Ruth Finley, 8/3/1982
File — Box: 1, Folder: 10
Scope and Contents
Summary only: Ruth is talking before the Gallup Historical Society. Throughout the tape there is a high pitched squealing sound and the narrator’s voice is distorted. You can understand much of what she says, but with some difficulty. She seems to be reading from written notes about her life or a memoir. Finley was a teacher in Gallup, trained in the Midwest, and then came West by rail at the turn of the century. She talks about the railroad trip to Gallup, the early businesses, saloons, opera house, social life, and some of her life experiences in town
