When The Whistle Blows
The Turk Greenough Story

Some know Turk as a champion bronc rider, one of the very few to ride the notorious Midnight and then Five Minutes to Midnight, who was eventually inducted into the National Cowboy Hall of Fame and the Western Heritage Center. Others seem only to remember his short marriage to Sally Rand, the well known fan dancer. Western Movie fans may still recall his movie stuntman work with the likes of Roy Rogers, Gene Autry and John Wayne but Turk Greenough’s story encompasses more than any one of these events and in When the Whistle Blows they all come together, interwoven to make the whole cloth of his extraordinary life.

When The Whistle Blows…”is an exciting read and a valuable resource about a fading time and culture.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed When The Whistle Blows and commend Tom Ringley for capturing and conveying this great piece of rodeo history in such a delightful way. I was fortunate enough to have met the four “Ridin’ Greenoughs” and appreciate getting to know them better through this writing. The depiction of Turk Greenough as a tough, yet wholesome individual who paved the way for the rodeo world as we know it is priceless, not only to rodeo historians, but also as an integral part of Montana history and lore.”

“Finally the world can read about Turk Greenough and his illustrious life and rodeo career. The author left nothing out. The wins and the losses are accounted for, and well as the highlights and the ‘low’ lights in this world-class cowboy's colorful life. The rest of the famous “Riding Greenough Family” is also included in this book. A great read about one of rodeo's most notable cowboys and his family.”
