A really wonderful glimpse into the past. Very well written and very informative. Thank you for taking the time to put this out for us to read and ponder upon. My family homesteaded in the Fall River Valley in 1860 and my Great Grandfather, Robert Love Lewis owned land somewhere in Modoc Co also in the 1860's.
