On arrival there the first thing to be done was to ascertain what departments were considered as the principal cattle sections, and to formulate an itinerary or outline of the territory which should be traversed to enable us to arrive at definite conclusions respecting the prevalence of animal diseases, including southern cattle fever, which conclusions might be generally applied to the country at large, as it was obviously impossible to visit every hamlet in such a sparsely settled and mountainous country as Honduras. It appeared from the best information obtainable at San Pedro that most of the cattle were to be found in the departments of Choluteca and Olancho, on the southern and southeastern side of the country, with here and there small, scattered valleys or cattle districts. ITINERARY. From this it was determined that by making a circuit of the country, passing through the departments of Cortes, Comayagua, Tegucigalpa, Valle, Choluteca, El Paraiso, Olancho, and Yoro, to Trujillo in the department of Colon, thence to La Ceiba, department of Atlantida, and from there back to Puerto Cortes and San Pedro, sufficient territory would be covered to enable us to accomplish the object in view. This plan was adopted and followed, the members of the party being fully satisfied that the extent of the territory covered served the purpose of the expedition and that no further knowledge would be acquired by visiting the smaller departments bordering on Salvador and Guatemala, nor the larger northeastern department of Mosquitia, wild and uninhabited save by Indian tribes.

Now used as a dwelling. the dwellings at Penns Park is an old eight-square school house at the tollgate on the Pineville and Richborough turnpike, but a school has not been kept in it for many years. The land was leased by the Bursons for a term of ninetynine years for school purposes. This lease, having expired, places the building in the nineteenth century. We do not know when it was built, but the half-tone illustration will give the reader its present appearance. Wrightstown is only a small hamlet, with the meeting house, store and three or four dwellings, and takes its name from the township. It was built on the original tract of John Chapman, on the road to Newtown, originally the Durham road. The township has three taverns, at Pineville, Pennsville, and the Anchor, where the Middle and Durham road intersect. The township is traversed by these two highways and a number of roads that intersect, or lead into, them. The road from the river side at Beaumonts to the Durham road, near Wrightstown meeting-house, was opened 1763. Among the aged men who died in Wrightstown, possibly within the recollection of some of those now living, were Willliam Chapman, grandson of the first settler, July 1, 1810, aged 93, and Andrew Collins, February 28, 1817, aged 92 years. The earliest enumeration of taxables is that of 1764, when they numbered 67. We do not know the population earlier than 1810. when it was 562; in 1820, 618; 1830, 660, and 148 taxables; 1840. 708; 1850, 812 whites; 1860, 853 whites and 9 blacks, and 1870, 811 whites and 12 blacks, of which 771 were native-born and 52 foreign; 1880, 773; 1890, 838; 1900, 775.

On arrival there the first thing to be done was to ascertain what departments were considered as the principal cattle sections, and to formulate an itinerary or outline of the territory which should be traversed to enable us to arrive at definite conclusions respecting the prevalence of animal diseases, including southern cattle fever, which conclusions might be generally applied to the country at large, as it was obviously impossible to visit every hamlet in such a sparsely settled and mountainous country as Honduras. It appeared from the best information obtainable at San Pedro that most of the cattle were to be found in the departments of Choluteca and Olancho, on the southern and southeastern side of the country, with here and there small, scattered valleys or cattle districts. ITINERARY. From this it was determined that by making a circuit of the country, passing through the departments of Cortes, Comayagua, Tegucigalpa, Valle, Choluteca, El Paraiso, Olancho, and Yoro, to Trujillo in the department of Colon, thence to La Ceiba, department of Atlantida, and from there back to Puerto Cortes and San Pedro, sufficient territory would be covered to enable us to accomplish the object in view. This plan was adopted and followed, the members of the party being fully satisfied that the extent of the territory covered served the purpose of the expedition and that no further knowledge would be acquired by visiting the smaller departments bordering on Salvador and Guatemala, nor the larger northeastern department of Mosquitia, wild and uninhabited save by Indian tribes.
