While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
The Oregon Trail, By Francis Parkman,
1847 Last spring, 1846, was a busy season in
the City of St. Louis. Not only were
emigrants from every part of the country
preparing for the journey to Oregon and
California, but an unusual number of traders
were making ready their wagons and outfits
for Santa Fe.

Thirty One Years in Baker County, By
Isaac Hiatt
Many of the pioneers of thirty years ago are
still living, but their number is growing
less year after year, and soon there will be
no living witness to the stirring events.
History of Portland, Oregon, 1890 For conception and execution of the
present work the city is indebted to D.
Mason & Co., a firm of enterprising
publishers of Syracuse, New York.
