Four Lines a Day

<p>In the 1930s 15-year old Mary Marks moved to a rural community along the Imnaha River in northeast Oregon's Wallowa County. There in country so remote that electricity didn't arrive until the 1960s she married and built a life of hard work and deep friendships with family and neighboring ranchers. </p><p>Through it all she kept a diary four lines a day for sixty years. This is the story of Mary's life revealed by those diaries and conversations with her long-time friend Janie Tippett. As much as anything this is a story of friendship between two women a friendship built on a common love for ranching and for the wild rugged country of the Imnaha. </p>
