A Reminiscence By Philip Fritz
"Adien my father removed to Milton township, in 1814, he had to cut out the road where I now live [written in 1878]. Bears, wolves, wildcats, porcupines, wild hogs, deer and turkey were plenty. We often shot the wild hogs, as they made good meat. Porcupines were numerous ; the dogs would attack them and we would pull out the quills with bullet-moulds.
