a beauty and unconscious dignity and good
breeding in their looks and bearing.
Imagine your surprise, however, after
climbing nearly to the top of the mountain,
to come upon two-room cabin with an open
room between. and enclosed by picket fence
Weeks or months of labor went into that
fence. for the pickets were cut with an axe
and shaped and pointed with pen-knife
Occasionally, as you come up the mountain
you may notice pathetic attempt at beauty:
flower in tin can set out to catch the sum-
mer sun and rain makes you sigh and smile
somewhat sadly in sudden remembrance of
the occasional geranium one finds blooming on
tenement window sill in some great city.
But here at the top of the mountain, within
the picket fence, is riot of flowers - forget
me-nots, pansies, canterbury bells, balsam,

~Ew improvements are made without
- some loss and hardship. The new
Shenandoah Park will give many
people chance to enjoy the beauties
of nature. 1t will be a grand playground not
only for native Virginians, but for people
from neighboring states and from far distant
states. To one old lady whom know. how
ever, the park will always mean the loss of her
mountain home. She does not complain - she
comes of people who waste no time in idle
repining = but her eyes fill with tears as she
talks of the mountains.
Today the trail up the mountain has been
widened bit by the C.C.C. boys, but the
country is little changed in the sixty years
which have passed over my old lady's head.
Far apart from each other you pass the un-
painted one-room cabins of the mountaineers,
usually set in a small patch of corn; some
times cow, horse or mule grazes in the
unfertile, meager pasture and pig or two
roots about the cabin or under the trees. The
settlers who came to these mountains had
very few worldly possessions, and these pos
sessions have increased but little. The bare
necessities of life are so difficult of achieve
ment that there is little time for any luxuries.
The glimpses that you catch of the women
show you that they are old before their time.
Most of them are barefooted, and yet there is

Sixty years ago this was virgin
forest through which our young
couple travelled; the path they
took was a rocky one along a creek
or run. They settled with their
two-months-old baby near the top
of the mountain, perfectly content
and apparently oblivious of the
fact that such comforts as there
were in the valley had vanished.
The child drank in with her
mothers milk much of the sturdy
independence and self-reliance of
mountain people everywhere, and
with each year of life these quail
tiles have developed to a greater
degree.
Her mother and father must
have been unusual. for in spite of
the hardships of living, the little
girl was physically strong enough

roses and portulaca and wonder of wonders
- far away from its native heath, luxuri-
ously blooming crepe myrtle. Who made the
garden and where did the crepe myrtle come
from?
This is the story.
Some sixty years ago, life became little
difficult in the settled parts of Virginia and a
young and courageous couple decided to move
west; but they never went beyond the first
mountain range You can picture the route
travelled as you take it today You leave the
last small settlement and post office at STAN
ley, Virginia, and the outside world is gone
Beyond here the people to this day are largely
a law unto themselves. They are shy of
strangers; they may have internal quarrels,
but against an outsider their loyalty to each
other is mquestioned
