Description
A black-and-white photograph of a scene identified in white ink at the bottom as Maj. Moorhouse leading Indian parade The Roundup. The photo was taken by O. G. Allen, Pendleton, Oregon. Major Lee Moorhouse rides a light-colored horse down the dirt street; beside him rides a Native American man on a darker horse with a white blaze. Tire and other tracks can be seen in the dust of the road. The Major wears some type of Western gear and a low-crowned felt hat. A coil of rope hangs from his saddle. His companion has a high-crowned hat with feathers in the headband and a shirt with decoration on the front. They are about to ride under a cord which has been stretched across the street; the pennants and flags hung from it, including the Stars and Strips and a flag with a cowboy on it, are flapping in the breeze. Behind them ride a number of Native American men in their regalia with feathered bonnets and standards. The parade is riding along one of the main streets of Pendleton. Brick or stone buildings line the side of the street behind the men; they have chimneys at regular intervals and arched windows behind which blinds and advertising posters can be seen. Painted near the roofs are legends such as Groceries and Farm Machinery. The stores at ground level have awnings, some open and some closed, with big plate-glass windows. The curb of the sidewalk is lined with telephone or telegraph poles. At the right of the photo in the entrance to the Umatilla Implement Company is a group of people watching the parade.The men wear suits and hats; the women, long dresses and hats. In front of them near the curb stand two children with a small dog on a leash.
