Excerpt from The Vagabond You of the East know the house, a type of the first quarter of the late century, as do you of the West who have retraced your own or your father's brave migratory steps. It stands some distance back from the road, repelling gossip with passers-by, a monument to a man who invited an early grave for the sake of his posterity. Firs and elms shade the porch where the builder never sat except on warm Sunday afternoons, when he rested by worrying about the crops. If it is in good repair, then either all the sons have not been scattered by the four winds of industrial change or some "hired man" of Jim Rawkins's type has had his turn at grubbing the hill-side for a rise in the world.
