The Dreadful Night of Love and Courage
A young wife endures a brutal snowstorm waiting for her husband. She braves the cold, searches the drifts, and reunites with him after saving each other from death in a lonely Canadian plain. The tale shifts to Vermont politics with Governor Chittenden, showing rustic farmer hospitality and a humorous royal-water experiment.
Temperance Test and Audubon Tale From A Midwestern Page
A humorous reminiscence recalls a 19th century political campaign in Persimmon County during the Maine law era where a candidate feigns temperance by offering whiskey and is outed by a bottle of ginger extract. It also recounts Audubon’s near-miss with a red headed woodpecker, ending with a cautionary joke about snakes. The excerpt closes with a poem about a mother aging and spiritual hope.
