Amazing Pioneer Chapel. Pendleton is an old western town that used to have a booming population. Today it only has about 17,000 residents.
This diagram shows that the greatest mass migration in North American history started in 1812 and ended around 1859. This journey taken by pioneers was almost 2000 miles long through rugged wilderness to chart a new destiny ending on the Pacific Slope. It was quite moving being reminded what the emigrants endured in crossing the US from Independence, Missouri to Oregon Country.
