It's always nice to come across a reminiscence like this, as it dates back to the late 19th/early 20th century. I cannot imagine walking 12 miles one way to Menasha with a wooden yoke over my neck, buckets of berries dangling on either side. But such was our forebearers' lot in life.

ReplyDeleteThat ain't nuthin'! I told my grand daughter that back in the 1950s I walked 2 miles through the snow to school and back and uphill in both directions.
