Description: Priest River Valley (Washington state) settlers turned acres of ì sagebrush into fruit orchards. Although farm life required hard ì work and modern conveniences were often spare, many former ì residents remember idyllic, close-knit communities where ì neighbors helped neighbors. Then, in 1943, families received ì forced evacuation notices. "Fruit farmers had to leave their ì crops on their trees. And that was very hard on them, no future, ì no money...they moved wherever they could get a place to live," ì Catherine Finley recalled. Some were given just thirty days, and ì Manhattan Project restrictions meant they could not return.
