Additional Details

The 'Bull-Dogger' is quite possibly the rarest African American film poster ever made. Bill Pickett (1867-1932) was a genuine cowboy. He invented the practice of what we call 'bulldogging,' or steer wrestling. Like a lot of what used to be strictly ranch activities, bulldogging has become a rodeo sport.
