Excerpt from Theophilus Trent: Old Times in the Oak OpeningsT was late afternoon. A red September sun was just setting the Michigan woods afire. It had also kindled the two front windows of a neat log dwelling facing a little green with criss - crosses of wagon-tracks that everybody made at his own sweet will.A log store with a bilious - looking sign over the bat tened door, an old potash-kettle careened beside it, fiounces of gaudy, freckled calico draping the windows; a log smithy with its roof half slipped off behind and its wide mouth of an entrance, as if an ill-conditioned tramp of a house should sit down by the wayside to yawn; a squat log schoolhouse like a sitting hen staring back at the log dwelling with its shining eyes,-such was the picture.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
