I'p in the mountains OF old Virginia

of Low Moor wheelmen made days

Richmond and Lexington (ky) road
through clifton Forge; thence along the
Chesapeake and ohio railroad to the cow
pasture river. near Grifiiths; thence up
the banks Of the river. a distance OF I'VE
miles Crossing the river seven times en-

is an old stone house-the Oldest house,
save one, in the county of Bath-around

occupied by Mr.. i. W. Alexander. who
gave the tourists many Of these entertain
ing traditions. The house was nrst
used as a fort or place OF refuge tor the
white settlers when the Indians were IN
the habit of making raids through THIS
region. Ii was long the home OF old

miles up the cowpasture river Is still
considered the finest hunting-sround Tor

itself affords splendid bass-hshlng
on a knoll near by, overlooking the love-
lv valleys of the river, there are remains
OF an Indian burying-ground, show
ing thSt at some prehistoric period,
village or town was located there. The
site was examined by Gerard Fowke,
and his report thereon was made To the
Smithsonian Institution in 1884. The local
tradition that the graveyard marks the
Mace Of a great battle between the whites
and the Indians, Of which our histories
give no record, IS possibly erroneous,
as the Indians were not apt TO bury their
dead permanently on the field or battle.
on the other hand. several years ago
many human bones were uncovered by
a freshet in the valley. below, which Mr..
Fowke thought probably marked some
forgotten pioneer graveyard II may
be. after all, that the tradition Is correct
and that the men whose bones were
found were killed In an assault upon
the Indian village on the bluff. The
history of our frontiers has never been,
