Description: This is a full-body studio portrait of George Fletcher, a Black American rough-stock rider in the early days of rodeo. This photo was probably taken between 1910-1920. Raised in the Pendleton area, he spent his youth working horses on nearby ranches and on the Umatilla reservation until he entered his first rodeo at age 16. He’s most famous for the pivotal World Title saddle bronc-riding contest at the 1911 Pendleton Round-Up, his hometown rodeo.
