Flowing Westward
Fred Seltenre ch
When 1 was going to go
westward with the Smith family,
1 had aome money from work
ing on a tobaeeo farm. He had a
good farm .and had some money,
but he was using it for buy ing
fertilizer, so lie thought he would
go West and get some good land
for only $10 an acre. Ah* went
in partnership, i furnished half
of the mone.v. he furnished the
other half of the money. We
bought a covered wagon ami, on
the side oi it, it >aid “Pike* Peak
or Bust.” We started early one
morning and by twihght we r.-a
ched a camp. We traveled about
'JO miles that bay, and thought
we made *rood time well our
u\ ii'imi. We traveled about thr* e
days when we rum1 upon a
train ol covered wagons. We
were going to Oregon, .iwd that
night when we were in camp we
were attacked by some mb,ms.
The Indians were hidden behind
trees and we had a hard time m
tilt? Open. All lilt? people Were ex
01 i,ed. I was in ,i cove ed wagon,
shortly out past the edge, w mm
an arrow came and skinned my
ear. I was [lightened when the
captain comm.muon "Draw the
Wagons together”, aim all i lie
ox iwains ioi meti a circle. One
ox team was hided by tin* J ml
urns. We bad a big team, so tin?
iamily cauie with us. They hadn’t
an \> children so we had plenty of
room. Alter about a month aii
the people Were restless. When
one night we saw a tally little
J,ght, all the people were amazed,
and even the game uidn’t Know
wi.ere we were, muneoi Hit* peo
pie were sc men. Oiey thought
that it was an i mo.in camp. We
kept oil gemg amt aider a lutle
while we saw it was buLoihs. W*j
"’nre nil glad because wa« iii'hIp'1
provisions and ^unpowder. We
stayed there* for a week to get.
the oxen led up, and the people
needeal a rest. We resil'd up,'
then we started on our journey.
Whet, \\ e got nijoiit a mile from
Sr.Louis we were attacked by
some Indians. Tin \ had about
three times as many as we hail,
'd e were luckp to lind a toi l a
long suit of the road, it was 111
o’eiiii-U and tbe war wa- s(dl rag
mg. Mr. Sindh was wounde I. We
can i*'il him tonne of the wagons.
All we had for medicine was whi
si<\. liie next we hoard it was
3 o'clock, the Indians were still
tighiing more furiously than
brio, e, nut before morning the
Indians left. We were sail* at last.,
We .jei some people coining back:
wiiii ruvr*red wagons. we asked
them In.vs- 11u* road was. they
said it Was tout'll. We bought
ssaue provisions from then) and
oils' of lin n' ox teams, because
they changed llieir minds and
were coniin^ back. They took
i
juM enough to last tliem till they '
‘ I
got to Si Louis.
We kept oil going ior a long
time, seeing only tin* same peo
ple ail toe time. We came to tin.*
fort oi the rocky mountains, We
followed it south for about two
weens, where the roads fork.
We writ! going alter land so
we look tho one northwest.
Only six wagons went south
west. Altera long time wo came
to Oregon. We staked tin* land, I
ami set Led down to farm. After
many \ ea i s Oregon had a big
population. I lived when it was
admitted as a state.
Weil! Well!
