Sam Lawson is a Character in "Sam Lawson's Oldtown fireside stories" (and perhaps another Oldtown book) by Harriet Beecher Stowe.

The book is long out of copyright and may be read online in many places, including here: http://www.archive.org/details/samlawsonold00stowrich

A passage beginning on page 141 of the book "The Cambridge Companion to Harriet Beecher Stowe" By Cindy Weinstein refers to the character Lawson. The passage was available on July 3, 2009 on books.Google.com at
