Synopsis
As a child, Ken Kesey heard the story of the "last go round" at the Pendleton Roundup in 1911, where three cowboys rode for the first world broncobusting prize: George Fletcher, a popular black cowboy; Jackson Sundown, a Nez Perce Indian; and Jonathan E. Lee Spain, a white kid from Tennessee. Kesey, along with Ken Babbs, has turned this legend into a novel that includes characters such as Buffalo Bill Cody, Frank "the Crusher" Gotch, Prairie Rose Henderson, a medicine man named Parson Montanic--as well as 16 pages of photographs from the era.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "It was a picture of you, mater of fact, on the front page of an Oregonian sports section."
Industry Reviews
"'The Lonesome Prankster' goes galloping back down a century of sunsets and chases some splendid characters out of the dim arenas of the past. I loved it."
Larry McMurtry
"Chuckwagon full of insider rodeo dope and good old-fashioned horse-and-rider mini-adventures--In some circles, I believe this is referred to as a rootin' tootin', rip-snortin' good time."
McMurtry
