Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Retrospect of Western Travel, Vol. 2 of 3
It was a sweet day of early spring. The patches of snow that were left under the fences and on the rising grounds were melting fast. The road was one continued slough, up to the very portico of the house. 'the dwelling stands on a gentle eminence, and is neat and even handsome in its exterior, with a ?ight of steps leading up to the portico. A lawn and wood, which must 'be pleasant in summer, stretch behind; and from the front there is a noble object on the horizon, - the mountain-chain which traverses the State, and makes it eminent for its scenery. The shifting lights upon these blue moun tains were a delightful refreshment to the eye after so many weeks of city life as we had passed.
