Erasmus Rigney Fawcett, Erasmus Rigney Fawcett Letter 1837-04-09
“ It is all a mistake to believe there is much difference between the Southern & western Countries there is some difference in the length of the seasons but the soil in the west is eaqual to any in the world. In coming here I passed through Tuscumbia a village about double as large a Boonville Mo. It is at [the] termination of the Daca [] & Tuscumbia Rail Road. I went on the Rail Road to Courtland 20 miles, in two hours. The country around Tuscumbia & Courtland is beautifull. ”
