Book Description

Excerpt from The Only Nancy: A Tale of the Kentucky Mountains The mouth of the Gorge through which the stream rushed into View and the several falls that were in its way toward the pool caught the eye of the artist and he proceeded at once to sketch. He thought, as he worked, that Nature was at her best in this wild place. NO human hand had ever touched it with the art or skill of man. It could not be improved. It was a case Of Beauty unadorned, adorned the most. The artist, delighted beyond measure with his discovery, concluded that Nature loved the beautiful and had somewhat selfishly reserved this retired place for her own delectation.
