Susan J.P. O’Hara and Alex Service announce publication of ‘In and Around the Arena’

Susan J.P. O’Hara and Alex Service survey the growth and changes in both the Fortuna Rodeo and the town of Fortuna, California, over the past 100 years in their new book “In and Around the Arena: The 100-Year History of the Fortuna Rodeo” (published by Archway Publishing). The book itself is dedicated to the board and rodeo participants over the years.

From the Fortuna Rodeo’s origins in 1921 up to the present day, the rodeo has been a mainstay of Fortuna. Aside from 2020, the rodeo has not had a cancelation since the end of World War II. In addition to the rodeo itself, “In and Around the Arena” also discusses the history and growth of Fortuna over the past century. The book is packed with photographs and lore of the region surrounding the small California town in Humboldt County, California.

Hundreds of photographs from the collections of community members, local museums, universities, and the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum illustrate the text. Among the many never-before-published images is a photograph from the collection of the Rodoni family showing the 1961 Fortuna Rodeo’s salute to “old cowboys” who had ridden in the rodeos of the 1920s. The book also features images created by Fortuna photographer Rudy Gillard, a rodeo board member and official photographer of the Fortuna Rodeo, between 1955 and 1981.

“We want readers to take away an appreciation for living in a small community and for how people working together have been able to create this event and maintain its operation for the past 10 decades” O’Hara and Service say.

“In and Around the Arena” is available for purchase online at the Archway link above, from Barnes & Noble and on Amazon at: https://www.amazon.com/Around-Arena-100-year-History-Fortuna/dp/1665708417.
