First Wheat in Payette County Narrated by Hensley Family
In 1845 Hensley sowed winter wheat on new land and sent his two sons Auben G. and Jacob G. to Ossendé, Dubuque County, with twelve bushels to a mill. The trip took eight days. on the return the family feared massacres but were relieved to find all safe. Subsequent winter ventures recount arduous two ox-team treks to Quanqueton and Quasqueton, crossing the Turkey River, with men braving cold, hunger, and ice. The narrative ends noting the Pullman Palace Car strike context and a Cedar Rapids Gazette summary of Pullman Co. finances.
