Shot Tower near Herculaneum
Description
In his journal for March 23 Maximilian briefly described the environment of Herculaneum, commenting that "immediately above the village is a limestone rock with a hole in its front edge...One can see daylight through this hole. Behind the upper shot tower (which Mr. Bodmer likewise sketched) a creek opens up from a valley surrounded by more flattened hills. There follows on the left shore a row of hills whose small valleys regularly converge on the Mississippi."
