1865 Dark

[L Verge]

My daughter lives in a modern development about a half-mile from the pine thicket. None of her streets have lights. I find it hard to sleep at her house because it is so dark. I was raised without street lights in the country, but I have lived with them for the past 45 years. Especially today, it's nice to have a little light shining in the darkness.

The candle wax marks on Booth's compass surely indicates that he would have loved to have had a flashlight.
