Kristin Palm

from The Straits

 

City, your prairies are bordered by apple trees and masses of heavy, clustered vines. Also oak, pine, walnut, ash and cotton. You are sustained by the trading of furs, the harvesting of apples, distilleries, logging, fishing, cement.

 

(On 7 October 1701 a crop
of winter wheat was sown.)
