Betsy unwrapped a frame of birch bark branches surrounding a document. Betsy went closer to the light. “Lot 72 along Rock Street, Owner: Mrs. McKillip.”“What do you mean by this John?” “Mrs. Betsy McKillip you are the owner of Lot 72, two hundred acres across Rock Street, John said. “Enough acres that you will be able to vote!” “You’ve got a point there Mr. McKillip. If I own property, I can vote! We won’t go telling them its where we graze the herd of cows who leave their droppings.” “We’ll not tell them the soil is enriched every day by their daily toil of chewing cud. It’s been a long time overdue." https://bookshop.org/books/if-trees-could-talk-paperback-edition/9781736767726
