Mrs Sheffield Tours the West on Sugar Beet Farms
Mrs. Sheffield chronicles a July 1924 Idaho Falls trip from Sheridan Wyoming through Big Tongue Valley and Hardin Montana to Billings and Yellowstone. She notes sugar beet farming with workers paid 8.50 a day, Indian land ownership, cattle herding, and visits to General Custer’s battlefield cemetery. The letter visits Mammoth Hot Springs, Old Faithful, and Yellowstone Park entries, describes bears, rangers sealing firearms, and the Snake River valley irrigation in Idaho.
