But soon misfortune came to us, as you will all soon hear,
It was the month of January, just twelve days from New Year,
When Charlie came and told us that our camp had burned down,
That our clothing and our bedding laid in ashes on the ground.
"The Burning of Henry K Robinson's Camp in 1873"; writen at the logging
camp by a teamster named Henry Thompson; Minstrelsy of Maine; Fannie
Eckstorm; 1927
