| Having heard much regarding the
Frances Slocum trail 1 followed it
from Peru. That is, did so as soon
as was able to locate it!
The Chamber Of Commerce deems
the trail of sufficient Importance for
the distribution of folders but the
city fathers have failed to place
sign posts within the city limits
and as the folder is very misleading
one has to do considerable inquir1ng
before a successful start on the trail
Is made.
AS directed in the folder, 1 started
from the Chamber Of Commerce Of
fices and hiked south on Broadway
and across the bridge which spans
the Wabash.
The folder does not mention a
turn and I therefore continued
south, looking for "the brick house
with the cedars in front" which the
folders state is the winter quarters
of the circuses. After hiking sew
eral blocks and finding house with
cedars in front which looked like a
modern home rather than circus
quarters I realized [ was on the
wrong road, threw away the folder
and stopped to inquire. [ was direct
ed back several blocks and told to
turn at a corner which is conspicu-
Gus for its lack of signs.
