Everett Bowman
Everett Bowman (July 12, 1899 – October 25, 1971) was an American rodeo cowboy who competed from the 1920s to 1940s. During his career, he won the Rodeo Association of America (RAA) All-Around Cowboy championship in 1935 and 1937 and was second three times; he also won eight titles in individual disciplines. Bowman was involved in organizing cowboys, founding the first group for pro rodeo competitors, the Cowboys' Turtle Association (CTA), now known as the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA). From 1936 to 1945, he served as president of the organization. Bowman was inducted into the ProRodeo Hall of Fame in 1979.
==Rodeo career==
Bowman was born in Hope, New Mexico, and moved to Arizona when he was 13 years old; he also spent part of his youth in Texas. He joined the pro rodeo circuit in the 1920s: historian Michael Allen wrote that he started in 1924, while the Associated Press gave his debut year as 1925. According to the agency, he took up the sport after attending a Salt Lake City rodeo. In 1926, he won two disciplines and the all-around title at the Ellensburg Rodeo,〔 and finished second for the all-around title at the Pendleton Round-Up. The next year, Bowman won the steer wrestling title at the Ellensburg Rodeo for the second straight year, and finished tied with his brother, Ed, for the all-around title.〔 Bowman teamed with Jack Traynor to win a team steer roping world championship and set a single-run speed record that same year. In 1929, Bowman was the all-around champion at the Calgary Stampede despite not participating in the bronc riding discipline.〔 Bowman won his first RAA season championship in the tie-down roping discipline that year; he added a steer wrestling championship in 1930.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=ProRodeo Hall of Fame )〕
At the Calgary Stampede in 1931, he set the fastest-ever time for a calf roping run. Bowman won a third Ellensburg Rodeo steer wrestling title in 1932,〔 and earned an all-around victory at the Frontier Day event in Prescott, Arizona. In 1933, he claimed the RAA season steer wrestling championship for the second time.〔 The year 1935 was Bowman's most successful on the RAA circuit in terms of season championships. He was named All-Around Cowboy winner, and earned his third steer wrestling and second tie-down roping titles.〔 Bowman finished second in the All-Around Cowboy standings in 1936, but in 1937 won his second All-Around Cowboy crown in three years, along with his third calf roping title. That same year, he claimed his only season steer roping championship. In 1938, he won his eighth and final discipline title in steer wrestling, which was his fourth in that category;〔 Bowman finished second in the All-Around Cowboy standings, trailing Burel Mulkey at the end of the season by 87 points. He repeated his second-place finish in 1939. His career ended in 1943, with his final performance at New York City.〔
Bowman won rodeo's Triple Crown (three season championships in one year) twice; Trevor Brazile and Jim Shoulders are the only other cowboys to achieve this feat more than once. During his career and after his death, media members compared Bowman to baseball's Babe Ruth.〔 Fellow rodeo participant Phil Meadows credited him with doing "more to put the cowboy in good graces than any other man," calling him "a cowboy's cowboy."〔 In competition, Allen said that "timed events" were considered a strength of Bowman.〔 He did not compete in bronc riding after 1928, saying "Too many events and a man is no good in any of them."〔
