spirit. There the real, practical work of the trail, cow- 

 camp and range is shown, through the sports of the 

 pioneer; for the play of a people is usually but a nor- 

 mal outgrowth and expert expression of its work. 



This great carnival is supported by the community 

 spirit of Pendleton and the surrounding country. It 

 is essentially an American pageant and typifies a phase 

 of American life which will soon have passed forever 

 below the horizon of time, but should be eternally en- 

 graved on the escutcheon of our history. 



The Round-Up is an epitome of the end of The 

 Great Migration on this continent and stands not only 

 as typical of Pendleton, but of Oregon, of the West, 

 of America. This panorama of the passing of the Old 

 West is a page torn literally from the Book of our 

 Nation, and it is for this reason that I offer this little 

 volume as a chapter of the pioneer story as shown in 

 the Epic Drama of the West.
