| Lake Superior in Michigans Iron country 1800's
This was in the
month of May, and the winter's snow had preserved them. He opened one.
or two hills and filled his pail with large and perfectly sound potatoes. He
then said: "I may as well pull up a few parsnips and carrots for dinner, to
save coming up again;" and'sure enough he had them in abundance. From
this time till the 10th of July we kept possession of all the iron mountains
then known west of the Jackson, fighting mosquitoes at night and black
flies through the day. On the 10th of July we returned to the lake shore.
Mr. Harlow had arrived with mechanics, goods, lots of money, and what
was better than all, we got a glimpse of some female faces.
