Another story set in Tucker’s Grove, with time travel, dinosaurs, and a lonely old farmer. This is a very vivid tale for me, and I can picture every scene perfectly, and the character is drawn from an ancient, widowed farmer who lived next door from us, Mr. Reindahl. As a boy, I would run across the hayfields and keep him company, climb the big box elder tree in his front yard, and listen to his stories. I spent a summer helping him bale hay (which was really hard work!). All that time, I didn’t know I was collecting ingredients for stories. (Another story later in this collection, “Heroes Never Die,” was also influenced by old Mr. Reindahl.)
