Excerpt from Theophilus Trent: Old Times in the Oak Openings T 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.
