Excerpt from Castle Gregory: A Story of the Western Reserve Woods in the Olden Times
Covered with one of the heaviest and most beautiful forests of the middle of the conti nent, with an abundant rain fall and small evaporation, both bore twice the volume of water to the parent lake that now finds its passage in their shrunken channels.
An old Indian trail crossed the Cuyahoga at a point near its bend remotest from the coast, extending from points on the lake to the native villages in the interior. Just above the crossing, on the northern bank, was the scene of my history, which, though it te counts incidents of the earliest of pioneer days, is idyllic somewhat, and touches few of the more striking incidents of border life and adventure.
