Eisenhower lassoed during 1953 inauguration
The weirdest U.S. presidential inauguration?
During Dwight Eisenhower's 1953 inauguration
America's infatuation with on-screen cowboys was at its peak
Rodeo rider and movie star Montie Montana
was included in the swearing-in ceremony
Montana rode up to the inaugural parade stand
and lassoed Eisenhower in front of the crowd
