Fame, Glory, and Pretty Women

Rodeo takes the stage in this broadcast, created in 1992, looking at the Burwell Rodeo as an extension of life on the Nebraska Prairie. The 60-minute documentary includes the recollections of men born before the Battle of Wounded Knee, who recall the days when Burwell's rodeo was one of the top three in the country. These recollections describe the evolution of Sandhills ranching since before the turn of the century, reflecting on the changes taking place in the community and rodeo.
