Reminscences of early Michigan History 1800's
They had a nice, clean, warm camp. They soon laid down some mats and made a place for us. The old man said, "You must be tired and hungry. " We replied, "Yes. " I said, "I am almost dead. " We laid down and the women took off our moccasins and leggings, which were frozen on our feet. They were cleaned off and hung in the smoke for morning use. The girls pounded some corn, and soon a kettle of hominy was cooking, with a kettle of those beautiful trout, and a cake of bread baked in the ashes. " You bet" we had a feast and plenty kept warm for breakfast. Never could any one be more kindly treated and cared for.
