Goodspeed Boys

After the death of their father in 1913, their mother married a widower who owned a farm near the Canadian River in Okfuskee County, Oklahoma. As soon as the boys were old enough, they sought careers training horses and participating in rodeos. All three went on to become champions in the arena. Read about their lives, their loves, and their passion for horses and rodeos. — Includes over 80 vintage photographs.
