| Transcription | "Fire on the Red River. The spirited illustration on page 973 represents a scene witnessed by our artist, Mr. Rogers, from whose graphic pencil we have already had several pictures of his recent tour in the Northwest. Surveyed from the deck of the steamboat at night, the scene was grand and exciting. The flames had swept over the prairie, driving before them deer, wolves, and other wild animals, until they reached the wooded banks of the river. As the frightened creatures came in sight, emerging from the cover of the woods, the passengers and crew of the steamer amused themselves by firing at them with rifles or revolvers, with what result our artist, who was busy with his pencil, does not say." - Text accompanying illustration. |
