Sinossi
Excerpt from Early History of Ithaca, N. Y: A Lecture, Delivered at the Village Hall, in Ithaca, Monday Evening, April 5th, 1817, in the Course of "Free Popular Lectures"
The length of time occupied in their journey from Kings ton hither, in the light ot'the rapid travelling of this day, seems incredible. A month was consumed in reaching the point where the village of Owego is now situated'7 and f1 0111 thence to this place nineteen days. But a reference to the route pursued, and to the manner of travelling, explains it. From Kingston they crossed to the eastern branch of the Delaware, striking it at Middletown; there they constructed canoes, in which they descended the river to a little below the fork then they crossed to the Susquehanna, and again making ca noes, descended that river to Owego. Between that place and this, there was no road cf any description - unless indeed, a well-beaten Indian footpath might be considered one - antl therefore they were obliged to clear the way before them, in order to journey onward.
