this elevation was once used as an
observatory by the Indians and as a
kind of wireless telegraph station
/ that in umcs of war, the Indians
would 60 there and sound their war
whoop which could be heard for
miles around. lie also stated that
,hat section Was once great game
center, and that it WAS a tradition
that fearful battle had been fought
by the Indians in or near the valley
of ehosaphat from the number of
bones and graves that had been dis
covered. We then recrossed the
valley and arrived at the point where
VIC met Mr. L. and there from a
family Mr.. X. secured some very
valuable Indian and one age relics
for his curiosity shop al Louisville.
After Mr.. L. had promised to report
any and all of his future findings
and discoveries to headquarters in
Louisville We bid him adieu with
the best wishes. We then turned
and drove westward, travelling thro
some interesting farming country;
We crossed the Greenville and Hop
kinsville road and entered into a
somewhat more rude and picturesque
country; scattered here and there
were TO be seen rather antique, yet
neat domiciles. This panorama
was quite attractive TO the trio.
They requested me to drive slowly,
often they would call out uHalt.p
Finally We entered dense strip of
forest and followed a narrow gauge
road up a gradual ascent until we
reached the broad opening upon a
high elevation on an extended ridge
running north and south; this place
is called "Point Lookout" or uWest
View" Here we met with one of
the grandest sights in western Ken
lucky, no: excelled anywhere in the
state. Mr.. r. stated that he had
travelled in Mexico, had been at
Pixies Peak, the Yellowstone Park
and in Hawaii islands, but he had |
seen, IN all his travels, nothing more
beautiful, grand and picturesque
than the scene that spread out be-
fore us was vast scene of undulat-
ing landscapes reaching far out
towards the going down of the sun,
dotted over with farmhouses, with
hills and forest groves, and in the
lar distance We could see a deep
blue bordering on the honzon where
rees and hills seemed to mingle
with the sky. After We had salts
led our curiosity with this grand
light of nature we turned from the
main ridge and hsgan- to descend
he gradual declivity along a mar
ow roadway that was completely
mbowered and clustered with dense ,
crest and vines, charmed. and en-
:hanted with the chirping and sing
ng of the beautiful birds that SEEM
d glad to have the opportunity to
Grenade us in our march thro their ,
erritory. In making this descent, ,
which was about a quarter of :
nile, Mt A. and Mr.. X. sang a $
'eautiful duet entitled, "When the I
docking Birds are Singing lin the q
Finally we reached t
lower level, constituting a con- I
able valley thro which a creek I
FOUND its meandeung way west I
ard. This creek, Mr.. NJ. stated 2
as called Jerrolds, rising near c
'reenville and emptying its waters S
ito Pond river Mr.. M. said that q
ne creek was called for a man q
y the name of Jerrolds, who had c
