Title
1900s c. Plowing in the Soap Creek Valley
Description
Two teams of horses, one two-horse team and one four-horse team, pull a plow and another agricultrual implement. A man is posed with each team. In the background, a number of conifer trees still stand in land that appears to have been recently cleared. Although this image dates nearly 40 years after Letitia moved from the Soap Creek Valley, it paints a portrait of the life of Soap Creek Valley settlers in a time period similar to, adjacent to Letitia's. The surrounding land and lifestyle mirror what David and Letitia experienced during their time in the valley, giving us an idea of what life would have been like for them when photographs were too new to have captured Benton County, Oregon.
