Excerpt from A Story of Nancy Hanks
Under a huge forest tree that stood near the edge of a little clearing in the Virginia backwoods, more than a hundred years ago, there sat a little girl. She was exploring with busy fingers the gnarled roots of the tree, over a hole in which there lay a smooth, flat stone. The stone seemed to serve as a rude cupboard door, for, pushing it aside, the little girl pulled from the hole a number of treasures which she proceeded to array neatly before her in a row.
