Gopher Hunt and a Tennessee Romance Folklore Tale
A long fragment narrates a gopher hunt in Sylvania with a dramatic chase and rescue by a young man who later courts a heroine. It shifts to a Memphis tale of a druggist who aids a dying Tennessee trader named Payne revealing a long past elopement and murder. The piece includes era ad language and multiple Civil War era references.
