Lumber barons had swept through the state like a hurricane, much as they had done in New England and New York, carting away the world's last great stand of white pine forests. In their wake lay dying towns, hundreds of miles of combustible debris, erosion-made swampland and wonderment on the part of those left behind that they had traded their heritage for a handful of bright coins.<a href="http://www.brewhousegrill.com/what-stanley-steemer-can-do-for-the-office-and-business/" rel="nofollow">Mount Pleasant Carpet Cleaning</a><br />mayazoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15424160001444581838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-498704263453929327.post-62581175126964050712012-06-07T13:56:18.397-07:002012-06-07T13:56:18.397-07:00Thanks so much, Glenn West.

It has been one of my most unusual discoveries and I really enjoyed writing about it. I hope you get to travel to see the coffin-shaped above-ground crypts before too long. I think it will be a trip well worth the expense and effort. Maybe you will find you are kin to the Wests of Hood County.<br />God speed.<br />Judy ShubertJudith Richards Shuberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499186334451409604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-498704263453929327.post-78992040665283288242012-06-07T09:47:41.819-07:002012-06-07T09:47:41.819-07:00Thanks for all the info ...beautiful ....im a west...Thanks for all the info ...beautiful ....im a west!!
