Early Travels Through The GIades

out doubt, be accomplished just as
soon as the country is sufficiently in
habited, since there is no nearer way
to reach the Western waters.
"The next day we dined with Mr..
NJ. McCartin, still higher up in the
mountains. There are many settle
ments in this vicinity. We were en-
tertained in beautiful, cool, roomy
house, surrounded by oats fifelds and
rich meadows, where the sound of the
bells told US that cattle were pastur
ing nearby. We dined from delicate
china, had good knives, good forks,
spoons and other utensils. Our hos
tess, a bright, handsome, healthy
woman, waited upon us. After dinner,
a charming feminine guest arrived on
horseback; a young girl from the
neighboring farm, of perhaps fifteen
years of age, with such bashful eyes
and such rosy cheeks, so lovely and
attractive in manner that even Coop
ley, our good mathematician, could
not restrain his admiration.
"This is the 'backwoods' of America,
which the Philadelphia is pleased to
describe as q rough wilderness
while in many parts of Europe, in
Westphalia, in the whole of Hungary
and Poland, nowhere, is there a cot
tage to be found, which, taking all
things together in consideration of the
inhabitant, can be compared with the
one of which I have just written.
-Four miles from this we reached
the Glades, one Of the most remarka-
BILE features of these mountains, and
this land. These are broad stretches
of land of many thousand acres, COW
cred with dense forests; beyond this
there is not a tree to be found, but the
ground is covered knee-deep with grass
and herbs, where both the botanist
, and the cattle find delicious food. Many
| hundred head of cattle are driver
yearly from the South Branch anC
entrusted to the care of the people
who live here. What can be the cause
af this strange phenomenon! One
can only suppose that at one time
| these glades were covered with timber
| which, overthrown by mighty hurri
cane, gradually dried and fell into de-

eve breakfasted with Tim Friend
(Augustine Friend, he of Teens
Glade), hunter, who lived six miles
further on. If ever Adam existed he
must have looked like this Tim Friend.
1 never saw such an illustration of
perfect manhood. Large, strong and
brawny; every limb in magnificent
proportion, energy in every move
ment and strength in every muscle, his
appearance was the expression of
manly independence, contentment and
intelligence His conversation satisfied
the expectations which it awakened.
With gray beard, 60 years old, 40 of
which he had spent in the mountains,
and of an observing mind, he could not
find it difficult to agreeably entertain
people who visited for information.
He is a hunter by profession. We had
choice venison for breakfast and there
were around the house and nearby a
great number of deers, bears, pan
theirs, etc. l cannot abstain from be-
ieving that the manly effort which
must be put forth in the hunt, the
holiness which it requires, the keen OBJ
servation which it encourages, the deX-
terity and activity which are neces-
sary to its success, act together more
forcibly for the development of the
physical and mental strength than any
other occupation. We left
our noble hunter and his large, attrac-
tive family unwillingly and followed a
roadway to Duncard's Bottom, on the
Cheat River"
Will someone of the Swanton neigh
borhood tell US of "Mr. NJ. McCartin'
and of the Charming feminine guest
of whom this appreciative German
traveller wrote so long ago?
Eric Bollman's account of Augustine
(Teen) Friend is of special interest to
the Friends and related families, be-
cause it is the only description we have
of any of the Friend brothers who
were the first settlers of Garrett coun-
ty. Charles and Augustine Friend
were types of the pioneer hunter who
moved on when other settlers came
and the wild game decreased. A few
years after 1896 Augustine moved tc
Cheat River and before 1900 Charles
moved westward, presumably to Mis-.
souri,. The other brother, John, set.
tied on the Indian corn fields al
Friendsville and held his ground.

the site of Teen Friends old cabin is

Be Cautious of Drinking Water
While Taking Fall Trips

Are you planning to take hike or
to go gypsying in your automobile?
If you are, here is some advice from
DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of the State
Department of Health, that you will
find worth following:
after the enervating heat and
humidity of the summer" DR.. Riley
said, "the more invigorating weather
of the early fall brings with it a strong
urge to get out into the open for
hike, picnic, a trip along the shore
or one along the open highways. If you
go on an adventure of this sort, be a
bit cautious about the water you
drink.
MANY of the water supplies along
our Maryland highways have been in
spected and protected against contain
ination and the water from such
sources can be used without danger
of contracting typhoid or some other
intestinal disturbance. But, if at any
time it is necessary to obtain water
from unknown sources, don't take the
safety and purity of the water for
granted, no matter how clear and
sparkling it may seem to be. II the
water has been polluted by seepage
from untreated sewage, or if there IS
a toilet, stable or some other source
of possible contamination nearby, the
water is potentially dangerous, at least
and should be boiled before it is used.
Sanitary inspections of tourist, rec
reational and other camps have been
carried on in every part of the State,
bv State and county health officials
for a number of years. The operators
of the camps have been generally CO.
operative in making such sanitary i'm
provements as were requested. AS
result, the number of safe camping
grounds has steadily increased from
wear to year. Such places are duly
placarded.
"You can safeguard yourself to some
extent by taking all necessary precau-
tions while you are on your trip. The
best way, of course, to protect yourself
against Vacation typhoid-against
typhoid at any time-is to have your
self immunized against the disease.
Three shots of typhoid vaccine in
iected into your arm by your family
doctor, a week apart for each treat
ment, will give you protection against
the disease. The State Department of
Health supplies the vaccine free of
charge. Your only expense will be
your doctors charge"

"BClies Sorrow"


Who was the cold Hollander," the
first settler of Oakland, with whom
Eric Bollman spent night in 1896?
What was the great sorrow which
probably ended his career on the Lit
tie Youghiogheny soon after Bollman
stopped with him?
The land records inform US that
Charles Friend had 280 acres of land
surveyed east of the Youghiogheny,
which he named "Boiles Sorrow"
Friend neglected to pay the caution
money!" so General John Swami had
the land resuveyed and patented it
in 1896.
Boyle's Settlement at the crossing of
the Little Yough, near where the gaso-
line tanks now stand, became the prop
erty of William Armstrong, who kept
a tavern on in there and became a
permanent settler Of Oakland in 1906.
