About 1854

These woods afford extensive, varied, and pleasant walks. A few Indian families, who here take up their summer residences, impart to the scene a forest wildness of other days. They employ their time in making baskets, fans, and similar articles, which are sold to the visitors. The Indian boys display their expertness in shooting, with bow and arrow, at pennies that soon find their way to their pockets.
