A Part of Southwestern Virginia That Is
Libeled by Its Name.
There is no greater misnomer in our
language than the name Dismal
Swamp. 1t is not a swamp, nor is it
dismal. 1t is not depressed below the
level of the surrounding country, but
from fifteen to twenty feet higher, be-
ing really vast peaty mass which col
lects the rains and pours them out in
five streams fed from this great reser-
voir. 1t is not miasmatic, but on the
contrary, one of the healthiest places
on the continent The only trees
which grow in this district are
the juniper and the cypress.
and when they fall to the
ground their wood turns to peat.
There is no decomposing vegetation,
the air is perfectly pure. and the water
which flows away from the peaty mass
is of wine-color from the resinous mat
ter it contains. So healthy Is it that in
former years vessels which were going
on a voyage often provided themselves
with il in preference to any other, since
it kept sweet and pure for years. Mi
asma is never known in the Dismal
Swamp, nor is fever and ague common.
Before the war planters were anxious
to hire their slaves to work in the
swamp at single and clap-board max
ing on account of its health-giying
properties. 1t is great peat bed in
course OF formation, and not in any
sense of the word swamp at alL-St
