The children aged 7, 8, 10 and 12 picked beet for long hours, including after sunset on a Sunday. They came from Log Cabin in Colorado (which was located in the upper reaches of the Poudre River Canyon from 1888 to1942). The father claimed they got squeezed out of the mountains, while a neighbour said it was because he was refusing to send the children to school, which was required by law.

Hi, I’m Debbie. I’ve enjoyed books, films, and documentaries about history for more than 30 years. My favourite trips with friends and family are to museums, historic houses, archaeological sites, and I love unearthing old photos and archive film bringing history to life.
