Those who understand such enclosures will think I had very little contrivance when I pitched upon a place very proper for all these (being a plain, open piece of meadow land, or savannah, as our people call it in the western colonies), which had two or three little drills of fresh water in it, and at one end was very woody—I say, they will smile at my forecast, when I shall tell them I began by enclosing this piece of ground in such a manner that, my hedge or pale must have been at least two miles about.
Találtam is egy minden említett feltételnek megfelelő helyet, egy nagy sík mező volt ez, vagy ahogy a nyugati gyarmatokon nevezik, szavanna. Volt rajta két-három tiszta vizű forrás is, és sűrű fás terület határolta.
