Good morning Mohicanlanders! I pulled this tidbit of information from the Into the Wilderness board this morning and wanted to pass it along to all of you. We watched the one about the Victorian Family last time and it was quite interesting. Talk about your reality TV. Enjoy!

There is going to be a program on PBS on April 29-30 and May 1 about
3 families sent to Montana last summer. They had to live as frontier
families did in the 1880's. I guess it will be like the 1900's house
last year on PBS. Better Homes and Gardens has featured the families
in the last two issues. They had to build their cabins with only the
supplies that homesteaders would have had with them in the 1880's
and then clear land and farm. There was a family of 6, a family of 4
and a newlywed couple. It looks very interesting to me and I thought
since a lot of you are interested in history and you might want to
check it out.
