Östergötland
This location is mentioned in the following paragraphs:
(§481) From this grass, as well as from the forests, marshes, fields, meadows, plants and lakes, I could see that this province is very like Småland, and I found quite a lot of plants that do not grow in Uppland, Södermanland, Östergötland or Skåne but do grow in Småland etc.
(§838) Various methods of drying grain:
- In Skåne they mow it and gather it up with a rake when dry.
- In Småland they cut it and dry it on a frame, also in Västerbotten.
- In Östergötland they stack it 2 by 2 in a long row.
- In Uppland they mow it, bind it and build stacks.
- In Ångermanland they hang the whole year's harvest over a large frame.
- In Västerbotten they cut it and hang it crosswise on a frame.
(§1154) 5th Oct. Departed thence. The arable fields in Finland are splendid; big and very flat fields; look like those in Östergötland.
