Sunday 12th of July dined with the Governor of the State of Kentuckey, Isaac Shelby. Thursday 16th of July 1795 left Danville. The 17th passed by Beardston forty three Miles from Danville. The 18th arrived at Stanford’s near Man’s Lick.[117] Sunday 19th remained to await my Baggage. The 20th remained, and being obliged to stay, watched the Process of manufacturing Salt. The Wells for getting the salt water are dug to a depth of about ... feet. Muddy clay is met with to a depth of ... feet. Then ... feet of slatey rock. When the rock is pierced the salt water is found at a depth of more than ... feet. This slate burns in the fire as if impregnated with bitumen or entirely made up of that substance. Bones of those great marine bodies that are rather frequently met with on the banks of the Ohio have been found in the impure clay that was dug up to reach the slatey rock. The 21st of July, arrived at Louisville, 40 Miles from Beardstown. The 22nd and 23rd remained and herborised. The 24th returned to Manslick, 16 Miles from Louisville. The 25th returned to Louisville. Sunday 26th of July herborised. Plants in the neighborhood of Louisville: _Quercus cerroides_,[118] _Quercus rubra_; _Quercus alba_; _Quercus prinus_; _Liriodendron_; _Fagus castanea_, _Fagus sylvatica_; _Rhus foliis alatis dioique_; _Hibiscus_[119] _foliis hastatis calyce exteriore lacinis subulatis flore pallide roseo_.[120] Saturday first of August made ready to leave for the Wabash and the Illinois. Sunday the 2nd I was invited to dine with a Frenchman named La Cassagne,[121] a resident of Louisville for more than 15 Years. Trees, shrubs and Plants of Louisville territory: _Liriodendron tulipifera_; _Platanus occidentalis_; _Acer rubrum foliis inferne argenteis_; _Fagus sylvatica americana_; _Quercus rubra_; _Quercus alba_, _Quercus praemorsa_,[122] _Quercus prinus_, _Quercus cerroides_;[122] _Tilia americana_; _Juglans nigra_, _Juglans alba_, _Juglans hiccory_, (_Juglans pacane_ rare); _Gleditsia triacanthos_, _Guilandina dioica_. Sunday 9th of August 1795, started from Louisville and slept at Clarksville,[123] two miles from Louisville on the opposite Bank of the Ohio. The 10th we set out and arrived at Post Vincennes situate on the Wabash River on Thursday the 13th of August in the evening.[124] The distance is considered to be one hundred and twenty five Miles. On the day of our arrival we crossed a River about 20 miles before reaching Post Vincennes and although the Waters were then very low we were on the point of making a Raft for the Country is not inhabited along this Road. Of all the Journeys I have made in America in the past 10 years this is one of the most difficult owing to the quantity of Trees overturned by storms, to the thick brushwood through which one is obliged to pass; to the numbers of Flies by which one is devoured, etc.
