#history folks, I have the end of a letter here:
your friend
and fellow countryman
fellow sufferer and (???)
fellow laborer
Thos Young
What is that word? Best I can get is "miefsant", but that doesn't mean anything. A misspelling? Foreign word?

I'd like to write a bit about one of the more interesting historic places in my area. It's what was known in the 18th c and before as the "Great Carrying Place." It's the rhomboid area roughly defined by Glens Falls NY, Lake George village, #Ticonderoga, and Whitehall. It's the gap between Lake Champlain and the Hudson River. That gap caused a lot of history to happen there.
