Our First Night in the Woods. T was half-past seven o'clock, the morning of the 9th of January, 1871. We were a merry company; albeit our noses, ears, and toes were a little frosty. We had just been set down at the end of the road, far up in Somerset County (maine), bag and baggage; and the horse-sled which had taken us up from the settle ment five miles below was now just disappearing among the spruces, twenty rods down the snowy trail, on its return. We were fairly launched on the wilderness. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
