Description
A WINDOW WITHOUT A VIEW by PRISCILLA BURGERS
An askew window in an abandoned building in Henry, Idaho lost its picturesque view years ago. Henry is a surviving reminiscent example of numerous small towns, trading posts and gathering places for early day settlers, stockmen, cowboys, and sheepherders. Founded by a Dutch pioneer around 1884, Henry thrived as a center for cattle ranchers of the area and the transient sheep herders. A large sheep-sheering corral, built one mile south of Henry, operated about 60 days each year as large range flocks were driven to the corral to be shorn.
Henry had one of the first great rodeos of the West. In 1917, local cowboys got together for the first time near Henry to test their skills in a "rodeao." It bore the name of Henry Stampede and Stockmen's Reunion. Bucking horses for the rodeo were trailed from Jackson Hole. Over time, the rodeo produced professional cowboys who participated in rodeos throughout the world and attracted artists such as Charles M. Russell.
