A long march over a bad path — thirty miles — to French
Creek, or Scotchtown. Boarded with Mrs. Farrell. A fine Union settlement. Forty
years ago a Massachusetts colony came here, and their thrift, morality, and
patriotism are the salt of this region. Slept in tent of Culbertson and Lieutenant
of Captain Remley's Fifth Regiment. Noble and generous treatment from them.
