Downing and Secession Tales From an Old Pond Log Tale
Fragmented reminiscence recounts Major Downing asking the president about his message to Congress, followed by a long rural anecdote of Downingville log boys at Sebago pond. The tale describes a windy voyage, disputes over which log side to row, and Bill Johnson threatening to cut lashings and ride a log solo as the others struggle to stay together.
