Sach's Dwelling in the Poconos

Description

Having explored Indian burial sites on the islands of the river and inspected local artifacts collected by Dutot and others, Maximilian and Bodmer left Dutotsburgh on the morning of August 25, arriving at Sach's public house that same evening. Nearby was an older building, the first to have been occupied by the man whose father had come to North America from Saxony. Sometime on the 25th or 26th, Bodmer made a sketch of Sach's first dwelling, no longer in use when Bodmer saw it.
