HISTORY OF INDIANA COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA


CHAPTER I


THE WILDERNESS


To a person who has witnessed all the opposite shore, whose hills, valleys, mountains changes which have taken place in the west- and forests present a confused and romantic ern country since its first settlement, its landscape, which loses itself in the distant former appearance is like a dream or ro- horizon. mance. He will find it diffienlt to realize the features of that wilderness which was the abode of his infant days. The little cabin of his father no longer exists; the little field and truck patch which gave him a seanty supply of coarse bread and vegetables have been swallowed up in the extended meadow, or grain field. The rude fort in which his people resided so many painful summers has van- ished and, like the baseless fabric of a vision, left not a wreck behind. Large farms, with splendid mansion houses and well-filled barns, hamlets and villages now ocenpy the scenes of his youthful sports, hunting or military ex- cursions. In the place of forest trees or hawthorn bushes he sees the awful forum of justice or the sacred temple with its glitter- ing spire pointing to the heavens; and instead of the war whoop of savages or the howl of wolves. he hears the swelling anthem or peal- ing organ.


Everywhere surrounded by the busy hum of man and the splendor, arts, refinements and comforts of civilized life, his former state and that of his country have vanished from his memory ; or if sometimes he bestows a reflection on its original aspect, the mind seems to be carried back to a period of time much more remote than it really is. The immense changes which have taken place in the physical and moral state of the country have been gradual, and, therefore. scarcely pereeived from year to year; but the view from one extreme to the other is like the pros- pect over a vast expanse of water, of the 1


One advantage, at least, results from hav- ing lived in a state of society ever on the change, and always for the better; it doubles the retrospect of life. With me, at any rate, it has had that effect. Did not the definite number of years teach me the contrary, I should think myself at least one hundred years old instead of fifty. The case is said to be widely different with those who have passed their lives in cities, or ancient settle- ments, where, from year to year, the same unchanging aspect of things presents itself. There life passes away as an illusion or dream, having been presented with no strik- ing events, or great and important changes, to mark its different periods, and give them an imaginary distance from each other, and it ends with a bitter complaint of its short- ness. It must be my own fault if I shall ever have occasion to make this complaint. I do not recollect ever to have heard it made by any of my contemporary countrymen whose deaths I have witnessed.


A wilderness of great extent, presenting the virgin face of nature, unchanged by human cultivation or art, is certainly one of the most sublime terrestrial objects which the Creator ever presented to the view of man; but those portions of the earth which bear this character derive their features of sub- limity from very different characteristics. The great deserts of Africa wear an imposing aspect even on account of their utter barren- ness of vegetation-where no tree affords fruit, or shelter from the burning heat of the
