Pendleton, Oregon, in 1911 was a wheat and wool town on the Umatilla River in the state's northeast corner, shipping grain and wool out by rail. The Pendleton Round-Up, begun only the year before, drew ranch hands and townspeople each September to a rodeo of bronc riding, steer roping, and bulldogging. The 1911 program included cowgirl events, which drew crowds that local papers followed closely. Ranching families across Umatilla County saw the show as a chance to display their horses, their skills, and their town to visitors from across the Columbia Plateau. The Pendleton Woolen Mills, opened only two years earlier, was also building the local economy and would later make the town's blankets widely known.
