Willie M. Pickett (December 5, 1870 โ April 2, 1932) was an African American cowboy, rodeo performer, and actor. In 1989, Pickett was inducted into the #ProRodeoHallOfFame.
Pickett left school in the fifth grade to become a ranch hand; he soon began to ride horses and watch the Texas Longhorn steers of his native Texas.
He invented the technique of bulldogging, the skill of grabbing cattle by the horns and wrestling them to the ground. It was known among cattlemen that, with the help of a trained bulldog, a stray steer could be caught. Bill Pickett had seen this happen on many occasions. He also thought that if a bulldog could do this feat, so could he. Pickett practiced his stunt by riding hard, springing from his horse, and wrestling the steer to the ground. Pickett's method for bulldogging was biting a cow on the lip and then falling backward. He also helped cowboys with bulldogging. This method eventually lost popularity as the sport morphed into the steer wrestling that is practiced in #rodeos.
#Pickett soon became known for his tricks and stunts at local country fairs. With his four brothers, he established The Pickett Brothers #BroncoBusters and Rough Riders Association. The name #BillPickett soon became synonymous with successful rodeos. He did his bulldogging act, traveling about in #Texas, #Arizona, #Wyoming, and #Oklahoma.
In 1905, Pickett joined the #101RanchWildWestShow that featured the likes of Buffalo Bill, Will Rogers, Tom Mix, Bee Ho Gray, and Zach and Lucille Mulhall; he performed under the name "The Dusky Demon." Pickett was soon a popular performer who toured around the world and appeared in early motion pictures, such as a movie created by Richard E. Norman.Pickett's ethnicity resulted in his not being able to appear at many rodeos, so he often was forced to claim that he was of Comanche heritage in order to perform. In 1921, he appeared in the films The Bull-Dogger and The Crimson Skull.
Pickett was born in the Jenks Branch community of Williamson County, Texas, in 1870. (Jenks Branch, also known as the Miller Community, is in western Williamson County, five miles southeast of Liberty Hill, and near the Travis County line.) He was the second of 13 children born to Thomas Jefferson Pickett, a former enslaved man, and Mary "Janie" Gilbert. Pickett had four brothers and eight sisters. The family's ancestry was African-American and #Cherokee. By 1888, the family had moved to Taylor, Texas.
In 1890, Pickett married Maggie Turner, the formerly enslaved daughter of a white southern plantation owner. The couple had nine children.

Bill Pickett was among the best of all the cowboys. He was Black but he had respect and was an incredible showman. He invented the art of "bulldogging" which caused a steer to halt moving: https://t.co/s2mQnLzcMp #billpickett #blackcowboy #bulldogging
Fox Hastings born in 1898, in Galt, Calif. She was the 1st #woman to tackle the event of "bulldogging" at the prestigious #Houston Stock Show in 1924. Fox was 14, when she decided to rope & ride. She retired from #bulldogging in 1936 & died 12 years later at the age of 50๐น๐น๐น
