A rope was a rope. Roping was the activity and rope was the instrument. However, the magic that could be worked fascinated Americans, and the Wild West Show for a time rivaled the circus as exciting entertainment in the nineteenth century. Fascinated, youngsters practiced at being Wild Bill Hickoks. In a later era, Will Rogers entranced audiences with his rope tricks accompanying his famous monologues. This short introduction to the basics of the lasso was almost a bible to generations of backyard enthusiasts. Certainly it is a reminder of a time when having fun did not require a flat screen.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51055917891857,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51055920709905,"sku":"NIN9781935907077","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53072451698961,"sku":"GOR008872418","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1935907077.jpg?v=1751380951"},{"product_id":"drums-tomtoms-and-rattles-book-bernard-s-mason-9781616461621","title":"Drums, Tomtoms and Rattles","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51173638603025,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51173640405265,"sku":"NIN9781616461621","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1616461624.jpg?v=1750830793"},{"product_id":"boy-s-book-of-camping-and-wood-crafts-book-bernard-s-mason-9781586670726","title":"Boy's Book of Camping and Wood Crafts","description":"Ever wonder how to make a teepee, wigwam or lean-to?
