lemit Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 I don't know if this will work, but that hasn't stopped me in the past. My late parents were very fond of stories of the American West, of westward expansion and the hardships of homesteaders. They particularly loved stories of the wagon trains. Although the Oregon trail was still in use until the 1940's, I have a feeling that lore, that personal history is being lost. Does anybody have personal or family histories of frontier life? I won't limit this to North America. Do we have any trekkies from South Africa? Anybody from any part of the world whose family histories of going off into the wilderness are still available? Thanks. --lemit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larv Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Don't have any frontier experiences of my own, but my great grandfather was an old Indian fighter and my great grandmother was an old Indian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
