摘要
Yee-haw Fresh air, open prairie, and a galloping horse-what more could a girl want? Beginning in the mid-nineteenth century, families headed west to build ranches and start new lives in the cattle business. Their daughters were raised on the range with an independent spirit and horses in their blood. Now modern-day cowgirls can come face-to-face with the revolutionary cowgirl style of yesteryear through first-person recollections and over 40 detail-rich, engaging photographs. The book is aimed at girls who love horses and who are hungry for heroines. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Gr 4-8-With a smaller format and simpler text, but using many of the same outstanding illustrations found in her adult title, Cowgirls (Ten Speed, 1996; o.p.), Savage has created an outstanding book for young people. Children will encounter historical cattle ranchers and rodeo riders from Alberta to Texas, including Fannie Sperry, Evelyn Cameron, Calamity Jane, and Vera McGinnis. The different motives and passions of these cowhands are explored, including the "call of the West," love of horses and riding, and practical necessity. From riding gear, breaking wild horses, and daily ranch life to pioneer rodeoing, the range of this lifestyle is presented. The book also lends a perspective on the history of the West not always available to this audience. The attributed period photographs and reproductions of posters on every page, as well as boxed excerpts from letters and journals, complement a highly engaging text. Sepia tones and leather-textured framing for the illustrations add flavor to this nifty piece of bookmaking. An exemplary work.-Nancy Collins-Warner, Neill Public Library, Pullman, WA (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.

This survey highlights the vigorous horsewomen who helped shape the West. Savage (author of the adult title Cowgirls) focuses on the daring girls and women who defied convention to ride horses, lasso cattle and buck broncos. The historical context is unfortunately oversimplified, such as the explanation that people moved West because "the East became grimy and crowded." But lovers of horses and fans of cowboy lore will enjoy these tales about individual women. Rodeo star Fannie Sperry, born in Montana in 1887, learned how to ride as a toddler: her mother simply placed her on the back of a gentle horse and told her not to fall off. A cowboy relates how the best hand on the cattle drive turned out to be a girl who had camouflaged herself as a boy. Better still are sidebars that present the cowgirls in their own words. In one, a Texas cowgirl defies her father and enters a bull-riding competition in the first All Girl Rodeo, "but I broke my hand in nine places. I didn't get bucked off. I broke it gripping so hard." A host of handsomely tinted vintage photographs showcase the power of these female cowhands, seen here wrestling calves to the ground and jumping over everything from fences to cars. A browser's delight. Ages 8-up. (May) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved

(Intermediate, Middle School) ""Once a child was past the baby stage (when she had to stick to old plugs), she was allowed to ride any horse she could get hold of. Bareback or saddled up, it didn't matter which."" Lively text and photographs introduce the riding feats of little girls and the many women who achieved fame training wild horses a hundred and more years ago. Always admiring of the strength and determination of these daring women, Candace Savage is evenhanded, describing the degradation of Native American life and the natural terrain as well as the excitement spearheading the Westward Movement. Drawing on her more fully developed account, Cowgirls, she incorporates excerpts from letters and diaries of the horsewomen and plentiful period photographs to show their hard work and ingenuity as well as the social constraints against which they persevered. Topical segments of text move along smoothly, describing family life on the frontier, the women's gear, their accomplishments on ranches, and their entry into show riding, rodeos, and stampedes. The cancellation of the last remaining ladies bronc-riding competition in 1941 appears to close out the glory years of the cowgirls. The concluding hype that the dauntless spirit of the cowgirl lives on in our hearts is a pretty limp finale for the handsome, well-rendered portrait of these impressive women and the frontier period. A glossary, bibliography, list of websites, author's sources, and index are all included. (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

Kirkus评论
A disjointed scrapbook of anecdotes and journal entries, strung together with archival photos. Savage begins with the life of Fannie Sperry, a spirited 19-year-old Montana native who tamed the wild roan, Blue Dog, and was known for her talent for riding untamed horses. Sperry remains the touchstone throughout the remainder of the worksometimes rather awkwardly. The collection of cowgirl photos should have been the strength here, but too many unsuitable choices have been made for the layout. Sentences cut over two pages to make way for full-paged sidebars. And Savages definition of the Old West is somewhat confusing: she ranges from Montana to Texas to Calgary, Alberta (with no mention that Alberta is in Canada). A map or two would have been a welcome addition. Time periods shift at the authors whimthe page after a description of the events of 1906 is illustrated with a picture from the 1890s; turn the page: 1911. The fashions of the times were very important to the riders, yet one illustration is merely a faint line drawing from a catalogue, reproduced in pale green ink. The disconnect between illustration and text continues to the very end with a quote from 88-year-old Fannie, paired with a photo of three other female friends and competitors. Given the dearth of good material on this subject, readers will be very disappointed in this less than inspired ride. Skip it.

Gr. 6^-9. Everyone knows Calamity Jane and Annie Oakley, but there were many other strong-willed cowgirls in the Old West. Some were widows who managed family ranches after a husband's death, but many were independent, iconoclastic women who loved horses, open spaces, and ranching life. Some were even rodeo ropers, jumpers, and bronco riders. This overview draws on diaries, interviews, and other original sources to describe these women and their affinity for life on the range, which often banged up against rigid social taboos. The plentiful captioned photographs speak volumes about these remarkable U.S. and Canadian pioneers. Boxed information provides such fascinating tidbits as the names of favorite horses and pictures of the brands used to identify women-owned cattle in Texas. A glossary, a list of sources, and a bibliography are appended. This enticing slice of western and women's history will fill a gap in most collections. --Linda Perkins
