Excerpt from Four Boys: Or the Story of a Forest Fire
Darak Edwards was mad "clean through." Like all youths who live to reach the age of seventeen years, he had his share of provocations, trials, and exasperating incidents, but never had his soul been so stirred and wrought up by anger as on this day in early summer, when he discovered that he had been the victim of one of the meanest tricks of which human ingenuity is capable.
And I am quite sure that you will agree with me that if ever a young man was justified in giving way to boiling indignation, Darak Edwards was that same young man. Let me explain the whole matter.
Darak"s father was one of the pioneers of Minnesota, having just settled there previous to the frightful Sioux outbreak of 1862.
