New Year Horse Trade Sparks Vermont Gambit in Taverns
A long tale of a traveler in a rural tavern on the last day of December 185a follows his attempt to buy a fine five year old bay colt. Jem Saltum presses a high price, trades back and forth, and the narrator finally acquires the horse for six hundred dollars, which proves valuable and later sells for far more as a top trotter. The narrative blends local color and 19th century horse trading intrigue with a vivid portrait of tavern life and barroom talk.
