1940s these young men & women (real working cowboys-from farms & ranches) in Fannin County Texas.

In the 1940s these young men & women (real working cowboys-from farms & ranches)
in Fannin County Texas, along the Red River, would assemble at North Texas Rodeos
and perform on horseback for recreation.   

The sponsor;  front row right was the HONORABLE SAM RAYBURN, longtime Democratic Speaker of the House from Bonham, Texas.  A good number of these working cowboys went on to serve in the US Armed Forces around the world.  Some never returned to their beloved Texas & ranch life, others did.   Back row, extreme right is Ray Webb who later served the USAF at RAF Station Woodbridge in England from 1955-1957.
