An isolated rider in northern Indiana seeks shelter during a thunderstorm and meets an aged, dying man in a log cabin. The elder recounts a life of poverty, lost love, westward flight for Mary, frontier massacre, revenge, and eventual forgiveness before dying. The narrator ends by burying the man and reflecting on faith and memory.
