420 Crawford Co.
the most interesting and romantic scenery in the western country may be found along this stream.
It appears to be a boundary between the open and prairie country on the west and heavily timbered land on the east. About its sources forests of pine are found.
Porcupine river enters Lake [Michig] Pepin, near the middle.
Trempealeau river, a branch of the Mississippi [river?] enters near [the] Mount Trempealeau, the "Montagne qui temp dans l'eau" (or Soaking Mountain) of the French. This remarkable bluff is about five hundred feet high affording a beautiful and extensive view of the Mississippi and the surrounding country. A very fine engraving of this Mountain and the surrounding scenery was made, a few years since, to accopany the "New York Mirror".
