"Hell of a Hand" is the story of the Legendary Roberts Rodeo family. It is also a love story about Gerald and Enes Roberts, a world champion cowboy and his Italian wife who never saw a rodeo. The book lists many famous cowboys in the 1940s and 1950s. This is a book for rodeo fans, cowboys, cowgirls, and anyone who loves romance and history. Their love story was fueled by a love of rodeo and Gerald's rodeo family—primarily Emmett Roberts (E. C.); his wife Clara; and their children Ken, Gerald, and Marge.
