THE Shenandoah Valley is q picturesque trail
made by the Indians. 1t was used in early
days as military road and gradually immerged
into general travel. From Roanoke straight
through to Berryville and on to Harpers Ferry
the trail is one of scenic beauty.

Buena Vista is one of the oldest places in
the vicinity and contains 1900 acres.
Other fine old estates in this vicinity well
worth seeing are the Fort Lewis estate, Mon
terey and Fotheringay, the latter built by Gen.
John Hancock, who loved it well that when
he died he was buried right in his tomb on the
place, that his face might always be turned to
his beloved valley.
Greenfield with an Enclosure of 100 900 acres,

From Lynchburg the motor ride along the
