Snow drifted deep in the roads. We had very few amusements, these including the Fourth of July celebrations, trainings and muster days. " The school sessions were from eight to twelve weeks and the most important lessons learned by the children of that locality and period were the lessons of economy and frugality. In his vouth the boy wore clothes made of frocking cloth spun and woven by his 192 CHICAGO: ITS HISTORY AND ITS BUILDERS mother. There was much work to be done upon the home farm and ...still more ardu- ous labor after he started to earn his living, and yet there were also periods of pleasure and enjoyment when corn huskings and apple bees were held and when he had opportunity he engaged in fishing and hunting. He greatly enjoyed those days of hunting among the beautiful hills of New Hampshire and this undoubtedly gave him strength and hardihood that enabled him to wander west in the early days and labor in the mining camps of Colorado. His wanderings took him over many sections of the country and after viewing the great western prairies and studying the mining camps of the Rockies, he finally selected Chicago as the most promising location, becoming a resident of this city in 1859.
