Pioneer Stories
In her memoirs, my great-grandmother, Lexia Dastrup Warnock, 1890–1985, recalled the pioneer bartering system. “The railroad came through in 1869 but did not reach Sevier Valley until I was six years old in 1896. Until that time my father spent his winters ‘freighting’ that is, hauling farm produce to the mining camps where he sold it for cash…. Trade among the home people was mostly trade—barter—trading my produce or labor for whatever you had to offer. Cash or money was scarce.
“When I was a child, you couldn't go to the store and buy a head of lettuce. They just didn't have any there. They had eggs that they brought from the farmer, and you could buy them from the store or the farmer would sell extra butter that he made. Anything that he wanted to get rid of he'd sell it to the store, or rather, trade it for what the store had that he wanted.”
