"The Grand Sable possesses a scenic interest little inferior to that of the Pictured Rocks.

The explorer passes abruptly from a coast of consolidated sand to one of loose materials; and although in the one case the cliffs are less precipitous, yet in the other they attain a higher altitude.

He sees before him a long reach of coast, resembling a vast sand-bank, more than three hundred and fifty feet in height, without a trace of vegetation.

Ascending to the top, rounded hillocks of blown sand are observed, with occasional clumps of trees standing out like oases in the desert." Onaway! Awake, beloved! The original of this song may be found in Littell's Living Age, Vol.XXV.p.

On the Red Swan floating, flying.
The fanciful tradition of the Red Swan may be found in Schoolcraft's Algic Researches, Vol.II.p.9.
