Crooked Furrow (Sandy Spring Museum Legacy Collection)

By Thomas Y. Canby

Everyone liked Yellott, the modest, mannerly farmer who'd married the shapely college-taught wife. And because Yellott was forthright and unaffected, people trusted him. "He plows a straight furrow," they liked to say. They knew others who didn't. Maybe his son Tommy. Tommy grew into Tom and swaggered out into the world. Neighbors, uneasy with the crooked furrow he trailed, watched him as they would watch a circus tightrope walker—expectant as he teetered, curious to see him either balance or fall. The tale that follows responds to that morbid curiosity.
