Description
"For the light in the forest is love..." Do you remember the Disney movie? I remember the tune, but not much about the film. Saw this tree last week in Oregon, doubled back with the intent of making this image. Sometimes we get lucky...
Here's the story: The Light in the Forest is a novel first published in 1953 by U.S. author Conrad Richter. Though it is a work of fiction and primarily features fictional characters, the novel incorporates several real people with facts from U.S. history.
A 1958 feature film adaptation of the same name was produced by Walt Disney Productions and starred Fess Parker, Joanne Dru, James MacArthur and Wendell Corey.
The film's song title was written by Lawrence Edward Watkin, Paul J. Smith and Hazel "Gil" George.
A young white boy named Johnny Butler is taken captive and raised by the Delaware Indians in the 1700s. Released as a teenager, he must learn to live in the unfamiliar culture of his birth - and come to terms with white prejudice, family issues, and his own personal identity.

Thank you Lenore! I drove by this tree, went about a mile, turned around and came back. This is about what my mind was seeing...
