Did it increase your knowledge of the trail?
---==---

Some times I wonder if there is room for improvements lol:
I wish it was an original, not an 1988 copyright.

I do have a 1918 one, I will be compiling soon, the pages have not all been cut loose, I was wondering? Is this going to lower the values of the book as an old book or not.
  I can sort of see whats in the folds, but not all of it. I was thinking to get this online would be better than worry about the value because I don't plan to sell any way.

My cousin is married to a Parrish, I sent another cousin the question to the genealogy since not all cousins have computers.

I did a few questions out here where I live on the desert, I ask.
" do you do much on the internet?" _ answer_ 8 of 10, * HUH?"
" I ask- do you know about the Us Gen Web, rootsweb or Genealogy ' most, said NO."
This was a 3 year for fun questions to locals, I have about 300 family people in the Santiam river area, maybe 5 online. I have only one cousin online we do genealogy, mainly Rogers and Matney.  
  I have only increased the wish to inform more people of the things I might help with. 
Maybe more will see a reason to get online. I have 40 acres and a few animals this was all about the pioneer what I am doing here, it was to find out, for a sample, plant corn,enough for a family and water it and take care of it to find it gone ( eaten) and gather a small piece of what they might have emotionally experienced loosing a crop, same things with veggies and sunflowers and other things, In August, 2009, on the 7th, there was a storm, it froze the whole garden, flooded the place, froze 3 foot high tomatoes in the green house type porch. It hailed, snowed, sleeted, rained really hard, and I got pictures of what was left.  Every thing we tried was in line of what some one getting off a wagon train ( out here ) would experience. (( except )) we had a few tools a couple old camp trailers and a garden tractor and a mini RV. We have made a shelter, a kind of shop thing, a 12 foot long root cellar, dug some holes of no apparent use yet, just looking for fossils, found some items of fish and snails, I think, the increase in knowledge is the indulgence one does with understanding the reason one wants the knowledge and that is ( the facts ), not the ability in these days, we can do better.... I spent many years working in Portland, I have the knowledge of the modern city, I was knowing my grand father shortly, not me real one, but a step grand, wonderful people the Martins, had a place near the rouge river, they lived the old ways, when I was a kid, I was all over their things because I never seen them before.
 After all the studies of the pioneer people, I wanted to try it, still trying, each thing was a trying of having and experiencing demise if the coyotes got the chickens, or the goat got loose and planned to stay loose, gardens being impacted by weather, to much wind, to hot in the summer and to dry, what can one experience in the desert and still want to stay? ( Peace )
I also admire the Golden Pioneer on the capitol.
Its my mentor lol;D
Some who stayed, some who left, some who died.
