 Description: Here I am once more in Virginia-- again on sacred soil. Not only in Va. but way up on the Blue Ridge, where the very clouds are often under our feet. It would be very pleasant, if it were not for two very serious drawbacks.-- It is quite cold, and we have to go down the mountain half a mile for water, There is a kind of Block house up here, from which and we have a splendid view of the surrounding country, particularly to the north and west. We can see the church-spires of Martinsburg with the aid of a field glass.- 21 miles distant and were it not for intervening hills and forest we could see Winchester. Away as far as the eye can reach the Alleghenies raise their lofty peaks, far above the heights of North Mountain and the Shenandoah Mountains both of which intervene. As far as romance goes, this is by far the most interesting place we have been in.
