Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The tourist attractions of the United States about 1840 were rather limited for a resident of Napoleon, Ripley County, Indiana; a summer traveler might take the monotonous and sultry boat trip down the Ohio to St. Louis, or go by stage to Niagara Falls. At this latter spot of scenic grandeur, the tourist's soul would be stirred by the roaring of the waters, but there were no inter mediate points of interest to relieve the tedium of the journey. Aside from this, there was little to do except stay home and raise more grain than a farmer could profitably sell.
