Evening Shadows and a Rural Farce From Mt. Vernon
A poem from Mt. Vernon North Carolina dated October 1885 opens with prayers for sleep and protection from turmoil. The text shifts to a rustic anecdote about a butter-peddler recounting a neighbor’s gin troubles and a jealous husband chase, ending with a dramatic stall in the road as two lovers reunite at a hill near their kin’s house.
