• Notes

  [18212.ged] [sweeze~2.FTW] In 1969 I visited with Thomas Earl Swezea of Spokane, Washington . He was the grandson of Smith Swezea and was raised by his grandfather Smith Swezea. Tom told me that his grandfather had told him a lot of stories about the trip by wagon train from Missouri to Walla Walla, when he was seven years old and he rode his pony most of the way. He said it took them about six months to complete the journey.
