Description
Every September since 1910, the Pendleton Round-Up has drawn thousands of rodeo fans to a small town in eastern Oregon. For seven days, the crowds in Pendleton thrill to contests that range from bull riding and bronc busting to barrel racing and bareback Indian relays. This extravagantly illustrated book commemorates the centennial of the Round-Up and captures its enduring appeal in Oregon, the Pacific Northwest, and the world of rodeo. As highlighted in these pages, the Pendleton Round-Up show more has many singular features. First, there is its famous "bucking horse" logo and its signature slogan, "Let 'er Buck." Then there are its unique long wooden chutes and hard grass turf. And from the very beginning, American Indians have been as much a part of the Round-Up scene as the cowboys and roughstock. In the rodeo's Native American Village, Indians camp in traditional tipis and celebrate their long-standing cultural traditions. Beautifully designed, this book features a breadth of color and black-and-white photographs--more than 900--showcasing the riders, the drama, and the special atmosphere that is Pendleton. show lessTags
