Cheyenne Frontier Days Images of America Starley Talbott Linda Graves Fabian Books Reviews

• Great to read about the people and events that my wife has been telling me about for all of our married life.
• I enjoyed this pictorial history of the Cheyenne Frontier Days. I grew up near Cheyenne and attended this Grand Daddy of Them All. I loved the early photos of the first rodeo, and the many others. I got a good feel for the heritage of this great old west celebration.
• I like to read about history, but sometimes I don't have the time/desire to read a full treatise about a given subject. Such was the case about Cheyenne Frontier Days, "The Daddy of 'Em All." This book provides a concise history of the world's biggest rodeo. The photos speak volumes. If you're looking for a brief history of Frontier Days, this is your book.
  
  That said, although I thought the history as presented through photos and text was solid, the reason I gave this book 4 stars was because I would've liked to have seen just a bit more text to more thoroughly, yet still concisely, flesh out the history. Still, it's a great read if you want to learn about Wyoming's premier rodeo event.
• What a wonderful book! I grew up in the Cheyenne area and as a youngster went to Frontier Days many times. The photos and descriptions brought back so many wonderful and exciting moments of my childhood. I highly recommend this book, especially to anyone who has ever gone to Frontier Days and relived the feelings of the old west. Anyone thinking that it might be a really fun experience for a summer vacation would also enjoy the book. Good Job, Starley and Linda. Well written, and it is certainly accurate, at least to my memory.
• I have attended Frontier Days many times and the next time I go I will look at it with fresh eyes! It is so interesting to learn the history behind the event. My son had the privilege to sing at Frontier Days so I can't wait to share this book with him too. The authors did an awesome job and I am looking forward to a Cheyenne Frontier Days II. Thank you for such an interesting glimpse into days gone by!
• What a refreshing pictorial history of the greatest outdoor rodeo ever. My family and I have visited Cheyenne every year for the past two decades just because of this rodeo. We loved picking the book up last year and learning not only the history of the event but seeing some of the best photos ever. I highly recommend this book.
• Cheyenne Frontier Days is a shallow attempt to cover the history of this event in pictures. There is little or no original research, with most data coming from other sources. There is a misleading inference that a person named was a justice on the Wyoming Supreme Court, which is not correct. Overpriced.
