The man in the black frock coat had already begun to speak when we entered the hall. My aunt Cora had done her best to coax my father and me out of our room in time to arrive early but instead we excused ourselves as we nudged our way to a few open seats. Just days before my father, Frank, Cora and I had stepped off the train at La Grande Station in the burgeoning city of Los Angeles. It was Thanksgiving time in 1913. We had traveled from Michigan and we were excited and thankful for the promise of a new life. We took our seats but before tuning into the silver-tongued orator who stood at the front of the hall, I scanned the room. Beside me was a woman of 50 or so, perhaps more, with a tired, lined face and a look of a fearful eagerness in her eyes. Next to her was a heavy red-faced farmer and his frail wife. Then there were sickly businessmen who had developed asthma and asthmatic wives and children. There were widows striking out on their own after a long life of taking orders and there were spinsters, oh lots of spinsters, who had been stenographers and bookkeepers and file clerks and teachers for more years than they wanted to remember. There were bachelors too, mostly old but some middle-aged, who had just begun to realize they would be old someday and decided they better fasten onto something after living a “roving life.” There were all sorts, mostly middle-aged or older though some had young sons and daughters with them. But almost every one of them had somehow taken a beating from life and now, with a last throw, they looked and hoped so eagerly for a new chance in life. Reluctantly, I turned my attention from the people to the lecture. Mr. William Smythe was telling the story of the Little Lands with pictures thrown on a large white screen to prove his points. The image changed to a pretty young girl picking tomatoes off a vine that climbed to the roof. All you had to do, the speaker said, was to bring a trowel and a sack of cement for there were rocks and sand on-site to build your home. Before you started, he explained, you were to drop a few seeds in the virgin soil of your backyard and in no time at all you’d be picking vegetables for your dinner. To complete the picture, you were to buy a goat for milk and a few chickens for meat. Mr. Smythe went on. “As soon as you have your cellar dug, plant some mushrooms and by the time you get your roof finished, they’d be adding to your plate,” he said. He raised his hands in the air and emphatically stated, “This is where it gets good, folks.” He then explained how a cooperative store would soon be built that would be owned and operated by all the colonists. Here excess produce could be traded for other products and trucks would be provided to get goods to the market. He went on to share that if you didn’t want to tackle a job yourself, others would be happy to give you a hand. There were builders and stonemasons, plumbers and roofers, all willing to assist. There were professors ready to advise on any growing problems and musicians and actors ready to entertain in the brand-new “Club House” that would be dedicated in just days. These were the memories of Mable Hatch as she joined others to hear the pitch of Little Landers founder William Ellsworth Smythe on Saturday, Nov. 29, 1913, in downtown Los Angeles. Following the presentation, with hopes held high, he led the group to a number of autos and their journey began to the stony foothill that is now Tujunga. The adventure continues in two weeks.
