Excerpt from John Gray: A Kentucky Tale of the Olden Time

It was an easy path to stumble in, being one of those wagon-tracks that wound mysteriously away under the dark-green forests of Kentucky and through the pale-green thickets of tall, reed-like cane, ringed with delicate purple-blossoming pea-vine. An easy path to stumble in, with huge stumps to be ridden around, and the loops and ends of roots to be avoided. And the horse was so old, so fat, so lazy, that ho liked better to stumble and take the consequences than to be at the trouble to lift up his feet.
