"Look to the Mountain" by Le Grand Cannon, Jr. follows the frontier settlement of Whit Livingston and his wife Melissa in colonial New England. After Whit hears news of a man from Kettleford and breaks it to Melissa in a tavern, she experiences conflicting emotions upon learning his identity. The narrative traces their isolated life together through winter and spring, including Whit's survival efforts after capsizing in an icy river and his subsequent care for Melissa, as well as their interactions with neighboring settlers like hunter Hez Hackett and their preparations for trade with oxen.
