Orrin Davenport

I'm sure Mr. Davenport is better remembered as a Shrine Circus producer than a bareback rider. When you made his route, you were in the big time. Wichita and Kansas City in the fall, then after Christmas it was Grand Rapids, Detroit, Cleveland, etc. right up until the mud shows opened in the spring. Here he is as a young man at practice with an earthen ring curb banked up.
