Thought some of you gals might be interested in this neat story about one lady's adventure moving southwest in the 1800's.

Posted - Apr 26 2009 : 10:57:15 AM What a great link! I remember learning when I was little about burning buffalo chips. I felt so bad for the kids whose job it was to collect them! But what a resourceful way to use what was available, eh?

Posted - Apr 26 2009 : 05:01:09 AM Thanks, Lynn, for posting that! Very interesting. She made it sound so easy, traveling for two months to get to Texas! I like the part where she says they "had to" use buffalo chips. That is as close as she comes to complaining about anything.
