THE OREGON TRAIL CONTINUED The days in the gold fieldswere long and back-breaking.  A few found their fortunes;many moremade just enough to afford a little bacon and flour.  And there weremany who lost everything they had in their mad search for the elusive richesthat lay just over the next hill.      There were others on the Oregon Trail who weren't looking for gold.  They wanted land, land of their own.  They would take their families with them to the fertile land in Oregon.  There, they would plantorchards and grow crops and they, too, would find the things they werelooking for.

COLONIAL HEARTH CONTINUED Therewere no glass windows and people had to make their tables, benches and chairs.  Cooking utensils were scarce and Dutch ovens took the place of a cook stove.   As times got better and English ships brought tools,   cloth and manufactured goods to the seaports at New   York, Boston, Philadelphia and Charleston, the colonists'  lot improved.  Brickhouses lined the rough streets of the fledgling towns and villages.  Tradesmen plied their crafts of smithing, metal work and carpentering.Housewives found a greater variety of food; bakers sold bread, muffinsand sweets; farmers brought produce to towns and exotic spices, teas andchocolate were becoming affordable. POPCORN (From The Colonial Hearth) It was said that the Wampanoag Indian chiefMassasoit and his brother Quadequina brought several deerskins full ofpopped corn to the feast at the first Thanksgiving in 1621.   Indians popped the corn in clay pots over a fire or skewered an ear overa campfire and gathered up any popped kernels that escaped the flames.

HOME ON THE RANGE CONTINUED  Life was hard forthe women and children, too.  Just preparing meals was tedious andtime-consuming.  When garden vegetables ripened, everyone pitched in to help with the canning and preseving.  Children shelled peasand beans and helped dry peaches, apples and apricots.        In this book, you will find a taste of the way people lived and ate during a time when the country was growing and great, empty spaces were beingfilled with settlers.       We hope that you will enjoy this step back into the pages of history.

The pay is $20 and keep and they have a good cook.  Hemakes the best cobblers I ever tasted, even better than back home.  We get eggs and flapjacks and biscuits for breakfast.  Each man hashis own bunk at the bunkhouse.  I hired on as a wrangler. That's justto start with.  I'm going to get my own ranch one of these days. - Your friend Ellis" CLICK HERE to return!
