One of the best tie-down calf ropers ever to come out of South Texas, Juan Salinas roped in Texas rodeos large and small from the mid-1920s to 1935. At the time, few if any other Mexican Americans competed in rodeo. The story of Juan Salinas is also the story of the people of Mexican origin who live on the ranches of the South Texas brush country.
