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

Lynn,
I just read the story about the pioneer lady. It is very interesting. I really do enjoy those kinds of stories about how our country was settled.
Thanks

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.

I too enjoying reading about those days
My great grandmothers told some stories ; well a few from when they were little girls
I need to write them down before I forget them; but ; I forget to write them down
Maybe, I need to write my self a note to write the memories down in my journals.

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?
