Talk about a days outing. can you
imagine the courage Of family that,
even before the government surveyors
had finished a map of the country and
before the locomotive and telephone
were heard of, that would wind its
way through the unbrOken forest in
an OK cart, with no trace Of a road,
and camp under some stately oak with
the nearest neighbOr some 6 or miles
away, save that of the red-faced hunt
er and his innumerabIe flock of wild
animals, until the cabin could be cree
ted and then dedicate the remaining
years to the task of hewing down the
forest for the benefit of the coming
generations?
