Answer 4

Mr. Engelmann, Sophie, Ruppelius, myself, and Doctor Engelmann started for the upper farm.



A farm wagon drawn by two yoke of oxen had been hired to move our goods from St. Louis... and [it] held nearly all our things... [O]nce over the river, we seated ourselves comfortably on some of the mattresses. It was terribly hot and the dust at many places was six inches deep... About two o’clock in the afternoon we reached Belleville [Illinois]. On Main Street, our caravan, which had excited the curiosity of the few people there, halted at a tavern, the Virginia House. No wonder that we excited astonishment.



The doctor was on a very fine horse. Mr. Engelman, of imposing stature and wearing a mustache and a chin beard... looked like a military officer of high rank; Sophie appeared as a young lady, while Ruppelius and I carried double-barreled shotguns. Beards at that time were not worn by Americans... The fashion of wearing beards did not arise till after the Mexican War in 1848, when our citizen soldiers mostly returned bearded. And this decidedly reputable but very foreign-looking party came in an ox wagon!



A year or two afterwards, when emigration was pouring into this region of the country, our appearance would not have been particularly noticed. When we alighted, a tall, lean, white-haired man, as straight as a pole... showed us into a small room, serving as a general hall and parlor at the same time. It was Major Doyle... who now... [kept] an inn at Belleville... After we had washed, we [decided to have] something to eat. I asked the Major very innocently for some lunch. He seemed very much surprised. “Sir,” said he to me,” supper will be ready at six o’clock. We have nothing in the house to eat between meals.” Mr. Engelmann grew somewhat angry. “What, is this a tavern and we can get no kind of refreshment?... ” Mrs. Doyle, a small, round, but very kindly looking lady, entered the room. Finding out what was going on, she remarked... that she could make us a cup of coffee. She had no bread: they made their bread for each meal; but she would send down to the baker’s shop and get us some. Butter she had. About four o’clock, we resumed our journey. It was a beautiful road; nearly all the way fine, tall, beautiful timber, white oak, walnut, hickory, wild cherry, maple and sycamore; now and then there were openings, where wild roses, blackberry and hawthorn bushes grew. We passed also some fine farms.



At last, about six miles from Belleville... we saw before us the old farmhouse... Our life on the upper farm was really a romantic one. American and German neighbors called frequently. As Doctor George and I spoke English “pretty plain,” as the Americans said, we soon got acquainted with our American neighbors... Some were great hunters and good for nothing else, but clever fellows after all. How does this line from the story help set up the scene between Major Doyle and the travelers: It was terribly hot and the dust at many places was six inches deep.

It explains why they looked so dirty and disreputable when they arrived in Belleville.

It explains why they were so thirsty when arriving at the tavern.

It shows that the travelers were probably uncomfortable and irritable after their travels.

It tells that they were dressed too warmly for the weather, which is why they were viewed as foreigners.
