Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Behind the Blue Ridge: A Homely Narrative Leading through a rocky pass in the Blue Ridge - a pass dust-choked in summer, snow-blocked in winter - is a road that seems just the ordinary prosaic highway of the country, - laid out by an engineer, built by a turnpike company, used as a connecting link between the beautiful Valley of Virginia and the world lying on the other side of the mountains. But it is something more. It is wide enough now for two or more carriages to pass each other on it without difficulty. It was originally a faint trail, growing ever more distinct with use, made by the buffalo that went pushing and trampling and trotting along it; by the deer daintily picking their way among some of its obstructions and leaping gracefully over others; by surly, slow-moving bear taking their own time for the journey. Panthers glided swiftly over it, rabbits darted across it, wolves lurked beside it, flocks of wild turkeys flopped or strutted along it morning and evening; the fox, the lynx knew it, as did every bird and beast in the whole country-side.
