In this segment the narrator recalls early frontier life in Van Buren and Jefferson counties, describing poverty, the first potter shop, Meeks mill, sugar production, and the move to a bare wilderness near Fairfield. He notes neighbors and hardships, including building a shanty, encounters with wildlife and Indians, and a grueling July 1843 journey to their new claim near Pella.
