Agustin went to Grandview, Idaho in 1925, where his father and some other Basque men owned sheep.  He attended school there for a few months, then watched over the camps and finally went out as a herder.  There were many dangers to this lifestyle, which Agustin describes.  Even though he often thought of home, he would not get the chance to go back for a visit until 30 years later.  He discusses his jobs over the years at length.

Agustin married Miren in 1950, and raised 2 children, Rosalie and Jim.  By this time, he was already a US citizen, and took pride in voting. He bought a farm in Marsing, which his family owns to this day.  Agustin spent most of his life socializing with other Idaho Basques.
