Enchanted Mountain tracks and a tragic far West tale
Readable pieces recount Indian legends of the Enchanted Mountain in Georgia with mysterious animal tracks and possible Noahs flood links. A separate long narrative follows four students in an Eastern college discussing dying as one crafts a grim game of fate ending with Webber killing Black Wolf and his own death. A later passage reports a Decoration Day scene and an 1870 matrimonial advice letter full of social satire.

Remembering bygone days in green and pleasant places
The verse recalls summer skies and fair gardens with roses and violet dooks, recalling joyful days, landscapes, and moonlit rivers. It contrasts bright memories with December snows and weary hearts wandering through tangled mazes, dreaming of days past.
