<DIV><SPAN class=718360423-21032006><FONT color=#0000ff>Now that I brought it
up, I thought I'd check the actual BLM records. Surprise! These kids had
either homesteads, or "cash sales entry - 3 Stat. 566" entries. No "timber
culture." Go figure. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=718360423-21032006><FONT color=#0000ff>So, some family "legend"
was not quite on target. But what about 2ggrandpa? I don't find his land
in Whitman at all. Yet, I've seen the plat maps for said land, and been to the
farm personally. My guess is he bought it from the patentee, and it was a
secondary sale, therefore not on the land records.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

[or-roots] timber in Whitman County WA<BR><BR></FONT></DIV><FONT
id=role_document face=Arial color=#000000>
<DIV>At one time, before the farming became so prevalent and late in the
1800's there was significant timber on the Palouse Hills. So much so
that Rockford Wa (located in southern Spokane County) was inundated with
loggers. The loggers tended to enjoy Saturday night and Rockford boasted
of the highest crime rate in the US for the period of time that logging went
on in the area. These crimes consisted primarily of murdering each
other.(Spokane and Whitman counties
adjoin)</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></FONT></BODY></HTML>
