Sagebrush homesteads
Title:
Sagebrush homesteads
Summary:
"The pioneers who took up homesteads on the raw sagebrush land of the great Columbia Basin were men and women of real fortitude and courage. Their struggles to make homes and raise crops, with the great scarcity of water which then existed, is an epic to match that of other earlier Western pioneers." "The author was a child of ten when the Joseph W. Tice family moved to a homestead north of the present town of Othello, Washington. Other homestead lands nearby were being rapidly taken up. She retained vivid memories of those early years, and she recounted many of the experiences of her parents and other homestead families between the years of 1901 and 1916."-- Jacket.
