"The Button String"

2019 BOM
"Christmas In The Big Woods"


"...In the other stocking was the Button String.  When Carrie saw it, her eyes and her mouth grew round.  She squealed and grabbed it and squealed again.  She sat on Pa's knee and looked at her candy and Button String.  She wriggled and laughed with joy.  Laura and Mary were glad they had worked so hard on the Button String..."

Gunpowder

Ichabod's Steed

"...Gunpowder, Ichabod's Steed was a broken-down plow horse that had outlived almost everything but his viciousness.  He was gaunt and shaggy, with a ewe neck and a head like a hammer.  In his day he must have had fire and mettle, if we may judge from the name he bore of Gunpowder"
