- A beautiful stream gushing from the bosom of Mount Owen and swelled by tributary and tributary wound its course among meadows rich with the sweetest pastures and rivalling the emerald with its hue.
A greatful soil awaited the plough, ready to repay the husbandman for his skill and toil and there was no country better adapted for breeding horses and for multiplying flocks and herds. It was the same on the southern side. Lands, which now annually produce oats and potatoes were covered with timber for scores of miles. (Both banks of river)
The ancient name for this river was Glasslyn or Green River. Numerous woods, thickly scattered throughout gave the entire scene the appearance of a vast forest and a vast forest it was in more aspects than one.
