CHAPTER ONE
“Six hundred acres! Can you farm six hundred acres?” Molly marveled when Erin explained.
Erin chuckled and shook her head. She too was amazed at the present they had been given for traveling to Oregon. “Well, maybe not this year,” she answered modestly, sharing a huge smile with her wife. She waited a moment and said with a note of wonderment in her voice, “Six hundred and forty acres. Who’d a thought?” Why, the farm back in Ohio had been only forty acres and they had fought for it with trees and Indians and rocks. She looked at the land they were heading for, thrilled to realize that all they had to do was work it and improve it to claim it. “We can also raise cattle, horses, and sheep,” she reminded her, their seed stock having made the trip with them.
“You already filed?” she asked, sounding slightly hurt.
“I did. I didn’t know what I’d find here, and I wanted to claim it for our family before someone else filed on it.”
“Is the area settling up?”
“I haven’t the faintest idea. We didn’t see anyone for days, and it will take us a couple days to get there. But it’s ours, Molly, all ours!” she said, putting her arms around the smaller woman and swinging her around and around as she shouted.
“What? What’s ours? What’s going on?” the children came running. Queenie started barking at the noise.
“Your pa has found our homestead and filed on it,” Molly announced, pleased to be the one to tell them.
