at the present moment, these islands have been left untouched by the ruthless hand of man. The larger one only, which is named Grosse Isle being here and there dotted with the clearing of an enterprising settler.
Their banks are still sheltered by a thick clothing of oaks hickory and maple, which cast their shadows on the clear stream, into which, many an old veteran worn out by age and weakened by the winter winds from the lake has quietly bowed his head, seeking a grave in its quiet waters. Here and there too an opening has been made by a hunter, who has felled a tree to make room for his little shanty, of which the bark walls though frail and fragile, point out the place where Paleface or Indian has word his camp.
