Marryin a Widder and the Ute Fort, and How It Went
Nasby narrates his failed marriage to a farm widow in Kentucky. He describes his lifelong reluctance to work and the brutal start on her 200 acre farm, where she asserts dominance, breaking him physically and eventually leaving him penniless after mortgage and inheritance.
