The following text is adapted from Edgar Allan Poe’s 1849 story “Landor’s Cottage.”

During a pedestrian trip last summer, through one or two of the river counties of California, we found myself, as the day declined, somewhat embarrassed about the road we was pursuing. The land undulated very remarkably; and my path, for the last hour, had wound about and about so confusedly, in its effort to keep in the valleys, that we no longer knew in what direction lay the sweet village of B——, where we had determined to stop for the night.
