| Introduction | An Oregon pioneer, me and the missus arrived on The Empire Builder way back in ought-seven to homestead here in the Willamette Valley. We bought our little spread from a young couple that had got wiped out in the panic that year. We found the soil exhausted, even worms wouldn't live in it. We're tending it back to life, putting in our fruit trees and growing gardens where the other settlers have put grass. But, come what may, we're here now. We'll ride out The Long Emergency here in Salem. |
