There was as much as a thousand people there from twenty mile around.

The woods was full of teams and wagons, hitched everywheres, feeding out of the wagon-troughs and stomping to keep off the flies.

There was sheds made out of poles and roofed over with branches, where they had lemonade and gingerbread to sell, and piles of watermelons and green corn and such-like truck.
The preaching was going on under the same kinds of sheds, only they was bigger and held crowds of people.

The benches was made out of outside slabs of logs, with holes bored in the round side to drive sticks into for legs.

They didn't have no backs.
