Scope and Contents
Summary of transcript: Sarah was born at Fort Wingate, where her father was a teamster. She described what the fort was like during her childhood, their home, the Christmas gifts the soldiers gave them, etc. Later they lived at the Red Rock logging camp, McGaffeys and Ramah and she talks about logging, their home, farm, garden and the winter conditions, including their wagon sleigh, hot rocks to keep warm and her brother’s sled. She also tells stories about her schooling, the Mormons, milking the cows, keeping frogs as pets and working in cookhouses at the fort and for the Whitewater road crew. Sarah recalls her husband, their life and raising children strictly. Apparently she was Jewish originally and becomes a Mormon. She names her family members.
