Abstract
Three sections from an unidentified work by one of the Nelson brothers largely concerning the settlement of the fictional Forest Continent. The work begins with a fragment describing the settlement of Forest Continent. The story picks up at the end of a conflict between Long Continent and Big Continent and the settling of Forest Continent. John Little and Samuel Green lead an expedition to check on the settlement and they discover only a few remaining colonists who they lead to the coast and New Poplington. Later, New Poplington is purchased by Ethan Allen of Big Continent. This is followed by chapter 2, titled "United Division. Other Settlements," which tells of the roles of Burt Green (sometimes referred to as Birt), Ethan Allen and William Little on Forest Continent after its colonization by Big Continent, Long Continent and Round Continent. This chapter describes in detail the land holdings and trade between the three major areas on the new Forest Continent. Chapter 3 titled, "The Blacks. Their Tribes and Customs," describes the history of "the blacks" on Forest Continent and the conflict and battle between them and the settlers. The chapter ends abruptly and appears to be unfinished.
