This is an episode in our weekly series titled 'Primary Source Tuesday.' Each Tuesday we have a reading from a particularly interesting historical item. Sometimes it's a historical tidbit that wasn't quite beefy enough to make a full column out of; other times, an especially interesting old newspaper article; frequently it's a short story from one of the frontier literary magazines that thrived in Oregon at the end of the 19th century. Today it's the transcript of a March 1938 interview by WPA (Works Progress Administration) writer Claire W. Churchill with Anne Abernethy Starr, born in Portland in 1869. (Portland, Multnomah County; 1880s) (To read the interview and associated materials, see https://www.loc.gov/item/wpalh001932/ or Google "Library of Congress Anne Abernethy Starr")
