Charles Furlong's account of Eastern Oregon's famous Pendleton Round-Up, covering a 4 year period from 1913 to 1917. Furlong wanted to educate the "blase, effete, lily-livered youths" of America about the values of an "honorable physical contest" -- the rodeo. "Roping, racing, and relays, by cowboys, Indians, and cowgirls ; steer roping, maverick races, steer bulldogging ; riding bucking horses, steers, bulls, buffaloes, and cows ; stagecoach racing, Indian ceremonial and war dances, trick riding, mounted tug of war, the grand parade, and that wonderful finale, the wild horse race.," (text).
