"Especially when it's been raining for three days, and the road is one big Mudhole, when your waggon's stuck wheel-deep, and no sooner do you dig it out than in goes another wheel.
"The Luck of Gerard Ridgeley"
Bertram Mitford
The writer of this little work met Ole Bull a few years ago in Chicago, and heard the artist laughingly say that, when he first entered what was destined to be such a great city, it was little more than a vast Mudhole, a good-sized village scattered over a wide space of ground, and with no building of pretension except Fort Dearborn, a stockade fortification.
"Great Violinists And Pianists"
George T. Ferris
