The final book in the Happy Family series, I believe, it followed the adventures of Chip & Della's grown son at a Chicago rodeo. It was adapted into the silent film <i>King of the Rodeo</i> starring Hoot Gibson, who had played the title character in a silent version of <i>Chip of the Flying U</i> a few years earlier.<br /><br />I must admit that the rodeo is one element of the West that I'm not quite cut out to enjoy. I've never been able to watch bull-riding in particular, although the 'safer' sports like cutting and roping <i>are</i> interesting.Elisabeth Grace Foleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02073159989691222645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434602314756730550.post-47478878744816236302011-03-14T10:51:57.118-07:002011-03-14T10:51:57.118-07:00Rodeo got a lot bigger in my home town in the earl...Rodeo got a lot bigger in my home town in the early 80s, which is after I'd already graduated and gone. I've seen quite a few in my day though and generally enjoyed them. I never wanted to be a bull rider though.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.com
