The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1889-04-16

IF they have the good luck to live west OF
the Missouri River, they know what was
the vessel in which u pretty heroine
was embarked. It was a strongly built
wagon, not very different from any other
large four-wheeled car in its "hull," but
attracting the notice of all eyes by its
long, broad, white canvas cover, which
was indeed a tent stretched on large ash
hoops. fastened to the sides of the wagon.
The country butchers wagon of u day
is a miniature emigrants wagon, but that
the top should swell vi on each side, and
project over the drivers seat IN front, and
far back beyond the rear of the cart itself.
1t will easily be seen that such projections
gave additional shelter from the sun and
from the rain. Under the seats OF this
roomy wagon every sort of store was
crowded. There must be something
from day to day for the horses who drew
the machine, and for those which were
ridden by the boys, for they might come
to places where there would be neither
grazing nor corn nor grain to be bought.
For the rest, every essential which the
experience of the earlier settlers had sug-
gested, which would be needed in the
building up of the new home on the
Muskingum, was packed away somewhere,
Of these stores, Cephas Titcomb, the
father was the nominal steward, but in
fact, dear Mrs. Titcomb knew better than
he did where this or that could be found,
from a horseshoe round to a Bible, if
there should be a sudden demand. The
wheels were quite high, and space was
thus given under the wagon for singing
several boxes or trunks from the axle
trees. Rifles and shot-guns, with one or
two pistols, and Cephas Titcomb's old
cavalry sabre, hung from hooks on the
right and left, above the heads of the wo-
men as they sat in the wagon. At night,
by simple enough process, the body Of
the wagon became a bed, on which the
"women-folk" slept, arranging their
places according to size or other conven-
fence. For the men, they spread bearskins or
wolfskins, having the shelter of the wagon
to creep under if the night should be
rainy, or, as sometimes happened as they
crossed the higher ridges, if the now
were falling. When morning came, the
frying-pan and tea-kettle were lifted down
from the hooks on which they hung, and
the fire in the open air made by the ear
Hest boy, was ready to prepare the hot
water for the invariable cup of tea, and

We'd with each oiher in showing in how

the world-renowned skill Of their mother.

of food, Essex county, which these travel
ers were leaving forever, will always be
the central shrine of it's most sacred
worship.
No, Emma, no Lilly, this story cannot
last forever, like a Chinese comedy, as
you and l would be glad to have it. So
that if you wan to know where they
washed their hands every morning, when
they walked and when they rode, when
one side-saddle was fitted for Sarah, or
when she and the boys tramped on far in
advance over muddy roadwaysr you must
call up some spirit by the hands Of a sue
cessful medium, or you must bur1ow in
the old chest, where are left the diaries
and letters of a generation now forgotten.
We must hurry on and bring them to
their destiny; for I will confess to you
here that they were not drowned as they
crossed the Hudson, they were not MUIR
dered in Jersey, they did not die of scar
let fever in Bethlehem, they were not
poisoned at Allenstown, they were not
caught under a snow drift and frozen to
death on the crest of the Alleghanies, and
they did not die of despair when they
came to the western waters, and found
them too low for navigation. Here is
just one little scrap from a letter of Sarah's
to her Aunt Huldah which you may read
first, Emma, and then you may pass it
over to Lilly, and that shall be all the de-
tail of the long Journey.
SARAH PARIS TO HULDAH WHITMAN.
M Dear Aunt HuIdah:
I would write at the top of my letter,
in the true epistolary style, where l am,
if I only knew. But all that I do know
is that we have crossed what they call the
water shed, and are well o. the western
side of the famous Allegheny Mountains.
And | know this-that last night the boys
were talking Dutch with the children of
a Dutchman who lives at a place which is
called Stillings. But what his anne is,
dear aunt, I do not know. So now you
are as wise as | am. We have had a
funny adventure with the Dutchman's
dog, and 1 will tell you this first of all,
! though it is not very important. He had
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1889-04-16

the boys are very eager that I shall ride,
and some days | have ridden all the way.
We have a side saddle for me and for
Miriam, but she rather prefers what she
calls the luxury of the wagon. We make
a long halt in the middle of the day, for
the sun is beginning to be hot, and it is
better for the beasts. This gives a chance
for the COWS to come up, and for the boys
to go off for their shooting. In fact, both
my boys are away now; | hear every
now and then the crack Of their guns, so
I shall be quite ashamed of them if they
do not bring US in a rabbit or two for our
supper. We have a good deal Of time
for our reading, and it will quite surprise
you to know how learned we are begin
ming to be. Do you know, dear aunt,
that your dear Mr.. Cowper can be quite
as jolly as he can be sorry. Miriam has
brought with her a newspaper, in which
there is the funniest song, or sort of bal
lad, rather, that you I'VE did see. It is
about the adventures of a man who went
out on a frolic with his wife, and never
came near her from the minute they
started from his house in London, because
his horse ran away with him. She will
give me a copy of it, and | will send it to
you when we come to the Muskingum.
When that will be, l will not
And here the reader must give up this
little day day gossip for, alas, the
long yellow page has given way here, by
much folding backwards and forwards, as
different loving descendants have read
the story, and so we are not able to print
the autograph of Sarah Paris, in the
nineteenth year of her age, as we should
be glad to do.
But a good geographer who chooses to
plot on the map of Pennsylvania the
route which they were following, from
such hints as he can get from the diaries
of other emigrants, and from this story
about the Dutchman, will see that they
were nearly at their land journeys end.
1t wa not many days after Sarah had
written this letter, before they came out
on the Monongahela River, the same
which, in her grandfather days, had been
made famous when a certain George
Washington covered the retreat OF the
troops of a certain General Braddock.
Our friends, however, were not to march
down to the bottom land on the side Of
the Monongahela, but were to build for
themselves here an ark of safety" which
was to float them the rest of the way.
Here. therefore, a camp was made, while
Mr.. Titcomb, and one or two of the men
who went with him, with some other
pioneers from Old Newbury-men all OF
them skiIlful in woodcraft, indeed, in
ship-building, should frame and build the
boat which took its name from Noah's, in
which they were to complete their voyage.
For the women and children, this fort
night in July, spent under canvas in a de-
licous climate, wa rest after the fatigue
of travelling, and rest with a sort OF feel
ing that they were back in the shepherd
life again. Our modern life knows no
such harbors in the midst of our daily
