Book Description
Recounts McGinty's exploits on the battlefield and later on the stage. It contains his firsthand account of how he began cowboying at fourteen and went on to become a world champion bronco buster. After the Spanish-American War, he performed in Buffalo Bill's Wild West show and won the Cowboy Hall of Fame's Great Westerner award. Yet his colorful career has remained largely untold - until now.

An absolute must-read for fans of true-life American West exploits, tales and legends. August 10, 2008
Oklahoma Rough Rider: Billy McGinty's Own Story is the firsthand testimony of Billy McGinty, a veteran cowboy whose horsemanship served him well as one of Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders. He participated in the battle of Las Guasimas, the attack on San Juan Heights, and the siege of Santiago; later, he performed in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show and won the Cowboy Hall of Fame's Great Westerner award. Editors Jim Fulbright (a former broadcast journalist) and Albert Stehno (a rancher and historian) enhance McGinty's writings with comments on historical context, and a summary of McGinty's later years when McGinty promoted the McGinty Cowboy Band and saw to it that their music - a precursor of modern-day country-western - could be heard on live radio. An absolute must-read for fans of true-life American West exploits, tales and legends.
