Title

1900s c. Clearing the Sam Moore Ranch for Farming

Description

Clearing the Sam Moore ranch in the Soap Creek Valley for farming. Two men are standing adjacent to a large conifer tree that has just been felled and is in the process of falling. The men are surrounded by stumps from previous clearing activities. 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.
