For several months we had no bread. Beef, milk, pig-weeds, segoes [lily roots], and thistles formed our diet. I was the herd-boy, and while out watching the stock, I used to eat thistle stalks until my stomach would be as full as a cow’s. At last the hunger was so sharp that father took down the old bird-pecked ox-hide from the limb; and it was converted into most delicious soup.” The settlers freely cooperated and shared with each other and so were able to survive this difficult time.<br /><br />I love this challenge! I'm so humbled my the pioneers and the willingness to endure cheerfully! Smilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15148656601074289623noreply@blogger.com
