Pioneer Settlement of Ashley Valley Hard Winter Chronicle
A recollection reports the Ashley Valley settlement from 1876 to 1879, recounting a brutal winter, treacherous trails to Heber and Duchesne, oxen teams hauling supplies, and early efforts to mill flour. It notes scarce food, crude shelters, and the community’s reliance on shared labor and a homemade burr mill until flour and supplies ran low.
