Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Glacier Garden, Lucerne, 1913
In the autumn of 1872, Mr. Amrein-troller was having a cellar dug in the proximity of the monument of the Lion at Lucerne. After having removed a stratum of arable earth, several feet in thickness, and another layer of shingles, the workmen struck upon the firm grey rock of the country, in which were sunk many deep excavations, caldron-shaped. At the bottom of which lay large round blocks of Alpine rock. I was called in to examine the nature of the surface, which was soon to be destroyed by further digging and blasting. Along the sides of this first Glacier Mill, several more were discovered.
