Reminscences of early Michigan History 1800's
About dusk one or two hunters came in with a large, fat raccoon, and there was much rejoicing all around. They soon had him dressed and in the kettle, and, when cooked, the lady of the house kindly presented us with one shoulder of Mr. 'Coon, in a clean, wooden dish, which was really more than our proportion, and, with our half fish, we made our supper. It was awful cold; they kept fire all night, still we could sleep but very little. We started in the morning, without breakfast, traveled all day and until after dark, when I became about tired out, and told my man we must go in shore and camp, for I could not go much further. He thought the same.
