Father Winter
Thursday, November 12, 1812, just a month from the time they bade adieu to their Green Mountain home, the snow was falling fast, but Mr. Evans was not willing to be detained, and having recovered the horse that was abandoned before their arrival, they mounted their horses as before— Mr. Evans being on foot—and started for the head of Chautauqua lake, but a few miles distant, expecting to find a sloop, which would take them about half way on their journey. Arriving, they learned that no craft of any kind would leave for several days, if, indeed, at all, before the next spring, and they decided to toil on by land.
