[[blank page]] [[end page]] [[start page]] [[underlined]] Marshall & Shreveport [[/underlined]] [[underlined]] June 16 [[/underlined]] Felt better this morning and went out with Hollister to take up his traps. Got nothing, but took some photographs. At 4:20 took train for Logansport via Shreveport. Was surprised to find the country from Marshall to Shreveport an open, half prairie region of scattered, low timber & grassy swells. Many of the open places seem to be old abandoned fields but grown up to native grass & some times to scrubby pines. Some marshes & runs & cat tail patches & one lake were features of the country. In several places patches of a large Liatris were seen. A few little towns & good farms were seen but most of the country has a neglected, abandoned look. Crops are rather poor & the soil is sandy & apparently needs fertilizing. Stock is scarce & poor. Left Shreveport at 11 PM & reached Logansport about 1 AM.
