Livingston Rodeo Recalls Early Day Racing Attracts
A historical note recalls Livingston early races before the rodeo era. The half mile Fleischman Creek track hosted Fourth of July events in 1892 with fights, tumbles, and a heart attack incident. Promoters like W. R. Hennig and Ed Dean built a racing ground with bands, trains, and several famed horses and jockeys amid lively bets and colorful mishaps.
