Cyclone in the Setting Sun | |
|
This mural commemorates the famous ride of Alberta cowboy, Tom Threepersons, at the first Calgary Stampede in 1912 when he rode the bronco, Cyclone, to a standstill. Cyclone had thrown over 70 cowboys and had never been successfully ridden in competition.. |
The Mural was painted on the Calgary Stampede
midway as a kind of side show, then later
mounted on the wall above. |
