Christmas Eve in a Mining Camp Doll Miracle
In a Rocky Mountain camp forty years ago a girl waits by a fire with a St Bernard as two starving miners, Miner Bob and a companion, hide plans to spare her. They trade their last five potatoes for a doll crafted from red flannel, freezing storm outside, the child blissfully believes Santa Claus delivered it through the window. The miners justify their deed as protection of the child’s joy, and the tale ends with the camp’s fragile happiness after the blizzard and hunger.
