Laura's Runaway Plan Ends In Closet Scare
A Fort Seat Missouri tale recounts Laura planning elopement with Jack. Her mother exposes the scheme by locking Laura in a closet with Jack hidden inside. Morning discovery yields shock and a startling vow to prevent the marriage amid family conflict. The piece shifts to military tone and various Civil War era anecdotes, including Fort Buford and a sentinel exchange, ending with scattered vignettes on independence and enslaved labor.
