Man what I would have give to have lived then. Things are so much different then. More wide open country and folks were so much nicer. I know most didn't have much as far as money but a mans word was good and he earned everything he had.
It would have been a hell of a place/time to raise a family
Billy, I own a place in the same area, and I am considering opening a B&B for all of you that want that "ole time experience". Talk about fun, you'll love it; times were much "simpler" then. Your first morning up at 4:00 am for that short walk to the out house. Then get dressed, milk five cows before breakfast, carry the milk to the milk house, separate the milk, feed the calves, hogs and chickens. Then inside for a power house breakfast of eggs, ham and home made biscuits cooked on a wood stove. After that great breakfast, down to the wood lot, fell a couple of trees with an ax then chop and split two cords of wood with the ax. Down to the barn and harness two teams, one for you and one for the boy, six is plenty old enough to drive a team, one to a lister and the other to the mold board. Work in the field 'til near dark and unharness the teams and feed the stock. Then another of those great meals, before bed time. Work all week and on Saturday night get down the carbide light and call 'ol Drum and go 'possum huntin'. Weren't many coons in the country in those times, but you get the idea. I'll have both the week and the two week experience ; you can check our website, brokeback. com.
