Excerpt from The Great Northwestern Sanitary FairAmong these wagons which had drawn up near the rooms of the Sanitary Commission to unload their stores, was one pecu liar for its exceeding look of poverty, it was worn and mended, and was originally made merely of poles. It was drawn by three horses which had seen much Of life, but little grain. The driver was a man past middle age, with the clothes and look of one who had toiled hard, but he had a thoughtful and kindly face. He sat there quietly waiting his turn to unload. By his side, with feet over the front of the wagon, for it was filled very full, was his wife, a silent, worn-looking woman (many of these men had their wives with them on the loads) near the rear of the wagon was a girl of fifteen, perhaps, and her sister, dressed in black, carrying in her arms a little child.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
