'The Susquehanna (at Hunter's Gap)', 1874. Scene on the Susquhanna River which flows through Pennsylvania and Maryland in the eastern USA. 'These are the places where the trout-streams come singing through the ravines, murmuring their thanks to the pines for their shelter and companionship. The water of the Susquehanna is too warm in summer-time for the speckled favorites of the hunter, and they all fly for refuge into these little mountain - streams, which are their summer resorts'. From "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In, A Delineation by Pen and Pencil of the Mountains, Rivers, Lakes...with Illustrations on Steel and Wood by Eminent American Artists" Vol. II, edited by William Cullen Bryant.
