Excerpt from Letters From the South, Vol. 2 of 2: Written During an Excursion in the Summer of 1816
As I had heard much of the, rattlesnakes and moccasins that infest these regions, I was on the look out for them during this little excursion, but did not meet a single one, nor do I believe they are by any means common.

Before I begin the story, however, I will give you a sketch of his establishment, which will serve for a specimen of the people of these mountains.
