Eral mountains, which are generally covered
with rocks and timber,
yet it has been made smooth and easy to travel upon. Rough and
mountainous as this country is there are many wigwams and small
villages standing on the
roadside. I could see nothing in the country to induce the people
to live in it, and was astonished to find so many whites living on the
hills. I have often thought of them since my return to my own people,
and am happy to think that they prefer living in their own country to
coming out to ours and driving us
from it, as many of the whites
have already done. I think with them, that wherever the Great Spirit
places his people they ought to be satisfied to remain, and be
thankful for what He has given them, and not drive others from the
country He has given them because it happens to be better then theirs.
This is contrary to our way of thinking, and from my intercourse with
the whites, I have learned
that one great principle of their religion is "to do unto others as you
wish them to do unto you." Those people in the mountains seem to act
upon this principle, but the settlers on our frontiers and on our lands
seem never to think of it, if we are to judge
by their actions. The first
village of importance that we came to, after leaving the mountains, is
called Hagerstown.
It is a large village to be so far from a river and is very pretty. The
people appear to live well and enjoy themselves much. We passed through
several small villages on the way to Fredericktown, but I have
forgotten their names.
This last is a large and beautiful village. The people treated
us well, as they did at all other villages where we stopped. Here we
came to another road much more wonderful than that through
the mountains. They call it a railroad, (the Baltimore and Ohio). I
