What happened here
An account from the chapter on Green township. The inset identifies its exact source book and publication year.
The Wounded Deer
Mr. Davee had his dog so trained that the dumb brute seemed almost capable of reason. One day the hunter shot and wounded a deer, which ran off through the woods at full speed. Away went the dog in pursuit, followed as fast as possible by its master. Drops of blood could be seen upon the leaves, showing that the deer had been badly hurt.
