Rev. Hawkins G. Shock wrote this song in 1854 & sent it back to his family in Boone County Missouri.
"Then I parted away from you
In sorrow grief and trouble too
You gave to me your parting hand
And wished me safe to Oregon
And on our journey we did steer
Over hills & valleys & rivers clear
Through a desert place & a barren land
We steered our course for Oregon
When we got there there was ice & snow
It rained, it hailed & winds did blow
And some of us did weep and cry
Staying here with cold we all shall die
But thank the Lord here health we found
We have landed here both safe and sound
To a wholesome place and a welcome soil
Here is milk here wine both corn & oil
Ten thousand new graves we found
Built up with Fremont works around
Which makes us think in days of old
Some Christian race has passed this place
I have nothing strange to write to you
Since preaching is here & religion too
We are here in peace and all as one
With the Indian tribes of Oregon
My love to you I can't unfold
It is like some ring that made of gold
Its round its pure i has no end
So is my love to you my friend."
