The Journey to Oregon - 1934
The Journey to Oregon - 1934 is a true story of eight family members who travel from the drought and dust storms of Nebraska to the promise of Oregon in 1934, searching for a better life. John and Helen Schafer have been married six months when they decide to go to Oregon with John's family, which include his parents, his two brothers, one sister and one sister-in-law. The group is concerned they may not have enough money to make the trip and each time one of the vehicles needs repair or a flat tire is fixed, the stress of survival increases. Although they are leaving family behind, they are traveling toward family and they also run into an unexpected family member on the trip. When they arrive in Pratum, Oregon, they immediately experience the abundance Oregon offers. They work in the fields and orchards and start earning money the day after their arrival. The actual ten-day journey to Oregon is only a part of their story. The rest of it takes place in Oregon and includes how a small farming community provides support for the family. The family members are successful in finding a better life in Oregon, and many people follow them to Oregon to share in the bounty the state has to offer.
