Book: Itinerary through Corsica

C >> Charles Bertram Black >> Itinerary through Corsica




[Headnote: AGRICULTURE.]

The inhabitants do not assist nature. Their seed potatoes are of an
inferior class, their fruit trees receive little attention, very few
of the vineyards are carefully cultivated, and their sheep, goats
and pigs are of poor breeds. Of late years many have taken to the
growing of lemons and citrons; which in a good year yield a very
handsome profit; but the harvest, through untimely frosts, is
precarious. The headquarters of this culture is Cape Corse. The
olive trees yield a more secure though less remunerative harvest.
That terrible scourge the phylloxera has got among the vineyards,
where it is committing its usual havoc.

The drives and pedestrian excursions about Corsica are superb,
especially along the east side and up the centre by Sartene, Zicavo
and Ghisoni (p. 27), and the road between Calvi and Ponte alla
Leccia (p. 20). There are inns in all the large villages, though the
only good and comfortable hotels are in Ajaccio.

[Headnote: FORESTHOUSES.]

Enterprising tourists wishing to explore the great forests and to
scale the mountains should endeavour to procure letters of
introduction from the chief forestal authorities at Ajaccio, Corte,
Bastia or Calvi to the occupants of the Maisons Forestieres in the
forests to be visited. Although the gardes forestieres are generally
hospitable, they are afraid to follow their inclination without
orders from their superiors. For each day in these houses 7 to 8
frs. should be given.

Errors and Uncertainties noted by Transcriber

When the Index and body text disagreed on spelling, the form shown in
the General Map was used. The abbreviation "ft" has been regularized to
"ft." where full stop was missing or invisible.

_Inconsistencies (as alphabetized in Index, where applicable)_

Between the 51st and 53d kilometre stones
60 kilometres-stone,
_inconsistency in original_
Calenzana (pg 15)
_Index entry reads "Calenzani", but body text has "Calenzana"; it
appears to refer to the same place as the earlier Index entry
"Calenzana"_
Granace (col)
_body text "Garanace", Index "Garance", Map "Granace". The Map's
spelling was used because it can be found in modern sources._
PONTE NOVO. The site of the disastrous battle ...
The Ponte Nuovo is distinctly ...
... the terrible battle of Ponte Nuovo ...
[Index] Ponte Novo 9, 22
_the General Map and the town description (p. 9) use the "Novo"
spelling; other references (p. 22, 39) use "Nuovo". The Index as
printed had parallel entries for each spelling, omitting p. 39_
Col St. Sebastien [text and Index]
Col Sebastien [text and Index]
_variant forms of same name_
Zicavo ... 2385 ft.
Zicavo, 2445 ft.
_same place: map has 2345 ft._

[Contents]
Ajaccio to Sartene
_text reads "Sartene"_
Portotorres, at the north-west extremity of Sicily
_error for Sardinia_
and other 2-1/2 m. the village of Levie
_error for "and another"?_
S. Lucia de Tallano, on the highroad to Aullene
_text reads "Lucie"_
Ortia, 2638 ft., pop. 400, hidden among chestnut trees
_text reads "chesnut trees"_
From 1755 the Corsicans, led by the brave Pascal Paoli
_text reads "Corscians"_
Quercus Ilex
_text and Index: should be "Quercus ilex"_
[Index]
(Ajaccio) to Corte
_page reference missing from text_
_may be intentional: Corte is on Ajaccio-Bastia itinerary_
Corscia
_not an error here: "Corscia" is the name of a village_
Levie
_text has "Levie 37, 32" only_
