In this Seattle Star excerpt from 1922, Jack o Lantern laments fame past and current neglect as Nick and Nancy seek Mother Goobie’s broom. The pumpkin recalls festive nights and parades before Halloween ends, hinting at a quirky, ongoing continuation.
In 1849 Betsy Jane Wallace is born in Oregon City and soon travels with her family to Olympia. The Wallace father’s roving spirit leads them from Portland’s stump town to a growing Olympia as Col. Ebey visits. Betsy Jane grows up in a shifting frontier world near Puget Sound.
In a narrative set near Olympia and Whidby Island, a family seeks land claims and a new life while facing hostility from American-born Japanese and racially charged insults.

The excerpt shows wartime fiction with a biblical locusts motif and a continuation where Jenkins informs Hammond that Jack is jailed in Connell to shield him from a possible mob. They discuss Jap intelligence and deciding how to proceed, weighing risks of repeating past actions.
