Library Media Connection, May/June 2013 Loading… Other books in Courageous Heroes of the American West 12 Loading… Other books from the authors 12345 Loading… eBook: 978-0-7660-4376-3 List Price: $24.60 Discount Price: $18.45 + Add to wish list Library Bound Book: 978-0-7660-4001-4 List Price: $24.60 Discount Price: $18.45 + Add to wish list Please log in Log in or register to create a wish list.
