Show INTERVIEW: Emilio Jaime Vasqu z Page 38 EV: Well, no, the group that run with us were all mostly Mexicans. They were either from---some were from Texas, but most of them were from the old country. How they got there, I don't know. But usually they were mostly Mexican that we had. VM: How about, how about just the state in general as far as the labor coming up---seasonal labor. Was it again, mainly Mexican, or was there a good percentage of other? EV: It was mostly Mexicans that I can't remember. Now, there was some Americans, their families that but we never mixed with them, and mo~tly that I used to see was all Mexicans. Like I remember in Driggs, in Driggs, Idaho, it's supposed to have been a pea-county, pea-picking country, and gees, there must of been at least a thousand Mexicans that come into that-this camp. VM: How did they---just make their way up, by how, truck? EV: Ah, truck,----- VM: ----hitch-hiking, anyway that--- EV: ----cars, you know which ever way. A lot of them would catch freight trains and---they'd come into this camp that they had for the people, at least, situate themselves. It was nothing but an area, you know, in the edge of, the edge of town. And they'd have that where you could set up a tent |
