I have a correction though after talking to Mom yesterday. MY GREAT GRANDMA JOHNSON WAS NOT AT THE CLOTHESLINE WHEN THE JAMES GANG STOLE HER HORSES! She was PLOWING THE FIELD! The James Gang disconnected the plow horses and left Grandma standing there with a horseless plow. LOL You, Go, Great Grandma!
If she were alive today, she'd be a Republican because her husband, Magnus Johnson, was a BIG FUNDRAISER in S.D. They homesteaded outside of Garrettson.
They used to sell a photo in the curio shops outside of Seattle when I lived there of pioneering women in Canada pulling a plow as a team. I can't remember if is was 2 or 3 women hitched up. The women were blond and looked like vikings!
