"There Is No Place Like Home"
| View of a man sitting outdoors in a chair near the door of a log cabin in a clearing. He is smoking a pipe and reading. A lamp is hanging from the end of a rafter, and smoke is pouring out of the chimney at the back of the cabin. On the left side of the door is a chair laying on its side near a gun, and a cutting bench, also known as a "schnitzelbank," a word of German origin. At this time Carl Peterson was writing letters home to Christine Jenson about his journey. |
