Description
On a chilly day, a woman pulls her rocker up close to an open fire in the hearth and takes advantage of the light coming in through a narrow window to work on her embroidery. The setting is Fort Atkinson, Nebraska, a military fort active for less than 10 years in about 1820. The woman is a living history re-enactor, assuming the role of an officer's wife.
