Synopsis

Excerpt from Queen of the Lakes, Buffalo, the Electric City of the Future: Souvenir of the Tenth Convention of the National Association of Builders

After his visit to this country in the year 1804, Tom Moore wrote a weird Song of the Evil Spirit of the Woods, telling of sprites, agues and wolves, with which be coupled this note: The idea of this poem occurred to'me in passing through the very dreary wilderness between Batavia - a new settlement in the midst of the woods - and the little village of Buffalo, on Lake Erie. This is the most fatiguing part of the journev through the Genesee country to Niagara. The statement must seem almost incredible to one who traverses the terri tory referred to now. True, by turning from the direct line, a fragment of the Tonawanda swamp may be found, but mainly, in the place of the wilderness, there is a land as smiling, as really flowing with milk and honey, as that which Moses saw from the mountain. Desolation has given way to life's keenest activities.
