Happy Birthday!

The rodeo cowboy who introduced bulldogging,

Bill Pickett

was born 12/5/1870
(d.4/21/1932)

         Old Bill Pickett was a mighty black man
          And he rode for the One-O-One
          Way down yonder in the Cherokee Land
          Around when the West was won
          He'd jump a steer from a runnin' hoss
          And throw him down with a mighty toss
          He worked for many, but he had no boss
          He's the last of the great cowhands
