Coffin Down the Wood Chute Ends Grim Alpine Burial
In a remote highland contract, two woodsmen load the corpse of John Brown into a rough coffin and attempt to bury him after a night of storm. They lower the casket down a half mile long wood chute, crash the coffin, recover the body, haul to a grave, and finally inter it as his widow laments and a hesitant prayer ends the ordeal. The tale blends frontier toil with stark, perilous nature.
