Description
Excerpt from Memoirs of a Captivity in Japan, During the Years 1811, 1812, and 1813, Vol. 2 of 3: With Observations on the Country and the People
Purpose of conveying wood to the city on p''ack horses] This road was thickly imprinted with the tracks of horses''and men: there was no ''snow upon it, and therefore the Japanese could not trace our footsteps. It led in a straight northerly direction, and passed over the level summits of the hills. We Were not a little delighted at the discovery. And advanced with increased rapidity. I still felt much pain in my knee, and through the whole of my leg; but as we were walking on level ground, it was nothing to equal that which I experienced when ascending the side of the hill.
