Dragoons' Excursion


Note the reference to the town of Avon as a "delightful resort." 


Rochester, NY Union and Advertiser: August 25, 1858, p. 3


THE DRAGOONS' EXCURSION—To-morrow (Thursday) morning, at ten o'clock, the Dragoons leave for Avon to spend a couple of days at that delightful resort. Our contemporary, the Democrat, in a notice of the excursion this morning, was in error as to the time, putting it next week on Thursday. We are requested to make the correction at the earliest moment, lest some may be misled by the error. We hope the corps will have a good time and return on Friday, all the better for the exercise.
