Beneath the elm where his friend was murdered, Edgar Huntly finds another man digging in the dark, weeping, and fast asleep. The pursuit of that sleepwalker carries him out past the last farm into the caves and thickets of the Pennsylvania frontier, and then he wakes in blackness at the bottom of a pit, parched and bruised, with no memory of having walked there.

The incidents of Indian hostility, and the perils of the Western wilderness, are far more suitable
Edgar Huntly, Charles Brockden Brown

The blurb, the gist, the why of the day and the work itself are in the app. The first button needs it on this device; the second gets it there.
