That’s because the nearly 100-year old rodeo saddle he owns was a featured item on the investigative program’s season premiere which re-airs in August. Fairly certain that the beat-up saddle once belonged to rodeo star and Hollywood actor Yakima Canutt, Garber contacted HISTORY DETECTIVES to see if the show’s producers might be interested in verifying his claim. From there, the story unfolds with plenty of Idaho angles, beginning with Garber’s Gem State roots. Born in Caldwell, he was raised in Southern California but maintains his Idaho connections, visiting family and friends in the Gem State and staying at a family home in McCall each summer. Among those friends is Tom Sweet of Weiser. “I collect Western artifacts, items such as spurs, chaps and saddles,” says Garber. “Tom told me about this old saddle supposedly owned by Yakima Canutt that was hanging in a local bar. After I bought the saddle about four or five years ago and started checking things out, I thought there was a good chance it was probably his. I really enjoy HISTORY DETECTIVES, so I decided to get in touch with them.” After he contacted the show’s producers, Garber eventually hooked up with “detective” Wes Cowan, who took on the assignment of finding out if the saddle did indeed belong to Canutt, a saddle bronc rider and bulldogger who won allaround cowboy honors at the Pendleton Round-Up in 1917, 1919, 1920 and 1923 and took his rodeo skills to Hollywood where he starred in silent westerns. Cowan’s search took him to, among other places, Post Falls, where he consulted Bob Hickman, owner of Hickman Saddlery and distant relative of Canutt’s. “Bob helped us look into the possibility that the saddle belonged to Canutt,” says Garber. Cowan’s investigation also took him and his crew to the Hamley & Co.saddle shop in Pendleton, Ore., where Garber believes the saddle was manufactured. With the help of Hickman, Hamley staffers, and others, Cowan reached the conclusion that Garber’s saddle was made by Hamley in 1917. But did it belong to Yakima Canutt? Well, we’re not going to tell you because the HISTORY DETECTIVES episode with Garber’s saddle is scheduled to air again in August, and we don’t want to spoil the surprise for those who still don’t know. In addition, HISTORY DETECTIVES continues its ninth season with segments that commemorate the United States’ entry into two of its most storied and deadly conflicts — the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War and the 70th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, which pulled America into World War II. In the July 5 episode, Cowan examines a pike — a sharp, spear-like weapon that preceded the bayonet — that may have been used by abolitionist John Brown in his ill-fated raid on the federal armory in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia.
