Sam Minney and the Bridge Rescue in New Rochester
Sam Minney, a restless wanderer with a mixed past, saves a girl stranded on a drifting bridge in White River country. He drags her to shore, sacrifices himself to keep her safe, and drowns after tying himself to a tree to hold the bridge while rescuing the child. The town mourns as a funeral procession honors a man described as both a failure and a hero.
