Description
James “J. B.” Armstrong tells a story about traveling to Camp Crook, South Dakota in a Model T and having car trouble on the way back. He talks about taking sheep to Belle Fourche, South Dakota in 1919, and being caught in a bad snowstorm. He recalls a time in which two cowhands who were separated from their outfit camped with him. He talks about butchering and cooking a lamb for them. He talks about trailing sheep during the drought of 1919, when he went two days without finding a watering hole.
This audio has not been transcribed, but a tape counter index is available.
