There is, in fact, no part of the world where a greater variety of wild fruit has been found indigenous than upon the banks of the Red River of the North, and this variety extended to the little island where our voyageurs had encamped. The camp had been placed under a beautiful tree the tacamahac, or balsam poplar.
"Balm of Gilead" was the name that inquiry brought for this tree, and the resinous and sweet-smelling buds which preceded the rather inconspicuous catkins or aments of bloom seemed to justify the Biblical designation. Nearly a world tree is this poplar, which in some one of its variable forms is called also tacamahac, and balsam poplar as well.
