DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Early-Chicago Reminiscences We left Buffalo, August 26, for a goo-mile journey by land for Chicago, and traveled a couple of hundred miles along the shore of Lake Erie through Pennsylvania and Ohio. Instead of finding it a wilderness as we expected, we found a beautiful farming coun try, well settled by thriving farmers, good farm-houses, and fruit in abundance, and until we reached Cleveland, then a town of about 3000 inhabitants, first-rate macadamized roads. We hoped to find plenty of game, but were not quite so foolish as a young Englishman who was visiting at my house a few years since, who asked the morning after his arrival if he could walk out a few miles and get a shot at a buffalo, but did expect we might shoot a deer now and then; but, with the exception of two or three that crossed the road a few miles from Cleveland, and once again in Michigan, we saw none, and with small game it was about the same. We had two or three hours good duck-shooting on the Sandusky River, and once in a while shot a stray pigeon along our route, but that was all until we arrived at White Pigeon, when we ame across a flock of prairie-chickens and bagged a few of them, and once again at Door Prairie, about ten miles from Michi gan City, where we shot a couple, but with these few exceptions we saw no game in our two months' traveling.
