Pendleton Roundup I, 1941

This 1941 home movie, Pendleton Roundup, 1941, I, shot by Chas. Masters with titles by Louis Moss, captures the iconic Pendleton Round-Up rodeo in Oregon. In silent Kodachrome, it likely features bronc riding, steer roping, and cowgirls racing on the unique grass arena, with Native American participants from the nearby Umatilla Reservation adding cultural depth. Part one of a two-reel set, it offers a vivid, pre-WWII glimpse of this rugged Northwestern spectacle, blending action with small-town festivity.
