Summary
Set in Ohio during the autumn of 1862, the story begins amid the Civil War, when the region feels the effects of enlistment, rumor, and wartime change. A barefoot young traveler on a country road near Cleveland is drawn into a violent encounter when he hears a woman cry for help and finds her being dragged through a hedge-row by an armed assailant. The episode establishes a tense, outdoor setting and introduces a rescue that involves both the traveler and the frightened woman.
