# The story is about the actual founding of the future Maple Grove by [[Joseph Amos Henderson|Joseph Henderson]] the grandson of [[Jakob Henderson]].
# This story begins at a location on a small dirt road. He has been traveling on his land holdings all morning and has stopped at a beautiful site with access to the river and a stand of good timber. The open meadow is large and would need little work to build a homestead and small farm.
# As he walks the area he sees a small cabin and investigates. Here he meets a squatter named Frenchy LaRoach and his woman (unnamed).
