“In the distant future someone may relate — if anyone will listen to him — how his grandfather, as a small boy, used to go down to Payne Hollow when it was still a wilderness. There on the riverbank, in a house which they had made out of rocks and trees, lived a couple all by themselves. They planted a garden, kept goats, ate weeds and groundhogs and fish from the river, which in those days was full of fish. They never had to go to a store. The man worked with axe and hoe, without machines.
