Excerpt from The Boy Settler: Or Terry in the New West
Such was the tune lustily sung by young Terry Richards, trudging, whip in hand and big boots on feet, at the fore wheel Of the wagon.
It was a large, white-hooded wagon, drawn by two oxen, one red, the other spotted. The red ox was Buck, the spotted ox Of course was Spot. Framed in the puckered front end Of the wagon hood was Sitting Terry's mother; and the wagon was stuffed full Of household furniture and Of provisions and farming material, ending with a chicken-coop hung at the rear. Behind followed the Old mare and her colt, with Terry's father riding the mare. And at Terry's heels paced Shep; good Old Shep, the black shaggy dog.
