Description
The Dalles of the St. Louis', 1874. Rapids on the St Louis River which flows through Minnesota and Wisconsin, USA. '...Nature is harsh, rugged, and sombre, tearing her way in a water-course four miles long...The banks are formed of cold, gray slate-rocks, clad with an ample growth of bleak pine, and twisted, split, and torn into the wildest of shapes...the current surges with terrific force, leaping and eddying, and uttering a savage roar...Here and there an immense bowlder...is nearly hidden by the seething, hissing, foamy waves, which dance and struggle around and over it, sometimes submerging it, and then, exhausted, falling into a quieter pace'. 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. [D. Appleton and Company, New York, 1874]. Artist W. J. Linton. (Photo by The Print Collector/Heritage Images via Getty Images)
