Brinkman, Grover

Abstract:

Before electric heaters, country farms were heated by wood stoves. Brinkman writes about a day in his childhood when his family's wood stove blew up. Describing a forgetful hired hand named Red, Brinkman tells how a few forgotten rifle bullets ended up in the wood stove. This caused the explosion.
