Book Description
Excerpt from Sketches of Oxford County In the north ern part of Oxford County, there 1s a small sti earn tributary to the An droscogoin, called Ellis River. It has three branches, two descending from the moun tains to the north and north-west, and the third issuing from a pond, which bears the same name 0with the river, lying to the east. It lorms along its banks a large quantity of beautiful interval; above rises a plain, which as you go to the north, opens for several miles into a widening tract of fertile land. 011 every side but the south, where it winds its way to the Androscocrgin, mountains, here distant and covered with forests, here jutting into the valley, and bared either by nature or by terrible fires which have swept them to the summit, form in their rough Grandeur, a strange contrast With the smooth ness and beauty of the valley. Into this nook, whither scarce any had entered but the In dian as he chased the wild beast or fished in the waters, the emigrant betook himself.
