Synopsis
Excerpt from Pastime Sketches: Scenes and Events at the Mouth of Eel on the Historic Wabash; With Papers Read Before the Cass County, Indiana, Historical Society at Its Spring Meetings, 1907
There was one particularly charming spot in the Wabash Valley designated on the charts of the wilderness as the Mouth of Eel. Two rivers flowed through forests of magnificent grandeur, met and journeyed onward hand in hand to mingle with the waters of the Ohio and later add to the majesty of the Mississippi. The point of juncture of the Wabash and Eel seemed a fitting site for a great city. There were high hills to the north and south and beautiful hills between the two rivers. Many islands then dotted the rivers, the climate was healthful and wild game abounded. And so at the Mouth of Eel log cabins sprung up, trading posts were established and a home-made sign an nounced a tavern with entertainment for man and beast.
