part of the country, that there was scarcely a 
man who had not changed his place of abode 
seven or eight different times. 
As none but very miserable horses were to 
be procured at this village on the Genesee 
River, and as our expedition through the woods 
had given us a relish for walking, we deter¬ 
mined to proceed on foot, and merely to hire 
horses to carry our baggage; accordingly, 
having engaged a pair, and a boy to conduct 
them, we set off early on the second morning 
from that of our arrival at the village, for the 
town of Bath. 
The country between these two places is 
most agreeably diversified with hill and dale, 
and as the traveller passes over the hills which 
overlook the Genesee River and the flats bor¬ 
dering upon it, he is entertained with a variety 
of noble and picturesque views. We were 
particularly struck with the prospect from a 
large, and indeed very handsome house in its 
kind belonging to a Major Wadsworth, built 
on one of these lulls. The Genesee River, 
bordered with the richest woods imaginable.
