The Battle of Trenton in a Poetic Frame
A verse narrative describes the night battle at Trenton with imagery of ice and storm, soldiers marching, and a Hessian captain awaiting dawn. A ship reaches shore as a girl presents a flower and a lock symbolizing peace after feuds. A youth lies slain clutching a flag and a flower tied to a golden hair. Margaret Ridgely Schott.

Dutch gardener saves Fourth with Brule help in Valentine
Jan Ochsenbrandt, a Holland immigrant near Valentine, Nebraska, tends a remarkable garden in Brule Sioux country. When drunks plot a Brule massacre, Jan and ally Full Moon rig a firecracker blockade in a canyon, scaring off raiders and earning peace and a future marriage chance with Little Goat. The bold plan yields a bloodless victory and a festive Fort Niobrara Fourth of July.
