Edwin Bolton and the Panther

The Cougar, Mountain Lion, Puma and Panther are names for the same Large Mountain Cat.

"One day Edwin Y. Bolton went to the woodpile to chop some wood. His son saw him standing there with his ax on his shoulder.

A few minutes later the lad saw that his father hadn’t moved but was standing as still as a statue. He went over to his father and saw before them a panther, ready to spring. Edwin couldn’t take his eyes off the animal. No word was spoken but the tension in the air was keen. Finally, the panther “slunk” away and was gone.
