I'm Going Now. My Time Has Come.

One Day I Undertook A Tour Through The Country, And The Diversity And Beauties Of Nature I Met With In This Charming Season, Expelled Every Gloomy And Vexatious Thought.

In The Decline Of The Day, Near Kentucky River, As We Ascended The Brow Of A Small Hill, A Number Of Indians Rushed Out Of A Thick Cane-brake Upon Us, And Made Us Prisoners.

Soon After, I Returned Home To My Family, With A Determination To Bring Them As Soon As Possible To Live In Kentucky, Which I Esteemed A Second Paradise, At The Risk Of My Life And Fortune.

Curiosity Is Natural To The Soul Of Man And Interesting Objects Have A Powerful Influence On Our Affections. Let These Influencing Powers Actuate, By The Permission Or Disposal Of Providence, From Selfish Or Social Views, Yet In Time The Mysterious Will Of Heaven Is Unfolded, And We Behold Our Conduct, From Whatever Motives Excited, Operating To Answer The Important Designs Of Heaven.

Nature Was Here A Series Of Wonders, And A Fund Of Delight.
