Description
A photograph of a cowboy riding a bull in a competition held at the California State Fair. Wearing number five, the unidentified contestant seems to be connected to the animal by his right hand only but gamely hangs on to his hat. A crowd of men in work clothes and cowboy garb watch this rodeo which took place between July 18-22, 1930.
