A Tale of New York in 1800 in the Mountains
A winter night in 1800 New York frontier mood unfolds as John and his wife prepare for a village trip while a neighbor Hiram Oswood drops by. Parson Stanley settles a debt, plans for a future log house loom, and fears of hostile Indians mix with warmth by the fire. The scene shifts to a morning departure and a tense watch for news or danger as the wife listens at the roadside.
