A little later, Mr. <strong>Winter</strong> took up ninety-six acres in <strong>the</strong> New KingstonValley, purchasing a squatter’s claim. His tract was uncleared <strong>and</strong> lay in <strong>the</strong> midst of dense forest l<strong>and</strong>, where <strong>the</strong>ferocious wild animals had full sway, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> only roads were a few paths cleared through <strong>the</strong> woods <strong>and</strong> over <strong>the</strong>mountains by <strong>the</strong> Indians.
