To the editor of the OBSERVER:
| OzARK, Ark, Oct. 18th, 1879.
My last letter was written at
White Mound, Grayson county,
Texas. After an attack of fever,
which kept me in bed from July
Sd till Nov. 18th, 1873, / met an
old companion with whom / tray-
eled from Los Angeles to La
Paz in 1868. He was making a
complete tour of the Lone Star
State, and being cordially invited
to join him / did SO with aIacrity.
Ny friend being provided with a
hack and span Of excellent hor-
ses we set out, our course being
South. We passed through
Collin, Hunt, Hill, Kaufman,
Robertson, Brazos and several
more counties, until we came to
the Gulf. On our way South,
we went seyenty-two miles be-
fore we came to running water
the Trinity river. The whole
distance was an inclined plane.
The scenery was a little monoto-
nous-black, waxy land, sandy
land, prail.ies slightly undulating,
interspersed with tree-islands-
the same day after day-no new
features, no mountains, no cas-
cades, no clear water, but turbid,
sluggish streams, bordered with
swamps and marshes. The resi-
dences are generally frame bull
dings, long, low and with but
little pretensions toward archi-
tectural beauty or artistic finish. |
The water is frequently mixed |
with salt and copperas, which
it very nauseating. ALI
