LETTERS OF S. H. TAYLOR
TO THE
WATERTOWN [WISCONSIN] CHRONICLE
[Editorial in Watertown Chronicle, March 16, 1853]
FOR OREGON.—S. H. Taylor, Esq., and family, of this city, and Amos Noble, of Emmet, will start this week for Oregon, by the overland route. They will be accompanied by two or three families from Illinois. Mr. T. has promised us a series of letters giving a description of the route, and such information of the country as may be of interest to the general reader. He will also become a regular correspondent of our paper after reaching Oregon. His well-known ability as a writer is a sufficient guarantee that these letters will be full of interest.
