Book Description

Excerpt from The Gleaner, Vol. 2 The only imposing scenery thus far, is that of W'est Virginia, whose stately hills and bold rocky prominences are much in evidence. There is no sign of habitation on the hillsides, but at the base, small shanties surrounded by tiny patches of cultivated land were hidden by the trees which enclosed them. The Ohio River is still in evidence. Nearly every mile presents a tributary. We are passing through Ohio. Habita tion and cultivation is more extensive than in the State we left. It rained in torrents last evening and this morning, the sun-kissed golden hills were arched by a beautiful rainbow which seemed to struggle feebly along the crests of the high hills.
