The Last Cowboys Book Discussion

Every Family Has a Story is the theme for the fall book discussion series at the Niobrara County Library. The series features books with a variety of family dynamics and Barb Baker returns to facilitate the series. Please call the library at 307-334-3490 or stop by to register and pick up the book.

Rounding out the series will be “The Last Cowboys : a pioneer family in the New West” by John Branch slated for discussion on Monday, December 6 at 6 p.m. For generations, the Wrights of southern Utah have raised cattle and world-champion saddle-bronc riders—many call them the most successful rodeo family in history. Now they find themselves fighting to save their land and livelihood as the West is transformed by urbanization, battered by drought, and rearranged by public-land disputes. Could rodeo, of all things, be the answer?
