LITTLE HOUSE IN
THE BIG WOODS
once upon a time, sixty years ago, a
little girl lived in the Big Woods of
Wisconsin, in a little gray house made
of logs.
The great, dark trees of the Big Woods
stood all around the house, and beyond them
were other trees and beyond them were more
trees. As far as a man could go to the north in
a day, or a week, or a whole month, there was
nothing but woods. There were no houses.
