AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Set in the Alleghany Mountains (USA?) in the late 1700s, an old man's isolated cabin attracts some locally camped British soldiers who hear his tale of betrayal and a daughter's seduction. The old man recognises one of the officers and kills them both in a leap over the neighbouring cliff. Brief; slight. (PB)
