 Try searching for information on the topic of “Mass Migration of Cranes From Marion County” and you won’t find much.

But there are some clues.

The earliest dating back to 1959.

That’s when Mr. and Mrs. James Crane loaded their 10 children into the back of a blue and white pickup James had converted into a modern covered wagon and headed off to Alaska.
