Walter Brownfield Takes Farm Work In Preston Flat
Walter Brownfield, from Queenstown, takes a trial as a farm hand with Walter Miles at Preston Flat. He endures a grueling corn cutting lesson under John Miles, battling heat and fatigue but showing grit and a good command of speech that earns Uncle Dan’s cautious praise. Pinkey Miles notices him as he joins the work crew.
