Oral history interview with Herbert A. Schroeder

Schroeder discusses his family background, including homesteading in Oregon, running a sawmill, and logging. Willis Raymond Grafe and Lois Lennox were also present and contributed to the interview. The audio of the first two interview sessions is very poor; there is bleed-through of choral music and the speakers’ voices echo. The tapes also contain several minutes of unrelated audio content.
