Widow Amesy saves man from quicksand after fall
In a Thanksgiving tale Widow Amesy, a strong, kindhearted benefactor, crawls along a tree limb to rescue Mr. Adoniram Jimson from a quagmire, breaking her own safety with heroic effort. The doctor mocks the scene, Jimson heals, and the widow’s home is rebuilt in time for a communal housewarming Thanksgiving feast led by Squire Wobbs and townspeople.
