Sinopsis

George Seevers was born in Illinois and at the age of 2 was placed in an orphanage. He was made to work at an early age and was not allowed to go to school. A kindly matron took pity on him and taught him to read. He read everything that he could of and after reading a story about the Pacific Ocean, had a dream of seeing the ocean and tasting the salt water. At the age of 15, George ran away from the orphanage, making his way west. He spent time in Rapid City, SD, working on a farm and when the urge hit him again, headed West ending up in Cheyenne, Wy. There he got a job working in a hotel restaurant and meeting the owner's daughter. They were eventually married and started their family. Again, the urge to see the Ocean came upon him and he moved his family west. He eventually settled in a small town in Eastern Washington, bought a hotel and raised his 5 children there. Years later, he went to Portland to rescue his oldest daughter and made a trip to Cannon Beach, Oregon. He was able to see Haystack Rock, and taste the salty water of the Pacific Ocean. He returned to Eastern Washington with his daughter and new grandson feeling like he had accomplished his goal of seeing the Ocean.
