    TRANSCRIPT—WILLIAM LEONARD Interviewee: WILLIAM LEONARD Interviewer: SAMUEL BAKER Interview Date: March 25th, 2013 Location: The Citadel, Capers Hall, Charleston, South Carolina Length: 1 hour, 38 minutes, and 15 seconds SAMUEL BAKER: Hello, good afternoon. Today is March 25th, and we’re here at The Citadel for the Veteran’s History Project. And today I’m going to be interviewing Mr. William Leonard. Would you want to start off by telling us about your childhood here in Charleston beforehand? WILLIAM LEONARD: Let’s start by that I guess. I was born in Charleston, 97 Tradd Street, in May 17th, 1925. I was born into a family, two sisters, older sisters, and one brother, and I was the youngest in the family. And my mother was from the old, one of the old families of Charleston. And my father was what we call a maverick in Charleston. He was a fella that was born in Alabama—Birmingham, Alabama—and he came here when he was two years old in 19—in 1896. And he was never a Charlestonian. But he married into a Charleston family so that made him be, be, in. He always—my father doesn’t like Charlestonians. SB: Very well, fair enough. WL: But anyway, made him a little [bit of an] outsider. I went to local schools. And ended up by going to a school in Mt. Pleasant because they started a new school over there, and they had girls in there, and I was 16 years old and was quite interested in girls. Graduated from over there in 1943, and immediately my father put me in The Citadel.

  • The Following Event Descriptions Are Presented for Your Edification and Clarification on What Is Being Represented and Celebrated in Bronze for Our Champions
    The following event descriptions are presented for your edification and clarification on what is being represented and celebrated in bronze for our champions. RODEO: Saddle Bronc Riding Saddle Bronc has been a part of the Calgary Stampede since 1912. Style, grace and rhythm define rodeo’s “classic” event. Saddle Bronc riding is a true test of balance. It has been compared to competing on a balance beam, except the “apparatus” in rodeo is a bucking bronc. A saddle bronc rider uses a rein attached to the horse’s halter to help maintain his seat and balance. The length of rein a rider takes will vary on the bucking style of the horse he is riding – too short a rein and the cowboy can get pulled down over the horse’s head. Of a possible 100 points, half of the points are awarded to the cowboy for his ride and spurring action. The other half of the points come from how the bronc bucks and its athletic ability. The spurring motion begins with the cowboy’s feet over the points of the bronc’s shoulders and as the horse bucks, the rider draws his feet back to the “cantle’, or back of the saddle in an arc, then he snaps his feet back to the horse’s shoulders just before the animal’s front feet hit the ground again. Bareback Riding Bareback has also been a part of the Stampede since 1912. In this event, the cowboy holds onto a leather rigging with a snug custom fit handhold that is cinched with a single girth around the horse – during a particularly exciting bareback ride, a rider can feel as if he’s being pulled through a tornado.

The very first rodeo approval went to the Sandhill Roping Club in Lancer, Saskatchewan. Annually, the CCA sanctions more rodeos than any other association, pro or semi-pro. Community rodeos, Today, the Canadian Cowboys Association has grown to be the largest semi-pro rodeo association in Canada. Sanctioning over 50 rodeos with memberships rising to over 1,000, the CCA now runs its rodeos throughout Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. CCA Membership includes members from the Prairie provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, British Columbia, Montana, Mexico and Australia. It is estimated that just the sport of rodeo, in Canada alone, is attended by more than 1.3 million people nationwide, with the CCA recording over 250,000 attendees at both their sanctioned rodeos throughout the rodeo season, and at the CCA Finals Rodeo in October.
