The Farmer's Daughter #2
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe issue contains two stories. In the first, a farmer's daughter attracts the attention of city salesmen visiting the countryside, leading to romantic entanglements involving the farmer, the sheriff, and a dog that saves lives during a runaway tractor incident, ultimately winning the farmer's daughter's affection. The second story, "Gig McCoy: Around the Cracker Barrel," features a Civil War veteran recounting how his father was so full of bullets from combat that medics placed him in an ammunition wagon instead of a regular ambulance, a humorous tall tale about his father's remarkable recovery from his wounds.
When an escaped convict forces his way into a farmhouse and swaps clothes with a hapless neighbor, the Farmer's Daughter finds herself in a desperate race against time—because the sheriff's already on the scene, guns blazing, and he can't tell the real criminal from the innocent man now wearing a convict's stolen outfit. With bullets flying and confusion mounting, she'll have to think fast to save the day before the wrong person gets hurt.
A young stranger shows up at the farm claiming Amy is his dream-girl, and when he proposes marriage on the spot, her father sees dollar signs—but the real trouble starts when the city boy insists on taking his bride to New York instead of staying put on the farm. It's a collision of country values and city ambitions played for laughs, as Orville and Amy's father fight to keep her from leaving, with chaos and gunplay erupting at every turn.
Gig McCoy swaps tall tales with the fellas around the cracker barrel, each one spinning increasingly outlandish stories about their fathers' incredible feats—from outrunning storms to catching tree limbs on the way down. When it's Gig's turn, he tops them all with a yarn about his own pappy's stubbornness, proving that no injury can keep a determined man down.
A young woman heads to the city to buy a fashionable dress that'll make her father and brother sit up and take notice, but her plans for a perfect homecoming hit a snag when her new outfit goes missing on the way back to the farm. What was supposed to be a carefully orchestrated surprise turns into something entirely different—though perhaps not in the way she imagined.
