Description
An oral history audio recording of Lee and Shirley Walker. They recall many apple growers, when the migrant workers first arrived and the camps where they lived. Also, the plight of the apple crops. They tried introducing odd variety apples to add to the competitive market. Mr. Walker talks about the Rosebrook Gravenstein which was hybrid of the local Gravenstein, he says that's all they grow now. There is an occasional annoying squeak heard during the interview.
