Herman Linder was a rancher, rodeo competitor, and rodeo promoter. Linder was born in Darlington, Wisconsin, USA, 5 August 1907 to a circus performer who had emigrated from Switzerland to North America. The family later moved to Cardston, Alberta, Canada, where the young Linder began to ride young steers and unbroken horses for amusement. He and his brother, Warner, soon took to rodeoing. The first time he competed at the Calgary Stampede, Linder won the Canadian championships for both the saddle bronc and bareback bronc riding. He soon began to dominate the sport, becoming known as "King of the Cowboys" in the 1930s, winning the Canadian all-round championship seven times, and the North American championship five times in a row.
