Virginia: Containing a Visit to the Virginian Canaan, and the Adventures of Porte Crayon and His Cousins; Illustrated (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Virginia: Containing a Visit to the Virginian Canaan, and the Adventures of Porte Crayon and His Cousins; Illustrated
The sprightly sketches which illuminate this unskillful narra tive are the most appropriate and shall be the only introduction of our friend porte crayon. He has rendered the subjects with great truthfulness, and has exhibited even some tenderness in the handling of them. If he has nothing extenuated, he has, at least, set down naught in malice. Porte, indeed, modestly remarks that his poor abilities were entirely inadequate to do justice either to the sublimity of the natural scenery or the preposterous absurdity of the human species on that memorable expedition.
Mr. Smith, a gentleman of imposing presence, of few words, but an ardent and determined sportsman, and a zealous promoter of the expedition, completes the catalogue.
