Book Description
Excerpt from Among the Dells: A Poem The Dells of the Wisconsin river are known as one of the attractive summer resorts of the Northwest. They are about five miles in length, and are formed by the converging of the river's banks, through which the broad expanse of water above is forced with great rapidity. If we wish to know how long the river has been in making its present bed, or what caused it to take this course, we are left to conjecture. Above the Dells the bluffs show water-marks many feet higher than the present surface of the river. This, of course, would indicate that the adjacent flats which lie below these marks were once submerged. Perhaps the outlet of this lagoon was over what now are termed the bluffs; and more than one outlet is probable. The worn surface of the river banks shows that these bluffs are full of seams. Now, all river water is originally rain water, and all rain water contains some carbonic acid abstracted from the air. Decaying vegetable growth adds the same acid to water. The waters of the Wisconsin river are noted for the amount of vegetable growth contained. A glass of it held up to the sun shows scores of fragments of vegetable origin.
