Aiken Winter Colony

Famous quotes containing the words winter and/or colony:

    One aged man—one man—can’t keep a house,
    A farm, a countryside, or if he can,
    It’s thus he does it of a winter night.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Tall tales” were told of the sociability of the Texans, one even going so far as to picture a member of the Austin colony forcing a stranger at the point of a gun to visit him.
