Cedar Copse in "Ambuscade"|The Unvanquished in The Unvanquished (Location)

A group of Eastern red cedar trees, an evergreen tree with a fragrant heartwood. Though this copse of trees may be a natural occurrence, cedars were often planted in cemeteries as well. This copse is described as "cool and shady" (24), and it appears to provide the boys a place from which they can watch the road without fear of being seen but is within sight of the kitchen from which Louvinia can watch the children.
