canoe and fishing boat

by Murph

 

lots of tough and not so tough country to explore. I have leads for instance on a place where up to 500 people would camp to to pick and sell blueberries.This was way back in history, so there were no banks handy.So Ma ,Pop and the kids gather and sell berries.Where do they keep the money? In their blankets or in a hole in the woods? Also cranberry bogs sometimes have dozens of pickers and rakers at harvest time.These workers were often put up in "dry houses" for the season.These where usually 20 by 40 or 30 by 80 feet in length.Even if the property owners of those bogs dismantled the dry house.A trash pit full of old bottles and cans ,etc still remains somewhere around those bogs.Bottles fetching five to fifty dollars are common in those 1880 to 1915 date ranges.Really rare ones you'd need to rsearch and auction to get a fair price,but a couple hundred and up is not shocking.
