Rice Buyers

      In the book "The River Calls" Wil tells of his experiences with wild rice. Most of the families on the Bigfork River harvested wild rice. The extra was sold at the General Store to rice buyers. 
   Most of buyers were tight with their money and never gave a fair price. The local indian families put rocks and sand in their rice to pump up the weight. Sometimes they put snapping turtles in the sacks. 
   The buyers got used to such tactics and started taking samples from the sacks. If it crunched when he bit into it, he refused to buy it.
   You can find the EBook Kindle edition of "The River Calls" at Amazon.com and at peaceriverbooks.com. The Peace River Books blog is updated each day. 
   I invite you to visit "The River Calls" blog site each day for a small look into what life was like a long time ago.

Good Reading,
Ron
