"It seems to us that no travelerhas ever……" — Henry David Thoreau
"It seems to us that no travelerhas ever explored them, and not with standing the wonders which science is else where revealing every day, who would not like to hear their annals? Our humble villages in the plain are their contribution. We borrow from the forest the boards which shelter and the sticks which warm us. How important is their evergreen to the winter, that portion of the summer which does not fade, the permanent year, the unwithered grass! Thus simply, and with little simply, and with little expense of altitude, is the surface of the earth diversified."
