Aloha Rodeo: Three Hawaiian Cowboys, The World's Greatest Rodeo, And A Hidden History Of The American West

"Let’s get this out of the way: I highly recommend reading Aloha Rodeo during a Hawaiian vacation. You’ll find yourself noticing things you may have otherwise overlooked, such as the 130-year-old cattle ranch you pass on your way up Haleakala Volcano and the rocky terrain that paniolos (Hawaiian cowboys) navigated on horseback just across from where you take a surf lesson. But even if you find yourself reading it from the mainland, when it comes time for the paniolos to face off against the top American rodeo stars in Wyoming, you won’t be able to help but root for the underdogs."
