First sentence: "During the French and Indian war, when the red man, in merciless rage, scalped for bounty--on a lovely summer's evening, when the trees, the golden flowers, and the green waving grass, all seemed to echo back the evening song of the birds in their homeward flight, strange though it may seem that ever care or anxiety should have been banished from the mind at such a fearful time--yet I remember my heart was light."
Includes 4 woodcuts.
