Charles Wellington Furlong’s monumental bestseller Let `Er
Buck, an account of the now famous Pendleton Round-Up–complete
with fifty of Furlong’s famous pictures, was first published in
1921 to educate the “blasé, effete, lily-livered youths” of America
about the values of an “honorable physical contest”–the rodeo. Out
of print for over eighty years, it has at last been resurrected in
this stunning Overlook reproduction, entirely faithful to Furlong’s
original, and beautifully photographed, outdoor epic.
Each fall in Pendleton, Oregon, there is great carnival that
epitomizes the most dramatic phases of the pioneer days of the
West–and its spirit. There the real, practical work of the trail,
cowcamp and range is shown through the sports of the pioneer.
Recalling a phase of Americana that has all but passed, here is the
work and life of the Old West, eternally engraved upon the
escutcheon of our history.
The epitome of the great human virtues with which the West was
replete–courage, daring, belief in work, love of play, optimism,
and, above all, that balance-wheel of life–humor. Furlong’s
classic is a unforgettable piece of the story of our American
past.
