Rock River was the largest of these, running south.

Next west was Sugar River, then the Picatonica.

Through the mining region the country was rolling and abundantly watered with babbling brooks and health-giving springs.
In point of health it seemed to me to be far better than Michigan.

In Mr.Henry's letter to me he had said that he had taken a timber claim in "Kentuck Grove," and had all the four-foot wood engaged to cut at thirty-seven cents a cord.

He said we could board ourselves and save a little money and that in the spring he would go back to Michigan with me.
