"As the sun was settling in the trees the blurred images of Thomas and his cousin Phillip could be seen in the distance approaching home after a day of working in the woods for the local mill. Two deer cautiously watched as they quietly emerged from the bush. Were these travelers really there or were they images from the past? Having purchased food supplies from the old general store, they packed their sleigh for the trip and pulled it behind them, back to the cabin. It was hungry work and the thought of a hot dinner by the warm fire, carefully tended by Thomas’ wife Anne was all they really wanted. It was an age before the conveniences of modern life clouded the challenges of nature and a time when foolish mistakes could have dire consequences in this unforgiving land."
