Excerpt from The Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 44: March 1, 1909A crowd of men were standing before the little log meeting-house on the Big Blue. It was Sunday, as you could see by the tidied appear ance of them all, and meeting had just let out. In a pioneer district, such as western Missouri was in 1833, everything gets itself talked over on the front steps of the meet ing - house, if it has front steps, or on the sunny side in the winter time - but almost never in the meet ing-house. And so it being a fine October morning, these men had come out to exchange views.Not over a trivial matter, either. There was no farmer Jones present to inquire about farmer Owen's sick cow and to prescribe fresh remedy. Nor had anybody come here to swap horses. Not a man in that crowd believed in bargaining on the Sab bath day. A weightier matter bore down on the minds of these hardy frontiersmen.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
