Autobiography 1883 Tullidge's Quarterly Magazine Notes 1
We took the steamboat June the at 8 o'clock
a.m. at Kingston Mills to go up the canal. We passed through a
swamp of about twelve miles in length which abounded with
^fir & such as muskrat otter beaver &c.^
From Brewer's Mills we passed through Crambary
Marsh to Jones' Falls where the boat passed through four locks
which were built by the British Government and supposed to
be the most splendid works of the kind in America. They
cost four hundred thousand dollars being one hundred thousand
each. Yet notwithstanding these magnificient works the
face of the country presented a scene of the most gloomy
aspect; it being a rocky hilly barren uncultivated country
We left the boat at the locks and walked to
brother A^rtemus^ Judd's in the township of Bastard Leeds
County Upper Canada where we were joyfully received
by the Saints of God. They had been brought into the
Church through the instrumentality of Elders J. E. Page and J.
Blacksley and we were much rejoiced to hear of the work of
God prospering in their hands.
