Christmas at Battleroad A North Country Christmas Memory
In a Virginia Valley style reminiscence Bart recalls a stormy journey home for Christmas. The family gathers in the log house to share a tree gift haul including a silver watch and a blue suit cloth. Old Kate the Silent Woman receives charity and warmth, while Bart learns the value of generosity as Uncle Peabody and Aunt Deel foster community.
