My inlaws were homesteaders near Pie Town. The West and Baldwin families grew up there. I've visited there for homecoming days in the 90's. Nice collection of shots.

Watching this you get a sense of true rural Americans. It looks like a difficult life, and required hard-working, community-orientated people. Me, being a city boy, know I could never survive there, I am spoiled by modern conveniences, the closeness of stores and restaurants, in short, these were a much stronger group and a fine representation of Americans. Much respect.

Ever since I saw this, I started looking for property in Pie Town. Crazy, I know, but thank you for this video!

Not sure why, but this music makes me feel some kind of a way.......as I move through my 50's, maybe it makes me think about my children and grandchildren looking back at my pictures and think "wow, what a time to live".

I lived in Springville for many years and passed through Pie Town many times while taking the back way across the malpais to get to Albuquerque, sure looked different in these pics.

These are from the magnificent Farm Security Administration color photos on early Kodachrome (NOT colorized). This town sprang up when truly desperate people fleeing the dust bowls of Oklahoma etc. found fertile ground, build homemade dug out and log houses and managed to survive the depression. Not much left of it now. It was named after a little store that sold famous homemade dried apple pies.

I've watched other CZcamsrs review this town (or what's left of it). I always thought it was just a wide spot tourist trap to sell 'pies'. These photos show a rich history of times long gone.

Did everyone raise beans? They did all have killer cars, even the trucks were perfect. I should have been born back in 1920..love that old American steel.
