Excerpt from Forestfield: A Story of the Old South (in Two Periods)

Toward the south lay the broad and cultivated fields in virgin freshness, deep of soil and inexhaustible, where in the proper season the luxuriant corn, tossing its tasseled plumes in the breeze, smote its dark-green leaves together and rejoiced, where the soft-leaved cotton, waving its ban ners of morning-white and evening-red to the sun, smiled to its neighboring fields, while the golden wheat, bending beneath the burden of its wealth, rippled before the wind like a restless lake bathed in the saffron sunlight of de parting day.
