[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3536024, member: 7900"] Not sure about the other two photographs, but this one is definitely one taken in the Boise City area of Cimarron County. I can't imagine the courage required to stay in such desolate places to eke out a living. Many of these same people were also the ones who fought in WWII, so they survived the Depression, the Dust Bowl, and the War. Even in the time of my youth, very few farmers, if any, had their own welders. So, if an implement needed repair, the parts were taken off and taken into our local blacksmith/welder. I remember being in his shop one day and noticing his wooden leg. (One of his sons was a classmate of mine.) He took time from the work to sit down and explain how war cost him that leg, but that it was necessary to restore freedom to those that had lost it. [/QUOTE]
