GUEST,paperback Woody Guthrie: A Place of Celebration and Pain (41) RE: Woody Guthrie: A Place of Celebration and Pain 24 Nov 18


First they built the roads to remove them to the Indian Territory then the Sooners took the Indian Territory and turned it to dust. Then The Sooners came in droves, actually driving cars, West, landing in the Colombia River country to, first, dam the river, then farm the desert land, again. Well all up and down that river there lived the last remnant of free living Indians. Now they're gone too.

Seems bad luck followed this fellar, Guthrie.

Oh P.S. between those two mighty dams, (Bonneville and Grand Coulee), they refined the plutonium for that other worthy public project, Manhattan.

Why is it everywhere these locust land everything dies?

Ah well, Woody wrote some nice songs about it.
