Chicago has its miles of lake shore walks; Albany, its Helderbergs; and San Francisco, its Golden Gate Road. And I recall with a pleasure which the war cannot take away a number of suburban European walks. One was across the Campagna from Frascati to Rome, when I saw an Easter week sun go down behind the Eternal City.
Having recently made a flying excursion through the valley of the Mohawk visited the old baronial castle of Sir William Johnson, and from thence struck across to the south through the Schoharie-kill valley, to explore the wonders of the great cavern of the Helderbergs, an accident to the light vehicle drawn by my coal-black steed, on my return, obliged me to call upon a coachmaker in the first city west of Albany.
Then we could hear, in addition, the barking of wolves skulking down from the Helderbergs, and on occasion the scream of a panther. Yet here there was a feeling of perfect security and peace. The days when men bore their guns to church were now but a memory among the elders.
