PandaBaby is True Fiction.

Welcome to my Pandababy Blog. A panda bear is an unlikely animal - a bear that eats bamboo - a contradiction in every aspect. This blog is true fiction, also a contradiction in its essence. Yet both are real, both exist - the bear and the blog. Both can only be described by contradictory terms, such as true fiction. Please be pleased to enjoy these stories of our ancestors. They are True Fiction. Every person in my blog lived in the time and place indicated. They are my ancestors and relatives, and their friends.

Indians rode into our Camp this Morning!

 This work has been released into the public domain by its author, Pearson Scott Foresman.  

The oxen were hitched to our wagon and ready to go, when the Indians rode into our camp. After all the fearful stories we heard before leaving Iowa, it was a  relief to see they just wanted to trade. We got plenty of fine salmon, and they got some fine clothing. The Indians were good looking people, Cayuse and Nez Peirce. This Grande Ronde Valley belonged to them. We had to keep going to reach our place on the Willamette River before winter, or we would have stayed to get to know them.
