Toward Tomorrow and a Morning Bridegroom

An excerpt contrasts a wedding day scene with a farsighted tale of horse trading comic dialogue. A couple’s betrothal frames the day while a shop foreman and a stubborn buyer banter over a horse price in rustic dialogue.

The Beverly Hermit John Henry Wiggin and kinfolk

A Boston Traveler account details John Henry Wiggin known as the Hermit of Beverly Massachusetts for thirty-eight years. He lived in a pine grove shelter with a four foot diameter circular pit, wore worn waxed clothing, drifted up to seventy miles, and claimed ties to a Danvers clergyman. A Cincinnati visitor traced a possible brother named John Comstock, leading to a reunion offer and a fortune of 15 000 dollars. The piece also covers a Danish birth, legal studies, and a life of rambling, fishing, and avoidance of work, ending with a dramatic tale of a mercy mission that failed to alter his isolation.
