Rodeo action at the Cheyenne Frontier Days celebration in Wyoming's capital city.
The event is viewed by an estimated 200,000 onlookers, including throngs of tourists, each year in a city of 64,000 people. It includes this rodeo — one of the West's most celebrated — as well as American Indian pageantry, free pancake breakfasts, several Old West-themed parades, and other events. Cheyenne Frontier Days have been a mountain-states tradition since 1897. Original image from Carol M. Highsmith’s America, Library of Congress collection. Digitally enhanced by rawpixel.
