Our interest in pack rats [people who save incredible amounts of useless things] was sparked by a combination of personal experience with some older relatives and recognition of similar saving patterns in some younger clients one of us saw in therapy sessions. , we, like most people, assumed that pack rats were all older people who had lived through the Great Depression of the 1930s-eccentrics who were stockpiling stuff just in case another Depression came along. We were surprised to discover a younger generation of pack rats, born long after the 1930s.

In the great overland migration that lasted from 1841 until the start of the Civil War, more than a quarter of a million people pushed their way from the Missouri valley to the Pacific coast. Probably at least 35,000 of them were young girls and boys; except during the Gold Rush, at least every fifth person on the trails was a child. Yet in all we read today, these thousands of young emigrants are infrequently seen and almost never heard. The voices of many of them do survive, .
