East Of Oswego

Topics: classic

Ticonderoga to Lake George,         the classic invasion route         up the Richelieu valley         past Plattsburg,         Verdun,          Montral         across the North Shore         reroute again         to savour Albany;         last of the trading posts east of Oswego         before New York         protective sanctuary         lodgings,         free from the scalping knife         barrens and         the horrors Fenimore Cooper described.         Apple crisp, fall damp the air         with an unbroken stretch of forest         and Adirondack mountains,         there, delicate slip         of fair womanhood         bliss, she lies, gentle as the finger lakes         clothed in autumn crimson.
