Windham's research on Travis Windham: ""Trav" Windham has been described as "one of the greatest cowmen Texas ever knew". It has been stated that the world's first rodeo occurred at Pecos City, Texas, in the early 1880's. A. T. "Trav" Windham was the "winner" of this, the first rodeo held in the United States. About five hundred people attended and were served "dinner on the ground" at this rodeo. "Trav" Windham worked for the Hash Knife Ranch which was located near Abilene, Texas, but later expanded their operations and in 1881 established a new ranch on the Pecos River north of Pecos City, Texas."
