The Wilderness Homeward Tale of Rosa Osborne
Rosa Osborne lies near death in a wagon as her family crosses a western wilderness. Mr Osborne, his wife and sons struggle with fever and grief, recalling Edgar Ashton and a promise of return. A graveside vigil ends with Rosa laid beneath maple shade, a burial marked by wild violets, a star of memory, and a hopeful letter to her lover.
