Book Description
Excerpt from Recollections of Frontier Life When I can first recollect (through the'perseverance and enterprise of a Yankee Colony that settled there in 17 99) it was dotted all over with neat dwellings and good gardens, producing every variety of vegetables and flowers that the mind could well conceive, yielding not only plenty but an abundance to the diligent hand. While these bluffs were covered with a variety of timber, wild fruit and flowers. The timber consisted of elm, ash, hickory, walnut and sugar-maple, from which the early settlers made a great quantity of sugar and molasses, a great luxury I assure you, at that time. The fruit consisted of grapes, blackberries, crab-apples, 'paupaus, dewberries, and many others. There was a great variety of wild flowers, from the gorgeous white and purple flower of the dog wood and the pink flush of the red-bud tree, to the tiny violet, arrayed in its modest robe of blue and white. (how beautiful is this tiny flower in its simplicity and humility, sending forth its rich perfume through the air, while growing so humbly at our feet.) Here I was allowed to ramble at pleasure through these scenes of romance and beauty, constantly attended by my brother, who was two years older than myself, and sometimes a number of boys and girls would join us in our rambles over the bluffs and through the lovely valley. We have often Spent half a day at a time in one of these rambles. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
