Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Travels in New-England and New-York, Vol. 4 of 4 Dear Sir; On Wednesday, September 19th, 1804, I began a journey to the falls of Niagara. I was detained by rain until three o´clock in the afternoon, and then rode to Watertown: twenty-six miles. The next day 1 proceeded to Sheffield: forty-one miles. At Litchfield, and afterwards at Canaan, I had expected to find my destined companions in this excursion ; but missed of them in both places. At the latter, after a solitary ride of between fifty and sixty miles, I found some gentlemen going to Sheffield, whose company made the remainder of the way very agreeable. The day was remarkably cold for the season, and was followed by a severe frost; the ice at Sheffield being, the next morning, about the thickness of a dollar, and the tender vegetables generally destroyed. During the preceding nine years there has not, in those parts of the country where I have journeyed, been a frost, sufficiently intense to destroy vegetables of this class, until about the middle of October.
