Provenance:
in a letter from the donor she says: "Mr. Handy had a work horse named Minnie; she was very gentle. He hitched her up to his wood wagon and followed a road through the woods to an area where he felled trees, cut and split them into logs at his primitive "saw mill." At times, he would take some of us kids on the wagon. We would help him load and cut wood and bring it back to the cabins and stack it on the back porches. I remember my dad further splitting the logs for kindling. "
