Aspect of the country ...
Hi
During this period, the aspect of the country for a considerable distance around the present site of , had become materially changed; and the smoke from the cabin of the white settler arose in an hundred places, where, a dozen years before, prowled the wolf, the bear, and the panther, in perfect security
1. Does it say that a lot of area around Lexington had changed
2. "in perfect security" - does it mean that they didn't fight (hadn't fought) with each other or that a man didn't hunt (hadn't hunt) for them until he settled in that area?
--- I wasn't sure which tense would be correct

Hi,
1. OK, I understand that the appearance had changed. But to be more accurate it says that a great deal of land (considerable distance) around Lexington had changed its appearance, right? Yes
2. "a dozen years before" - does it mean over ten years before? Yes. A dozen means 12.
