Description
Michael (Mike) Burchak (b. 1912) remembers his mother, Anne Burchak. In particular, he talks about her home remedies and recipes (poltevietza, bobalika, cottage cheese). He recalls his father, Paul Burchak, and his work in coal mining, logging, and farming at Fowler Creek. Mike Burchak describes his own work in trapping, farming, gardening, and selling produce to the Northwestern Improvement Company, Safeway, and Fasseros. He describes changes in fishing, hunting, farming, and transportation throughout the twentieth century.
