This is one of my favorite scenes in A Land Remembered. It depicts the Fort Drum Christmas frolic where Zech and Glenda get to know each other better.
For several years we printed Christmas cards based on scenes from A Land Remembered. When I asked Dad what scene we should use, without hesitation he said “the Fort Drum Christmas frolic.” He even got a pad and pencil and roughly sketched the scene out as he saw it, with Zech MacIvey standing outside with his sweetheart Glenda Turner, and his horse Ishmael standing close by. I hired an artist to execute his sketch and here is the end result.
