Early Life
Garrett's Miss Pawhuska was a 1946 sorrel mare sired by Leo and out of Jenny Dee, a daughter of Jimmie Allred. Her dam (mother) was out of a mare named Big Bay, who was of unknown breeding. Jimmie Allred was sired by Dan whose father was Old Joe Bailey. Jimmie Allred's dam was Alice McGill who was sired by Little Hickory Bill, a son of Hickory Bill who was sired by Peter McCue Miss Pawhuska was bred by Bill Rowe of Carlsbad, New Mexico, but by the time she was a yearling she was owned by Earl Jackson, of Pawhuska, Oklahoma. It isn't clear if Jackson bought Miss Pawhuska as a foal or if he bought Miss Pawhuska's dam while she was still carrying Miss Pawhuska.
When Miss Pawhuska was a yearling, Dee Garrett visited Jackson's ranch and one of Jackson's ranch hands told him the filly was for sale for $200 (approximately $2,100 in current dollars). Although Jackson had not planned to sell the filly, he felt obligated to complete the sale because his employee had put a price on her.
