Thrilling Maine tavern scene ends with night of danger
In a Maine country town in December 1834 a group of townsmen gathered at Thomas Putman’s store for a smoke and a high stakes card game. Four men sat on powder kegs, sparking a near deadly blaze, but Putman extinguished the fire with water, averting an explosion. The tale shifts to a moral on women’s work and the value of practical trades.
