Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A True Description of the Lake Superior Country Having visited the mining region the past season; having neglected no means in my power to ascertain the truth or falsity of the statements, and of my suspicions as to that, by many imagined, "El dorado" of the North; having taken great pains and labour to arrive at local facts, under the recollection of the many grains of allowance with which I had received the best authenticated statements myself; having no interest of name or nature in the effect my statements may produce, except that in common with all other citizens, in an early and prompt development of those internal resources of our country which will leave us independent of foreign supplies; I comply with the wishes of many acquaintances, who desire the information I have obtained, too lengthy in detail for the frequent repetition necessary to gratify personal friends only, by this publication of facts as I found them, without "fear or favour," "nothing extenuating, or aught set down in malice." I am impelled to this publication, too, not more that the truth and real merits of the country may be known, than to show, by such deductions as the careful reader will make, that "all is not gold that glitters." The realities are sufficient("and to this end must we come at last,") to insure all that should be desirable to accomplish, except the ulterior objects of those whose baseless fabrics of the brain must fall, and visionary schemes, in the end, come home to roost.
