Back to the Land Caravan Heads West From Chicago
Chicago hosts Gen W D Scott and his modern caravan en route to Idaho. An organized colony offers 5,120 acres at 125 dollars an acre with water rights, irrigation via Cedar Creek reservoir, and 6 percent financing. Governor Davis welcomes the settlers as 400 colonists prepare to begin a 2,500 mile motor journey toward Twin Falls County near Buhl Idaho.
