These stories are true ones and they depict\nsomething of the courage and hardihood of the early Virginia pioneer.\nPerhaps in reading of their lives we may catch something of the majesty\nand charm of their surroundings which were reflected to a marked degree\nin their way of living. Surely they must often have said, \"I will look\nunto the hills from whence cometh my strength\" or how else may we\naccount for the developments which came as the result of their constant\nstruggle for survival?\nStories of colonial Virginia on the eastern seaboard are numerous and\nusually exciting but they are quite different from the tales beyond the\nPiedmont. A combination of them may enable us to know Virginia as a\nwhole in a more appreciative way.\nLong before the Knights of the Golden Horseshoe ever set foot in the\nwilds of Virginia, intrepid explorers had passed through various parts\nof the Valley country.\nIn 1654--more than sixty years before the Governor's expedition--Colonel\nAbraham Wood received permission to explore beyond the mountains. His\npurpose was to establish trade relations with the Indians. His journey\ncarried him through the lower Blue Ridge, crossing the range near the\nVirginia-North Carolina line.\nReference is made elsewhere of the explorations conducted by the\none-time monk, John Lederer, whose journal of the trip was first\ntranslated from German and published in London in 1672.\nLet us plainly understand however that each of these trips was of a\nmigratory nature; not a thought was entertained by any of the\nparticipants of remaining in the Virginia mountains. Any white man found\nin these sections at this time was there because of good hunting\ngrounds, hopes of good trading, the zeal of a missionary spirit or love\nof adventure and exploration.\nThe earliest settlers in the Valley in most part came either from\nMaryland or Pennsylvania. They came in search of rich, cheap land or for\neconomic reasons or in the hope of establishing greater freedom for\nthemselves and their children.\nTwo nationalities invaded the Great Valley almost simultaneously: the\nGermans and Scotch-Irish--both fine, sturdy, healthy and thrifty stock\nwhich is reflected in marked degree among the present inhabitants of the\nregion. Their real interest in the new settlements may truthfully be\nsaid to have begun about 1730 when land grants were obtained. About two\nyears later the actual move into the country and the house building\ncommenced in earnest.\nThe German settlers located chiefly along the territory extending from\nWinchester to Staunton. The Scotch-Irish on the other hand selected\nStaunton and the valley south of the town for their claims. No nice\ndistinction can be made so easily, for we shall find the two groups\ninterspersed all along the entire length of the Valley. But generally\nspeaking their domains may be defined thus.\nSo much fighting during the wars of our country could not have been\nfought in this section of the State without leaving in its wake the\nstories of chivalry, courage and accomplishment, a few of which are\nincluded.\nIt is our desire that the trips along the Skyline Drive and in the Great\nValley country may be enriched and the imagination stirred because of\nthe accounts included in this small book.\nTable of Contents\n    WASHINGTON'S BOYHOOD FRIEND--LORD FAIRFAX                         24\n    WINCHESTER--THE FRONTIER TOWN OF THE VALLEY                       26\n    THE STORY TELLER OF THE VALLEY--SAMUEL KERCHEVAL\n    STONEWALL JACKSON'S VALLEY CAMPAIGN                               61\n    CHARLOTTESVILLE AND ALBEMARLE COUNTY                              98\nList of Illustrations\n    George Washington's Headquarters, Winchester, Virginia            27\n    View Along the Skyline Drive in the Shenandoah National Park      38\n    \"The Cypress Garden\", a Scene in Endless Caverns                  57\n    \"The Manse\", Woodrow Wilson's Birthplace, Staunton, Virginia      76\n    Woodrow Wilson's Bed, Staunton, Virginia                          78\n    Washington and Lee University, Lexington, Virginia                90\n    \"Monticello\", near Charlottesville, Virginia                      99\n    Rotunda of University of Virginia                                102\n    \"Kenmore\", the Home of Fielding Lewis and Betty Washington\n    \"The Mary Washington House\", Fredericksburg, Virginia            116\n    \"Rising Sun Tavern\", Fredericksburg, Virginia                    118\n    Scenic Highway in Southwest Virginia                             126\n[Blank Page]\n[Illustration]\nKnights of The Golden Horseshoe\nAlexander Spotswood was the first Virginia Governor to become interested\nin the glowing accounts which the hunters and trappers brought back from\nthe hill sections of the colony. He determined to see for himself those\ndistant blue ridges.\nAnd while historians have not told us who guided him to the upper or\nwestern boundary of what was then Essex County, we are told that he\nbecame enthusiastic over the rich iron ore which he found in the\npeninsula formed by the Rapidan River. He decided to build iron furnaces\nat a point near the river. Later he had his agent, Baron de Graffenreid,\ngo to Germany and bring master mechanics and their families to Virginia.\nThe first German colony came in 1714 to Virginia and journeyed to\nGermanna, as they called their new home on the bank of the Rapidan\nRiver. They were made up of twelve families and numbered forty-two\npeople in all, men, women and children.\nThe Virginia Council passed an act which provided protection for the\nGermans. A fort was built for them, ammunition and two cannon were sent\nand an order was given for a road to be made to the settlement.\nThese men and women were brave, loyal and deeply religious. They\nbelonged to the German Reformed Church, which was a branch of the\nPresbyterian family of churches. Here they organized the first\ncongregation of that faith in America and here they built their church.\nThey had come from Westphalia, in Germany, and of course had brought\ntheir own customs and manners, which are not entirely gone even in our\nmodern Virginia. Later, as we shall see, many of this first colony left\nGermanna and settled on Licking Run near Warrenton.\nIn 1717 came a second German colony to Germanna. They too were brave,\nloyal, and devout; but were different from the first, being Lutherans\nand representing twenty families from Pennsylvania.\nTwo years later, the third colony of Germans came to Germanna and from\nthere they settled in Orange and Madison counties.\nIf Governor Spotswood earned the title of \"Tubal Cain of America\", it\nwas because these Germans were industrious, thrifty and honest.\nThe Governor liked the neighborhood so well that he had a palace built\nfor his family. There was a terraced garden, which one may trace in the\nruins found there today. A courthouse was built there, for a new county\nhad been cut from Essex and was called Spotsylvania, in the Governor's\nhonor. Nearby was a bubbling fountain spring at which tourists stop\ntoday to quench their thirst. This has been marked by the Colonial Dames\nand over it there is a hand-wrought iron standard, giving the legend of\nthe spring.\nIn 1732, Colonel William Byrd of Westover visited Governor Spotswood at\nGermanna. He was one of the Commissioners who ran the boundary line\nbetween Virginia and North Carolina. He held many positions of honor and\ntrust in the colony. His writings give an intimate picture of Governor\nSpotswood's settlement:\n     _Progress to the Mines._\n     \"Here I arrived about three o'clock, and found only Mrs.\n     Spotswood at home, who received her old acquaintance with many\n     gracious smiles. I was carried into a room elegantly set off\n     with pier glasses, the largest of which came soon to an odd\n     misfortune. Amongst other favorite animals to cheer this lady's\n     solitude, a brace of deer ran familiarly about the house, and\n     one of them came to stare at me as a stranger. But unluckily\n     spying his own figure in the glass, he made a spring over the\n     tea-table that stood under it, and shattered the glass to\n     pieces, and falling back upon the tea-table made a terrible\n     fracas among the china. This exploit was so sudden and\n     accompanied with such a noise, that it surprised me and\n     perfectly frightened Mrs. Spotswood. But it was worth all the\n     damage to show the moderation and good humor with which she\n     bore the disaster. In the evening the noble Colonel came home\n     from his mines, who saluted me very civilly, and Mrs.\n     Spotswood's sister, Miss Theky, who had been to meet him _en\n     cavalier_, was kind too, as to bid me welcome.\n     \"We talked over a legion of old stories, supped about nine, and\n     then prattled with the ladies till it was time to retire. In\n     the meantime, I observed my old friend to be very uxorious and\n     exceedingly fond of his children. This was opposite to the\n     maxims he used to preach before he was married, that I could\n     not forbear rubbing up the memory of them. But he gave a very\n     good natural turn to his change of sentiments, by alleging that\n     whoever brings a poor gentlewoman to so solitary a place, from\n     all her friends and acquaintances, would be very ungrateful not\n     to use her and all that belongs to her with all possible\n     tenderness.\n     \"We all kept snug in our apartments till nine, except Miss\n     Theky, who was the housewife of the family. At that hour we met\n     over a pot of coffee, which was not quite strong enough to give\n     us the palsy. After breakfast the Colonel and I left the ladies\n     to their domestic affairs, and took a turn in the garden which\n     has nothing but three terraced walks that fall in slopes one\n     below the other.... I let him know that I had come to be\n     instructed by so great a master in the mystery of making iron\n     and that he led the way and was the Tubal Cain of America....\n     He assured me he was not only the first in this country, but\n     the first in North America who had erected a regular furnace,\n     that they ran altogether upon bloomeries in New England and\n     Pennsylvania, till his example had made them attempt greater\n     works.... At night we drank prosperity to all the Colonel's\n     projects in a bowl of rack punch, and then retired to our\n     devotions....\n     \"I sallied out at the first summons to breakfast, where our\n     conversation with the ladies, like whipped sillibub, was very\n     pretty, but had nothing in it. This it seems was Miss Theky's\n     birthday, upon which I made her my compliments, and wished she\n     might live twice as long a married woman as she had lived a\n     maid. I did not presume to pry into the secret of her age, nor\n     was she forward to disclose it.... She contrived to make this a\n     day of mourning for having nothing better at present to set her\n     affections upon.\"\nIt was really from Germanna that the Great Expedition to the Mountains\nbegan. Of course we know that Williamsburg was the scene of great\nexcitement when the Governor and some of his staff gathered for the\nfirst start. The party consisted of the Governor, Fontaine, whose diary\ngives us accounts of the journey, Beverley, the historian of Virginia in\n1703, Colonel Robertson, Austin Smith, Dr. Robinson, Messrs. Talor,\nBrooke and Mason and Captains Smith and Clouder. Others were gentlemen,\nservants and guides. All were delayed when an old trapper told them that\ntheir horses' feet would be ruined if not shod. In the sandy soil of\neastern Virginia it was not necessary to shoe one's horse, but the\nrocks, as one travelled inland, would ruin the horse's feet. The party\nmade the best of the long wait by drinking the health of the King,\ntoasts to the maids left behind and in other farewells.\nThe party, after five days, reached Germanna and it is from Fontaine's\njournal that we are told of the details of the trip. He relates the\nhardships; some, including the writer, had fevers and chills and drank\nJesuits' bark tea. Their beds, made of boughs, were not soft enough and\nthe men slept badly and were sore the next day after camping out in the\nwilderness. They made about six miles a day. Their food was bear's meat,\nvenison, and wild game, which they roasted on long wooden forks over\nglowing coals. And each time they ate, they also drank the King's\nhealth, not forgetting any of his children in their toasts. Fontaine\nwrites--\n     \"We saw when we were over the mountain the footing of elks and\n     buffaloes, and their beds. We saw a vine which bore a sort of\n     wild cucumber and a shrub with fruit like unto a currant. We\n     ate very good wild grapes.... We crossed a river which we\n     called the Euphrates. It is very deep, the main course of the\n     water is north, it is four score yards wide in the narrowest\n     part.... I got some grasshoppers and fished ... we catched a\n     dish of fish, some perch and a fish called Chub. The others\n     went ahunting and killed deer and turkeys.... I engraved my\n     name on a tree by the river's side and the Governor buried a\n     bottle with a paper inside, on which he writ that he took\n     possession of this place in the name of King George the First\n     of England....\n     \"We had a good dinner, and after it we got the men together and\n     loaded all their arms and we drank the King's health in\n     champagne and fired a volley, and the Princess's health in\n     Burgundy and fired a volley, and all the rest of the Royal\n     family in claret and a volley. We drank the Governor's health\n     and fired a volley.\n     \"We had several sorts of liquors, viz Virginian red wine and\n     white Irish usquebaugh, brandy, shrub, two sorts of rum,\n     champagne, canary, cherry punch water and cider.\"\nIt was thirty-six days after leaving Williamsburg that the party finally\nreached the mountain and scaled Swift Run Gap and for the first time a\ngroup of Englishmen looked down into the fertile valley beyond.\nThe Governor was a romantic person, as well as practical, so he wanted\nto have something tangible by which all of his party might remember\ntheir thrilling trip. He asked some of his men what they thought of the\nidea and someone suggested, no doubt in fun, that they call themselves\nthe \"Knights of the Golden Horseshoe\".\nAnyway, historians relate that when he returned to Williamsburg, he\npromptly wrote a letter to His Majesty and told him of the wonderful\ncountry \"beyond the mountains\". He also asked for a grant for the Order\nof the Knights of the Golden Horseshoe. In due time a proclamation\narrived from England creating The Order of the Golden Horseshoe and also\nfifty tiny golden horseshoes inscribed in Latin \"_Sic jurat transcerde\nmantes_\". There was a seal and a signature and the title of Knight was\nconferred upon the Governor.\nThe King also had his own sense of humor and included with all the rest,\nthe bill for the golden horseshoes! And we are told the sporting\nGovernor paid for them out of his own pocket without any regrets.\nLet us start our journey from this historic spot and drive along the\nrecently built Skyline Drive. As we go we may look down upon the first\nsettlers' homes, around which are built the thrifty towns of today.\nAdam Miller and His Neighbors\nAmong the earliest settlers in the valley were young Germans, Adam\nMueller and his wife and his sister. Adam, as was his family, was born\nin Germany. Like many others, he had left because of religious\npersecution, devastating wars and social unrest. His first home in the\nnew country was in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.\nAdam Miller (as his name was soon after spelled) journeyed to\nWilliamsburg, Virginia. There, he told someone, he wanted to make his\nhome. It was not long after the Knights of the Golden Horseshoe had\nreturned with their glowing accounts of the land beyond the mountains.\nAdam listened with deep interest to the descriptions of the Valley where\na native grass grew on which buffalo fattened, where game lived all year\nand where a forest fringed the fertile valleys. He decided to go with\nsome hunters and he found the kind of land which he wanted. Before he\nreturned to Lancaster he had built a rude log cabin. He returned home by\nway of Williamsburg, and soon his wife and sister were getting ready to\nset forth. Many of his German neighbors were interested also, and\nhistorians claim he was the first German to build near Massanutten\nMountain.\nHis neighbors were Abram Strickler, Mathias Selser, Phillip Long, Paul\nLong, Michael Rinehart, and Jonathan Rood. Some give the date of this\nsettlement as early as 1726. Adam Miller took out his naturalization\npapers a few years later and today, the visitor may read the quaint\ndocument hanging on the walls of the Miller home, near Elkton, Virginia.\nHis log cabin was soon outgrown. He was a good farmer and his wife and\nsister helped him. His crops were larger each year. Besides, Adam was a\nbusiness man. He secured a large land grant and he soon was selling off\nfarms to other Germans who came from Pennsylvania and from Germany.\nThe Millers built a larger home and they bought some good sturdy\nfurniture to replace the crude tables and chairs which were home-made.\nThey took pleasure in getting the home all ready before they moved into\nit. They had even spread the beds with the new hand-woven coverlets\nwhich his wife and sister had made during the long winter nights. The\nnext night they would sleep in their new home. But during the night, a\nfire broke out--no one ever knew its origin--and everything was\ndestroyed before the family woke up!\nThe Millers were undaunted, so they built again. We are told what good\nneighbors there were in those days. The men took their own axes and cut\ndown the trees. They dressed the lumber, sawed the timbers by careful\nmeasurements, laid foundations, and built chimneys. It did not take so\nlong to build a house. The visitor today will see a big white house on\nthe road between Luray and Elkton, almost beneath the shadow of old\nMassanutten Mountain. He will see the marker which tells him that this\nhouse was built by the Miller family. Inside, the visitor will see\npriceless early American furniture. He will see rosewood and later\nEmpire furniture, too, as other generations added to their heritage. But\nwhen one goes into the log cabin kitchen he will stand in reverence\nbefore a collection of early Dutch tables, chairs, platters, plates of\nDelft and pewter, spoons of the same ware. There is a huge corner\ncupboard which everyone would like to have for his own. This house no\nlonger has a direct descendant of Adam and his good wife to occupy it,\nfor the last one of his line recently died.\nAdam Miller was not only a good neighbor to his German friends but we\nare told they did not have much trouble with the Indians during the\nfirst years he lived in the Valley. However, he was a brave fighter\nduring the Indian Wars and his record is given in _Henning's Statutes_.\nHe lived through most of the Revolutionary War and no doubt longed to\nfight in behalf of the country which had given him the opportunity to\ndevelop it.\n     \"On Sunday evening, Dec. 3rd, 1749 a young Franciscan went with\n     us (_Diary of Leonard Schell, a Moravian Missionary_) to show\n     us the way to Mathias Schawb, who immediately on my offer to\n     preach for them, sent messengers to announce my sermon. In a\n     short time a considerable number of people assembled to whom I\n     preached. After the sermon I baptised a child of Holland's. We\n     stayed overnight with Mathias Schawb. His wife told us we were\n     always welcome and we must come to them whenever we came into\n     that district.\n     \"Toward evening a man from another Dutch settlement, Adam\n     Miller passed. I told him that I would like to come to his\n     house and preach there. He asked if I were sent by God and I\n     answered yes. He said if I were sent by God I should be\n     welcome, but he said there are at present so many kinds of\n     people that often one does not know where they come from. I\n     requested him to notify his neighbors that I would preach which\n     he did.\n     \"On Dec. 4th we left Schawb's house commending the whole family\n     to God. We travelled through the rain across the South\n     Shenandoah to Adam Miller's house who received us with much\n     love. We stayed over night.\n     \"On Dec. 5th I preached at Adam Miller's house on 'Whosoever\n     thirsteth let him come to the water and drink.' A number of\n     thirsty souls were present. Especially Adam Miller took in\n     every word and after the sermon declared himself well pleased.\n     In the afternoon we travelled a short distance, staying\n     overnight with a Swiss.\"\nJoist Hite, the Pioneer\nWhen Joist Hite arrived in Virginia he and his family were required to\nsettle on the land bought from the VanMeters. His purchase was made in\nJune 1731. In October of the same year, he and Robert McKay obtained a\ngrant from the Colonial Government to have 100,000 acres of land\nsurveyed on the west side of the mountain, with the agreement to bring\nin one hundred settlers within two years. During that year, Hite moved\nin and settled on that land, but he got an extension of time for\nbringing in other settlers. By Christmas of 1735 Hite had brought in\nfifty-four families.\nAll this land was in the County of Spotsylvania and Hite found that he\nand his brothers were too far away from the courts so he became\ninterested in getting a new county organized in 1734. This was named\nOrange, in honor of the Duke of Orange. Later on, having acquired more\nland, he found himself again too far removed from a court house. And\nagain he applied for a new county. In fact he needed two counties for\nall his lands and ever-increasing settlers. In 1738 Orange County was\ndivided into three counties, namely: Orange, Frederick, and Augusta to\nthe west of the mountain. With Joist Hite and his wife Anna Maria came\ntheir daughters, Mary, her husband George Bowman, Elizabeth and her\nhusband Paul Froman, Magadelena and her husband Jacob Chrisman, and\ntheir sons John, Jacob, Isaac, Abraham and Joseph. Hite, we are told,\nallowed his sons-in-law to choose their own homesteads.\nHis wife, Anna Maria, died in 1738 at Long Meadows and soon he married\nagain. We read the following quaint marriage contracts between him and\nhis second wife:\n     \"In the Name of Jesus\n     \"Whereas, we, two persons, I, Joist Hite and Maria Magadelena,\n     Relict and Widow of Christian Nuschanger, according to God's\n     holy ordinance and the knowledge and consent of our Friends and\n     Children and Relations are going to enter into the holy state\n     of Matrimony. We have made this Nuptial part one with the\n     others. First promise to the aforesaid Maria Magadalena all the\n     Christian Love and Faithfulness. Secondly, as neither of us are\n     a moment secure from death so I promise her Home or Widow Seat\n     so long as she lives and the Heir to whom the said House shall\n     fall shall provide the necessary Diet and Cloathes and if that\n     do not please but that she rather desire to have her\n     commendations in any other place, so shall the foresaid Heir to\n     the House yearly pay her Six Pounds ready money and this is my\n     well considered desire.\n     \"And Likewise wife, I Maria Magadalena promise the aforesaid\n     Joist Hite. First of all, Love and Obedience. Secondly, I am\n     designed to bring with me to him some cattle, money, household\n     goods which in agreement with attested witnesses shall be\n     Described and should I die before the said Hite so shall the\n     said Hite have the half thereof and the other half shall be\n     delivered back again to my heirs and this is also my well\n     considered desire. Thirdly and Lastly, whoever of the aforesaid\n     persons shall die first the half of the portion the Woman\n     brings with her shall go back to her heirs.\"\nThe following goods were brought by the said Mary Magadelena to Joist\nHite:\n    \"1  In ready money, twenty two pounds seventeen Shillings and\n        four pence.\n     2  Two mares one colt value of fourteen pounds.\n     3  Two drawing steers value three pounds, ten shillings.\n     4  Two coarse beds Cloathes in all three pounds, Sixteen\n        Shillings and six pence. And said money is adjudged to be in\n        Virginia Currency the 16th day of November, 1741, also one\n        horse mare, six pounds.\"\nAnother neighbor pioneering in the Valley was Jacob Stover who secured\nland grants. History records that he resorted to unusual methods in\nobtaining them. Upon application, it was necessary to convince the\nauthorities that the applicant could furnish a sufficient number of\nfamilies to settle the land requested. Stover did not have the required\nnumber. He took himself to England to petition the King and in order to\nbe convincing he gave names to every living thing he possessed--dogs,\nsheep, horses, cows and pigs! After his successful trip which resulted\nin receiving the land grant, he commenced selling small acreages to the\nnew-comers. He enriched himself materially, but incurred the wrath of\nhis associates.\nGerman Neighbors\nQUAKERS\nLong ago, a shrewd trader from New York, John VanMeter, came into the\nValley. He made friends with the Delawares and often went with them on\ntheir hunting trips. Once he even fought on their side against their\nenemies, the Catawbas. While on this visit South, he saw for the first\ntime the fertile native grass, which grew \"five or six feet high\", in\nthe Valley. When he returned to New York he told his sons about the rich\ncountry, far to the South, and advised them to secure some of it. One of\nthem, Isaac, took his father's advice and came to Virginia in 1736-7 and\nwith a tomahawk cut certain trees, thus making his original claim. This\nwas called the \"Tomakawk Right\".\nIsaac and his brother John secured a warrant from Governor Gooch for\nforty thousand acres of land. Later on they sold or transferred part of\ntheir grant to Joist Hite who was later called the \"Old Baron\". The\nlatter was one of the hardiest pioneers and in 1734 was appointed by the\nVirginia Council to act as magistrate. This gave him authority to settle\ndisputes, and to uphold the laws of Virginia as well as to punish all\noffenders.\nHite soon built a stone house on Opequon Creek and his sons and\ndaughters grew to be splendid men and women. His sons-in-law, George\nBowman, Jacob Chrisman and Paul Froman and their families had come with\nhim from Pennsylvania. Robert McKay, Robert Green, William Duff, Peter\nStevens and several other families helped each other select land, build\nhomes and a fort.\nWe are told that the Indians had heard of the kindly relations which\nexisted between the Indians and William Penn's colonists. We know he\npaid the Indians for their lands, and records show that many of the\nGermans, especially the Quakers, who settled on Apple Pie Ridge also\nbought lands from the Indians. These settlers were never disturbed by\nthe Indians. However, when it came to the lands which we now call the\nGreat Valley of Virginia, the Indians were agreed among themselves that\nno one tribe was to possess any of it. The lands were so fertile and so\nmuch game feasted there, that all should be at peace when in the Valley.\nSo when the first Quakers came we find these names recorded: the Neills,\nWalkers, Bransons, McKays, Hackneys, Beesoms, Luptons, Barretts, Dillons\nand Fawcetts.\nAnother Quaker, Ross, obtained a warrant for surveying lands and his\nlines were run along the Opequon, north of Winchester, and up to Apple\nPie Ridge. Soon many other Quakers from Pennsylvania were moving into\nthe Valley to settle on Ross's surveys. By 1738 these deeply religious\npeople had built homes and were holding monthly meetings to worship God.\nThey had tiny settlements up and down the Valley. They cultivated their\nfarms, took little interest in politics, cared very little for worldly\nintercourse and made excellent neighbors. Their manners and dress were\nplain, their furniture only what was necessary, their homes were crude,\nbut their barns were large and their cattle were well protected.\nThey refused to pay taxes during the Revolutionary War or to bear arms.\nThen their neighbors began to ridicule them, calling them cowards, and\nwere no longer friendly. Officers came and seized their crops or\nproperty and sold them to raise funds with which to carry on the War\nagainst England. The Legislature enacted a law whereby a Quaker either\nhad to fight or pay a substitute to fight for him. Their personal\nproperty was put under the hammer and soon they were reduced to poverty.\nOne incident will give us a picture of those far-off days. James Gotharp\nlived with his neighbors on Apple Pie Ridge. One day during the\nRevolutionary War officers came, demanding that he should march away\nwith them to join the militia; he refused. The men forced him to come\nalong and later he was made a guard. He was placed beside a baggage\nwagon and told to let no man go into the wagon who did not have a\nwritten order from the commanding officer. Along came an officer who\nstarted to climb into the vehicle. James called to him and demanded to\nsee his order of authority. The officer cursed him and stepped up to\nclimb in. James caught him by his legs and pulled his feet off the step.\nThis caused the officer to fall, striking his face against the wagon,\nbruising his nose and mouth severely.\nThe dress of the Quakers is still picturesque and many are to be seen in\ncertain sections of the Valley. They wear a broad brimmed hat, a long\nfrock coat, generally black. The women wear full skirts, down to their\nankles, black hose, plain black shoes, with round toes. Their bodices,\nusually black or gray in color, are severely cut, with long plain\nsleeves, with a high neck, relieved by a white collar. They usually wear\na small cap, made of the same material as their dress.\nDUNKARDS\nLending an air of uniqueness yet to the Valley towns is that religious\nsect called Dunkards. One sees the women of that denomination, with\ntheir little black bonnets, on almost any street in any town along the\nLee Highway.\nAt one time the sect was called Tunkers. They are an offshoot of the\nSeventh-Day Baptists and had their beginnings in the Valley a little\nafter 1732.\nWhen Dr. Thomas Walker passed through the section on his way westward he\nnoted in his journal on March 17th, 1750, \"The Dunkards are an odd set\nof people, who make it a matter of religion not to Shave their Beards,\nly on Beds, or eat Flesh though at present, in the last, they\ntransgress, being constrained to it, as they say, by the want of a\nsufficiency of Grain and Roots, they having not long been seated here. I\ndoubt the plenty and deliciousness of the Venison and Turkeys has\ncontributed not a little to this. The unmarried have no private\nProperty, but live on a common Stock. They don't baptize either Young or\nOld, they keep their Sabbath on Saturday, and hold that all men shall be\nhappy hereafter, but first must pass through punishment according to\ntheir Sins. They are very hospitable.\"\nThe Dunkards built a part of their faith around their disapproval of\nviolence, even for self-defense, and their submission to fraud or\nwrongdoing rather than resorting to court trials.\nThe Scotch-Irish in the Valley\nMany reasons caused the people of Europe to emigrate during the\neighteenth century. In Ireland and Scotland an unrest was spreading as\nseen in the story of John Lewis.\nHe was born in Ireland and was a thrifty gentleman. He fell in love with\nand married Margaret Lynn, daughter of the laird of Loch Lynn, a\ndescendant of a powerful Scotch clan. They were very happy with their\nthree little sons and soon John Lewis rented more lands from a landlord.\nThese lands brought him more and more wealth and the landlord grew\njealous. He told Lewis that he would not let him continue to cultivate\nthem, although the lease was not expired.\nOne day the landlord came to the Lewis home. He brought many of his\nhirelings and demanded that Lewis vacate the house at once. At the time,\nLewis' brother was ill and could not help him defend his home.\nMargaret, his wife, and a few servants quickly barred the doors and\nwindows and defied the landlord to enter.\nThe infuriated man began to fire into the house and one shot killed John\nLewis' brother and one wounded Margaret. John could not stand such an\noutrage any longer, so he rushed out and in the fight which followed, he\nkilled the landlord.\nHis family and neighbors, knowing the influential Irish would not give\nhim a fair trial, urged him to flee the country. At last he consented to\ngo, but before he did, he carefully wrote down all the details of the\ntrouble and sent it to the proper authorities. Then he hastily left the\ncountry and soon was on his way to Virginia. Lewis went to Williamsburg\nafter landing in Virginia. There he met a weaver, Salling, who told him\nsome of the wildest stories he had ever heard.\nThe weaver had known a peddler, named Marlin, who took his pack far into\nthe land beyond the mountains and traded his pewter ware, beads,\ncompasses and other small articles to the Indians for furs. He told\nSalling such marvelous stories of the Indians and country that the\nweaver asked to let him go on one of his trips with him. This he did,\nand the weaver had plenty of adventures before he finally got back to\nWilliamsburg.\nThe two men reached the Valley and were far beyond the Blue Ridge\nMountains when the Cherokee Indians, thinking they were spies, took them\nprisoners. Marlin had the good fortune to get away, but Salling was\ncarried farther across another mountain range into what is now Kentucky,\nwhere the Indians went to hunt buffalo. Here the Cherokees were attacked\nby their enemies from Illinois. Salling was again captured and carried\noff to the southwest. He was adopted by an old Indian squaw as her son\nand for some time he lived with her. At last a Spaniard bought him and\ntook him as an interpreter to Canada. There he met the French Governor\nwho sent him to New York and after six years, he at last reached\nWilliamsburg.\nYou would think Salling after this would have settled down and become a\nweaver again. But life was too tame. When Lewis asked him about the\nlands in the Valley, Salling decided to take him and the Englishman,\nJohn Mackay, who also wanted to go. Lewis found the country all that\nSalling had promised him and he decided to settle on a creek which bears\nhis name today.\nHe obtained authority to 100,000 acres of land in and near the ground on\nwhich he built his fort-like house. Before very long, many of his\nfriends and neighbors from Ireland were on their way to Virginia to join\nhim. Many of them settled in Western Augusta near Fort Lewis. One can\nimagine how happy it made John Lewis to be told that the authorities,\nupon investigation, had granted him a pardon and absolved him from all\nblame in the killing of his landlord before he left Ireland. These\nScotch-Irish, like their German neighbors, did not have very much\ntrouble from the Indians for several years.\nThomas, a son of John Lewis, studied and went to represent his county in\nthe House of Burgesses. He was a man of sound judgment and voted for\nPatrick Henry's celebrated resolutions.\nAndrew, another son, was a soldier, and made his home in Botetourt\nCounty. During the Indian Wars, he was made a General but not until he\nhad proved his worth in many a battle. He served with George Washington\non July 4th, 1754 when Fort Necessity was taken, and he was present when\nthe articles of the treaty were agreed upon. When Washington was made\nCommander-in-Chief, it is said he asked Lewis to accept the commission\nof brigadier-general. In 1776 he commanded the Virginians when Governor\nDunnmore was driven from Gwynn's Island and we are told he gave the\norder for attacking the enemy and he himself lighted the match to the\neighteen-pounder.\nGeneral Lewis resigned in 1780 and on his way home was taken ill with\nfever. He died near Bedford, about forty miles from home.\nWe cannot give all the accounts of William, Andrew and Charles, the\nother sons, but if one would read interesting captures and escapes from\nIndians, he will find that of Charles most exciting.\nThe sons of John and Margaret Lynn Lewis helped to develop the Valley of\nVirginia and their name is an honored one wherever it is found.\nIndians\nEarly historians give us some accounts of the various Indians in\nVirginia. Opechancanough, a warrior chief from the East, went to war\nwith Sherando, a member of the Iroquois tribe. Opechancanough in\ncrossing the mountains on a foraging expedition was once attacked by\nSherando who felt his tribe should not have to share its hunting grounds\nwith anyone else and resented the invasion. A fierce battle took place,\nwith no one victor.\nOpechancanough liked the country, so when he returned to his town below\nWilliamsburg on the Chickahominy, he left his son and a few warriors to\nwatch the hunting grounds which he had found so rich in game. This son,\nShee-wa-a-nee, with his band soon had to fight the main body of the\nIroquois and Sherando drove the Chief east of the mountains.\nOpechancanough left the lowlands as soon as the news was brought to him\nby runners. He gathered his warriors and set off with a large force. He\nfell upon Sherando and in the fierce battles which followed, he slowly\ndrove him from his grounds, and he never returned from his home near the\nGreat Lakes.\nSheewa-a-nee was left again in charge of the Hunting Grounds and from\nthat day the Shawnees held the lovely Valley until the coming of the\nwhite settlers.\nThe settlers kept many of the Indian names for both mountains and\nstreams. Opechancanough river was so called for the Great Chief. Legend\nand history tell us that in his later years he became blind and could no\nlonger hunt in the lovely Shenandoah Valley.\nThere were many tribes of Indians in the country and though they did not\nall speak the same language, they did have a common tongue and could\nunderstand each other.\nAfter 1710 all the lands west of the Blue Ridge Mountains were spoken of\nas Indian Country. The different tribes evidently had understanding\namong themselves about certain boundary lines as individual tribes had\ncertain domains. When one violated these rights, there was a war in\nwhich whole tribes sometimes would be completely wiped out.\nThe Shawnees, the most powerful and warlike of all, claimed all the\nhunting grounds west of the Blue Ridge and as far west across the\nAlleghany as the Mississippi. They had three large towns in the Valley.\nOne was near where Winchester stands today, one on the North River in\nShenandoah County, and one on the South Branch, near where Moorefield is\nsituated. They did allow other tribes to visit them in the Valley on\ncondition they pay them tribute in skins or loot.\nThe next tribe was the Tuscaroras, and they spent most of their time in\nwhat is now West Virginia.\nAnother tribe was an offshoot from the Sherandos and were called\nSenedos. They were completely wiped out by the fierce tribe of Cherokees\nfrom the South, in 1732.\nThe Catawbas were from South Carolina and had their towns along the\nriver which still bears that name.\nThe Delawares came from Pennsylvania and their villages were along the\nSusquehanna River. The Susquenoughs were a large and friendly tribe on\nthe Chesapeake Bay and they were good to the white settlers until their\nenemies, the Cenela tribes, drove them away from Tidewater Virginia.\nThen they went to the upper Potomac River. The Cenelas soon followed\nthem to the same region. Another tribe, the Piscataway, lived along the\nheadwaters of the Chesapeake Bay.\nThe Cherokees had their villages on the Tennessee River down in the\nCarolinas and Georgia and Alabama. This tribe was made up of the nations\nof the South, the Muscogluges, the Seminoles, Chickasaws, Choctaws and\nCreeks. At certain times, all these Indians made forages into the\nValley. Besides these there were those from New York--the Senecas,\nMohawks, Oneidas, Onondagas and Cayugas. These were called the Five\nNations and they too claimed the right to hunt in the Valley. These\nIndians believed, we are told, that the Great Spirit had given this\nValley to all Indians and it is not surprising that they resented the\ncoming of the white men who soon began to build homes, barns and fences\nand who claimed the right to shoot the Indians if they came on their\nproperty.\nThen the French about this time began to build forts along the St.\nLawrence River, the Great Lakes and on down the Mississippi River to the\nGulf of Mexico. The French made every effort to make friends with the\nIndians and told them the British had no right to take their lands. The\nFrench said they would protect their rights if the Indians would let\nthem. Consequently, they became allies of the French and they began to\nmove their villages and towns toward the French lines. They continued to\nkeep a part of their homes and to send back bands of hunters to look\nafter the hunting grounds beyond the mountains.\nIf the Indians had not been friendly to those pioneers who dared to\nbuild homes in the Valley, there would not have been any civilization\nthere until a much later date. But as we have seen, many of them came\nfrom Pennsylvania where William Penn and his colonists had dealt so\nfairly with the Indians. Naturally then, the Indians thought all the\nsettlers would be like those. Besides, there were so few of them, they\ndid not at first realize that their hunting grounds were being taken\nfrom them. Consequently, the Delawares and Catawbas in hunting did no\nharm, though they were bitter enemies and the settlers often saw them\nwith prisoners from the other tribes.\nThere were Indian villages on the Potomac and on both branches of the\nShenandoah. Numerous Indian mounds and graves are still to be seen in\ncertain sections of the Valley. Many of these have been opened and\nskeletons found to be in a wonderful state of preservation; utensils,\npipes, axes, tomahawks, pots and hominy pestles have been found. Their\npots and utensils were made of a mixture of clay and hard shells, very\ncrude as to workmanship but very strong.\nAfter twenty or more years of comparative peace, the Indians suddenly\nleft the Valley. In 1753 messengers came from the Western Indians into\nthe Valley and invited them to cross the Alleghany mountains. Historians\nclaim this was done through the influence of the French and later\nconsequences seem to establish the point.\nIndian Tales\nIn the year 1774 the Indians began to give serious trouble to the\nsettlers on New River. One day several children, those of the Lybrooks'\nand the Snydow's, were playing down by the river. They heard a dog\nbarking and upon looking up, saw some Indians approaching. One of the\nboys ran along the edge of the stream trying to make his escape and warn\nthe family. But one of the Indians ran ahead and cut off that means of\nescape. He also fired at two boys who were farther out in the stream,\nbut fortunately missed them.\nWhile the Indian was aiming at the boys, one of them ran up a rough path\nwhich had been made by the animals as they went back and forth to drink.\nThe boy scrambled up this path and darted by the Indian who tried his\nbest to catch him. The Indian gave pursuit and the boy ran until he came\nto a wide gulley about ten feet wide. This the boy easily jumped, but\nthe Indian hesitated and threw a buffalo tug which struck his head and\nhurt his back. But he never stopped running until he reached his\nfather's home and slipped into the fort where he told the parents of the\nattack.\nIn the meantime, five of the children who were playing in the river\nclimbed into the canoe. The Indians waded out, then swimming to the side\nof it, pulled out the children, killed them, and took their scalps.\nAn older girl, about thirteen years old, turned over the canoe and swam\ndownstream, then jumped to the opposite bank. One of the Indians pursued\nher and she screamed loudly for help. A faithful guard dog came to her\nrescue and as the Indian reached out to grab her, the dog jumped at the\nIndian, tearing the flesh in his thigh, and threw him down. This gave\nthe girl time to make her escape.\nThe Indian struck the dog a blow with his club which finally made him\nlet up on the man. The faithful dog went to the canoe and stood guard\nover the five scalped children until their people came to take them away\nfor burial. Then the dog refused to leave the spot and began to howl in\na most pitiful way. He ran into the woods and back again, keeping up his\ncries until one of the men followed him to see what was troubling him.\nThere near a tree, he found a little boy of six years, bleeding to death\nfrom a scalp wound.\nIn 1760 two Indians were seen hiding around Mill Creek. Mr. Painter, his\nbrother John and William Moore went in search of them. After some time\nthey came to a newly fallen pine tree which had a very bushy top.\n\"We had better be careful,\" Mathias Painter said as they neared the\nfallen tree. \"There may be Indians hidden in it.\" As he spoke, an Indian\nfired from the tree. His bullet grazed John's temple not injuring him.\nThen the other two white men fired at the Indians, striking one of them\nwho fell to the ground. They supposed him to be dead, so they pursued\nthe one who had fled, leaving his gun and loot behind him.\nBut the Indian was strong and he outran the two men. Imagine their\nsurprise when they returned, and found the Indian gone whom they had\nsupposed dead, taking the guns and pack of skins with him. The white men\npicked up his trail and followed him. He hid himself in a sink-hole and\nwhen the men came near he opened fire on them. He poured out his powder\non the dry grass in front of him so he could reload his gun more\nquickly. He fired at least thirty times before the two men finally were\nable to kill him.\nThe Indian who had gotten away met a young woman of the neighborhood who\nwas riding horseback. He tore her from the horse and forced her to go\nwith him. This happened near where New Market stands today. They\ntravelled about twenty miles or more. The Indian became impatient\nbecause she complained of being so tired. People near Keesleton heard\ncries in the night. The next day when they went to see who had made\nthem, they found a pine knot on which blood was still fresh. Nearby,\nthey found the poor girl, already dead from the cruel blows and from\nloss of blood.\nThe Moore Massacre\nOne of the most beautiful sections in Southwestern Virginia is called\nAb's Valley, in Tazewell County. It was first settled by Captain James\nMoore, one of the Scotch-Irish Presbyterians, who had moved from\nRockingham County in 1775. There was no river running through the ten\nmiles of fertile grounds, but several springs watered the tall grass\nwhich afforded fine grazing for stock and game. Captain Moore's\nbrother-in-law, Mr. Robert Poage, came to live nearby, but they were the\nonly settlers in that neighborhood. Their nearest neighbors and a fort\nwere over twelve miles away.\nIn the Spring of 1782 the Indians came to Mr. Poage's house and burst\nthrough the heavy door without any warning. They did not expect to find\nany men there and when they saw there were three they did not attempt to\nenter the house. The next morning, a man named Richardson, who worked on\nthe place, went out to look at some deer skins which he had soaking in a\nnearby pond. The Indians crept up and shot him, taking his scalp.\nTwo years passed before the Indians attacked the Moore family. James, a\nyoung boy of fourteen, was sent by Captain Moore to get some horses from\na field about two miles from his home. He wanted James to go to the mill\nand for this he needed an extra horse.\nJames had gone only a short distance when three Indians sprang from\nbehind a log and caught hold of the boy. He screamed and the Indian laid\nhis hand over his mouth and in the Indian language told him to keep\nstill.\nBlack Wolf was the name of the middle-aged Indian. His son was about\neighteen years old. The other Indian seemed to be one of Black Wolf's\nmen. James said he was not so very much frightened after he was told he\nbelonged to Black Wolf, though he was one of the sternest looking men he\nhad ever seen. Black Wolf gave James some salt and told him to catch\nsome of his father's horses for him. James said he would, meaning he\nwould catch two, and try to make his escape on one of them. But every\ntime he caught a horse the Indians ran up and frightened it so it would\nget away. At last the Indians gathered up their blankets and pots where\nthey were hidden in the grass and motioned for James to fall in line.\nThe young Indian went first, then the Indian man, then James, followed\nby Black Wolf.\nJames tried to break off pieces of bushes so his father could tell which\nway he had gone. Black Wolf tapped his shoulder and shook his head. Then\nhe tried to leave signs by digging his toes down into the soft earth.\nAgain Black Wolf shook his head.\nAfter they had gone a long way, about sundown Black Wolf gave a long\nwar-whoop. He did the same the next morning at sunrise. The Indians did\nthis to show they had a prisoner. They gave one cry for each prisoner\ntaken. If they had taken scalps, the cry would have been a different\nkind.\nBefore they lay down in the thicket that night, Black Wolf searched\nJames to see if he carried a knife. Then he took out a halter and tied\nit fast to James' neck and wrapped the other end around his hand.\nThe next morning Black Wolf left James with the other two Indians and\nwent off to get a Dutch oven which he had taken on one of his other\nexpeditions. He gave this to James to carry. He fastened it to James'\nback, but after it rubbed a sore place, James threw it down and refused\nto carry it further. Black Wolf then took off the huge bundle which he\ncarried and told James to take it. But he could not even lift it from\nthe ground. The Indian then pointed to the Dutch oven, and he found it\nwas not so bad to carry after he padded it with leaves.\nHe found out how long the Indians could go without much food. For three\nwhole days they had only water in which poplar bark had been steeped. On\nthe fourth day they shot a buffalo. They took a small bit of the meat\nand made a clear broth which they drank but Black Wolf did not let them\neat any of the meat until the next day, this being their custom after\nfasting.\nJames said he travelled the whole way barefooted. Of course his feet\nbecame sore from bruises. He saw many rattlesnakes, but he was not\nallowed to kill them as the Indians considered them to be their friends.\nJames knew that the Shawnees, of whom Black Wolf was a member, lived far\nto the West. He believed they must be nearing their town after he had\ntravelled for twenty days. He told of how they made a raft of logs on\nwhich they crossed the Ohio and other streams. He learned how to twine\nthe long grapevines around the logs to make the raft. He saw how the\nIndians made crude pictures in the banks of the streams to let other\nIndians know they had a prisoner. Black Wolf stopped and drew three\nIndians and a boy.\nWhen the Indians came near their town they painted themselves black.\nThey left him white as an omen of safety. Black Wolf traded James to his\nhalf-sister for a horse. James later found out why he was not taken into\nthe town. It was a time of peace and if they had seen the new prisoner,\nthey might have made him run the gauntlet. The old squaw was kind to him\nand sometimes left him alone in the wigwam for days at a time. He said\nhe prayed to God to keep him safe. We cannot give all his experiences\nwith the Indians, but he was finally sold to a French trader from\nDetroit. His name was Baptist Ariome and he liked James, for he looked\nlike his own son. He gave the old squaw fifty dollars' worth of silver\nbrooches, beads, and other trinkets in Indian money.\nJames met a man who was a trader from Kentucky, a Mr. Sherlock. This man\npromised to write to James' father and tell him of his capture, of his\nbeing sold and of his being taken to Detroit. After some time, as we\nshall see, he did get back to Virginia.\nBut in the meantime, many other things were happening to the Moore\nfamily. In July 1786, several of the hundred head of horses which\nbelonged to Captain Moore came in to the salt block to get salt. Captain\nMoore went out to see them, about two hundred yards from the house.\nNearby were two of his children, William and Rebecca, who were coming\nfrom the spring; not far away was another child, Alexander. All at once\na stream of bullets began to fly. Thirty Indians had hidden themselves\nin the tall grass which almost surrounded the Moore home. William and\nRebecca were killed instantly. Captain Moore ran to the fence which\nseparated the lot from the house and as he climbed over, he was struck\nby several bullets. The Indians then ran up and scalped him.\nTwo men who lived with the Moores were not far away in a field, reaping\nwheat. When they heard the shooting they ran toward the house but when\nthey saw it was surrounded by Indians they made their escape and went\noff to give the alarm to other settlers who were six miles away.\nMrs. Moore and Martha Evans, the girl in the house with her, quickly\nbarred the door when they saw the tragedy. They took down the rifles\nwhich had been fired the night before and gave them to an old\nEnglishman, John Simpson, who was ill, to load for them. But the old man\ncould not help them, for he had been struck by a bullet as he lay sick.\nMartha Evans soon decided to hide under a loose board in the floor of\nthe cabin. Polly Moore, a little girl of eight, was holding her baby\nsister who was screaming with fear. Martha told Polly to get under the\nboard too, but she decided to stay with the baby.\nThen the Indians burst down the door and lunged in. They took Mrs. Moore\nprisoner and four children, John, Polly, Jane, and Peggy. They took\neverything they fancied, then set the house on fire.\nPoor Mrs. Moore saw the Indians kill her son because he was sick and\ncould not keep up with them. They killed the baby because it cried so\npitiously. They had to have their hands tied, as had James, and they,\ntoo, fasted.\nWhen at last they reached the Indian town, Mrs. Moore and Jane were\nkilled by torture and death at the stake. Polly was treated more kindly\nand was finally sold to a man near Lake Erie, for a half gallon of rum!\nNow fate seems to have taken a hand in bringing Polly and her brother\nJames together in that far-away country. While on a hunting expedition\nJames heard about the destruction of his family. He was told that his\nsister Polly had been bought by a Mr. Stogwell, a man of bad character.\nIt was in the Winter, so James waited until Spring when Mr. Stogwell\nmoved into the same section of the country where he was living.\nWhen James went to see them he found Polly very miserable. Her clothing\nwas only rags and she had almost lost hope of ever seeing any of her\npeople again. James found that Mr. Stogwell was unkind, too, so he went\nwith Simon Girty to Colonel McKee, Superintendent of Indians, to get her\nrelease. He had Mr. Stogwell brought to trial, but they did not have\nenough evidence and Polly could not leave him. However, after much\ntrouble, James was able to get passage for Polly and himself on a\ntrading boat and came down the Great Lakes. They landed in a Moravian\ntown where they met some friends owning horses. They journeyed to\nPittsburgh and stayed until Spring. Then they set off for Virginia, sad,\nof course, knowing how few there would be to welcome them. Yet they were\ndelighted to find their brother Joseph was still safe. He had been\nvisiting his grandfather in Rockbridge County at the time of the\nmassacre.\nPolly met and married the Reverend Samuel Brown, a Presbyterian\npreacher. They had seven sons, and five of them were ministers.\nWashington's Boyhood Friend--Lord Fairfax\n\"The Proprietor of the Northern Neck,\" Lord Fairfax, lived at \"Greenway\nCourt\" after first having a country seat at Belvoir near the Potomac\nRiver in what is now Fairfax County.\nAn interesting character this Fairfax must have been. Born with a title\nin England, he moved in intellectual circles there, was acquainted with\nmen of letters such as Addison and actually contributed some articles to\nthe _Spectator_. Either through boredom or a disappointment in not\nwinning the lady of his choice he decided to leave his country and come\nto Virginia.\nIt may be of passing interest to learn that Lord Fairfax, although\nproprietor of thousands upon thousands of acres, lived in a\ncomparatively simple way. His home was an unpretentious story and a half\nframe building, situated in a large grove of trees, and surrounded by\nsmaller homes for servants and tenants. \"Greenway Court,\" the name given\nthe home, very probably lacked more indications of elegance and grace\nbecause of Fairfax's bachelor state.\nA mile from the house he had erected a white-oak post which served as\nguide for those in search of his dwelling. At White Post, the village\nwhich derived its name from the signpost, one may see a replica of the\noriginal, located on the site of the first one placed there in 1760 by\nthe proprietor.\nHis domain, called the \"Northern Neck of Virginia,\" comprised the\npresent counties of Lancaster, Northumberland, Richmond, Westmoreland,\nStafford, King George, Prince William, Fairfax, Loudon, Fauquier,\nCulpeper, Clarke, Madison and Page in Virginia and numerous counties in\nWest Virginia.\nLord Fairfax was exceptionally interested in fox hunting and reserved\ngreat tracts for this sport. Sometimes he spent weeks at a time hunting.\nHe made a rule that whoever caught the fox should cut off its tail and\nhold it aloft and should have no part of the expense of the subsequent\nfrolic. As soon as a fox was started all the young men would gallop off\nat a great rate, while Fairfax waited behind with a servant familiar\nwith the hills and streams and who had a good ear; following the\nservant's directions he frequently stuck the fox's tail in his hat and\nrejoined the hunters!\nFamiliar to everyone is the fact that Lord Fairfax engaged Washington, a\nboy of about sixteen, to survey his vast lands beyond the Blue Ridge.\nThrough this undertaking the latter gained a thorough knowledge of\nfrontier life and a reputation for dependability and self-confidence.\nThese attributes were to be needed later for participation in the French\nand Indian War. A warm and lasting friendship grew up between the\nproprietor and Washington.\nBeing British by birth and sympathy the course of the Revolution was\nwatched with mingled hopes and anxieties by Fairfax. When news of the\nfinal capitulation at Yorktown arrived late in October 1781 the feeble,\ndisappointed and tired old man called his servant and asked to be put to\nbed since he felt the time had come for him to die. In December of that\nsame year the great proprietor of the Northern Neck of Virginia died.\nWinchester--The Frontier Town of the Valley\nThe first inhabitants of Winchester were a large tribe of Shawnee\nIndians. Two houses occupied by white men are supposed to have been\nstanding as early as 1738.\nKnown as Old Town and Fredericktown it was named Winchester in 1752 in\nhonor of the English home of its founder, Colonel James Wood. The\nsettlement grew so rapidly it was necessary several times to enlarge its\nboundaries. Colonel Wood and Lord Fairfax both donated additional lots\nin order to extend the corporate limits of the town.\nDuring the French and Indian War Colonel George Washington was asked to\ngo to Winchester to defend the Valley. He found refugees overrunning the\nplace and determined to build a fort on the outskirts of the town which\nwould afford protection in case of raids. He imported his own blacksmith\nto do the foundry work, so anxious was he to speed the construction of\nthe fortifications. Fort Loudon was the name given, after Lord Loudon\nthe commander of the colonial forces, and a successful defense was made\nagainst the French there. It may be of interest to learn that the fort's\nbastion still remains and the well which supplied water during the\nFrench and Indian War is still in use today.\nNo account of Winchester would be complete if the story of General\nDaniel Morgan were omitted. Of Scotch-Irish extraction he came with his\nparents from New Jersey to the new settlement. As a youngster he was\nconsidered something of a bully. The story goes that around\n\"Battletown,\" an intersection in the roads where toughs used to fight\nfor the joy of combat, young Morgan was in the habit of placing large\nstones at strategic points. In case he had to retreat he was able to\ndraw on this supply of ammunition!\nTradition has it that on one occasion young Dan Morgan had just arrived\nin Winchester from the Western settlements on the South Branch--as a\ndriver of a pack for the fur traders. George Washington was ready with\nhis small party to go to the Ohio Country with a message to the French\nofficials not to continue their fort building on English property.\n[Illustration:-_Courtesy Virginia State Chamber of Commerce_\nGEORGE WASHINGTON'S HEADQUARTERS, WINCHESTER, VA.]\nWashington's journal gives the following notes: \"On Ye 17th day of Ye\nmonth of Novemo,--the party consists of one guide and packer, one Indian\ninterpreter, one French interpreter and four gentlemen.\" We know now\nthat the celebrated Gist was his guide and Vanbraam his interpreter. It\nis said that Morgan offered his services too as a guide, and was\naccepted. It was on this perilous trip, perhaps, that each of these\nyoung men realized the fine traits of the other.\nIt was Daniel Morgan who, at the outbreak of the Revolution, marched a\nhundred men with one wagon of supplies to Boston to report to General\nWashington. He fought at Quebec and Saratoga and defeated Tarleton at\nCowpens. He had charge of Hessian prisoners captured at Saratoga and\nthere are evidences yet of his supervision of construction of stone\nwalls and homes and the mill at Millwood built with prisoner labor.\n\"Saratoga\" is the name he gave his home near Boyce; it was built mainly\nby the Hessian artisans. On his way to Gettysburg in 1863 General Lee\nused the fine old house as headquarters. This estate is on the road\nbetween Winchester and Boyce and is in full view of the highway.\nThere is a wealth of amusing tales told about the old city, some dating\nas far back as its conception; others have to do with the activities of\nlater times.\nThe story is still heard in Winchester of the time when guests and\nvillage loafers were congregated in one of the taverns at the close of a\nday to discuss weighty topics over their glasses of ale. From a window\nthey saw an old man get out of his gig, taking with him luggage for\novernight accommodation. The gig was comparable to the famed One Horse\nShay in its state of near collapse. Comments were passed among the group\ninside as to the man's shabby appearance, his business and ultimate\ndestination. He was soon forgot in the midst of the ensuing conversation\nbetween several young lawyers, one of whom remarked that he had heard a\nsermon delivered which equalled the eloquence and fluency usually\nreserved to lawyers pleading their cases. This brought forth eventually\na heated discussion of the merits of the Christian religion, argued pro\nand con by those present lasting from six in the evening till eleven.\nFinally one young fellow turned to the quiet old traveller. The latter\nhad sat with apparent interest and meekness throughout the five-hour\ndebate and had not joined in. The question was asked, \"Well, old\ngentleman, what's your opinion?\"\nThe reply lasted almost an hour; he answered argument for argument in\nthe exact order in which each had occurred and with the greatest\nsimplicity and dignity. At the conclusion no one spoke for some time. At\nlast inquiry was ventured as to his identity. He was Chief Justice John\nMarshall.\nIn his _Virginia: A History of the People_ John Esten Cooke relates this\nstory. An Irish laborer and his wife came in 1767 to the lower valley\ncountry and stopped at the home of a Mr. and Mrs. Strode, German\nlandowner. For several years they lived with the German family and\nduring the time a son was born. When they decided to push on farther\nsouth the Strode children followed, begging that they leave the little\nboy behind with them. They had become very much attached to the baby and\nwere reluctant to see him go away. The parents naturally refused the\nrequest. While stopping for a short rest they placed the baby on the\nground and the children would have run off with him if they could.\nThe family kept its southward course and at last reached the Waxhaws in\nNorth Carolina. Here the boy grew up and later his name was familiar to\nevery one--Andrew Jackson, seventh President of the United States.\nThe legend may or may not be true, according to Mr. Cooke. But at least\nthere was a clear, cool spring on the Strode farm called \"Jackson's\nSpring.\"\nA pamphlet compiled at Winchester on \"What To See and How To See It\"\ntells us that the town changed hands seventy-six times during the War\nBetween the States. Other sources give a fraction of a smaller figure.\nThe exact number of times the town was under first Federal then\nConfederate forces does not matter, but it is well to know that so much\nof the fighting took place around the neighborhood. More will be said\nabout the Valley warfare later on.\nBeginning in November 1861 and continuing until March of the following\nyear General Jackson had his headquarters in Winchester. After finding\nsuitable quarters he sent for his wife who had remained at their home in\nLexington, Virginia. Colonel Henderson in his well-known book,\n_Stonewall Jackson,_ quotes Mrs. Jackson as saying of her stay that\nWinter:\n     \"The Winchester ladies were amongst the most famous of Virginia\n     housekeepers, and lived in a good deal of old-fashioned\n     elegance and profusion. The old border town had not then\n     changed hands with the conflicting armies, as it was destined\n     to do so many times during the war. Under the rose-colored\n     light in which I viewed everything that winter, it seemed to me\n     that no people could have been more cultivated, attractive, and\n     noble-hearted. Winchester was rich in happy homes and pleasant\n     people; and the extreme kindness and appreciation shown General\n     Jackson by all bound us to them so closely and warmly that ever\n     after that winter he called the place our 'war home'.\"\nWinchester rightly claims that it is in the \"heart of the apple\nindustry,\" for thousands of acres are devoted to the growing of fine\napples. Over a million barrels are harvested annually and at Winchester,\nwe believe, is the largest cold storage apple plant in the world.\nCelebrating its crop each year, the city stages an apple blossom\nfestival during the latter part of April or the first of May when the\norchards for miles around are filled with the delicately tinted pink\nblooms. This is a lavish sort of entertainment. A queen is selected to\nreign over the festivities, her maids are invited from surrounding\nsections of the country to participate in the parades and balls which\nare given during the days' programs. If you haven't been already, plan\nto attend an Apple Blossom Festival and see Virginia in one of her\nprettiest moods--with gay young ladies and bloom-filled orchards.\nYou know of the \"Tom, Dick and Harry\" trio of Winchester and its\nneighborhood, don't you? They are the world famous Byrd brothers,\ndescendants of the founder of Richmond, Colonel William Byrd of Westover\non the James. Tom Byrd is a successful planter and orchardist. Richard\nByrd is noted for his polar expeditions; now he is devoting all his\nenergies towards the perpetuation of peace for our country. Harry Byrd\nwas at one time a progressive young Governor of the State and now serves\nas a Senator in the United States Congress.\nThe Valley Pike\n\"Route Eleven\" as the road is called from Winchester to Bristol is one\nof the most historic as well as the most beautiful in all Virginia. It\nstretches, like a broad silver ribbon, for over three hundred and fifty\nmiles. It begins at the northern end of the Valley, near the Potomac\nRiver, and leads one through the fertile Valley, southward and winding\never westward through the Blue Ridge and the Alleghany mountains.\nLet us review this famous driveway. Long before the coming of the white\nmen, the Indians followed almost a natural trail, as they journeyed back\nand forth into the richest hunting grounds known anywhere in all their\nworld. Along it they found the big elk, bear, buffalo, wolves, foxes,\nwild turkeys and smaller game.\nThe first pioneers followed this Indian Trail, as they called it. Then,\nas they developed the country more and more, they brought in horses and\noxen. This made a wider road and soon they were rolling their hogsheads\nof tobacco and grain over it. They carried their products to market in\nheavy wagons, swapping their wild bees' honey, venison, grain, and\nhand-woven linen for the precious salt, sugar, iron and lead. Over this\nroad came an ever increasing number of other pioneers to settle near\nthose already living in the rich Valley. They brought their furniture,\nguns, and families and a most fervent respect for the priceless liberty\nto be found there. Liberty where one could worship God as one pleased.\nLiberty where one's children could share in the development and in a new\ncountry, full of opportunities.\nHistorians claim that the young George Washington surveyed this road\nthrough the Valley. Engineers today say that he did a wonderful work and\nthat they would make a few changes in it. Let us look at some of the\nfamous names of those who lived near or travelled over it. Some of them\nlived within sight of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains while others\nvisited from one end of it to the other. As one travels near Winchester,\nhe reads the names of John Marshall, George Washington, and General\nMorgan. From Charlottesville one reads of Patrick Henry visiting Thomas\nJefferson at Monticello. There, too, were Lewis and Clarke, men famous\nin the development of our West, the McCormicks, the Houstons, the\nAustins and other noted Virginians who went West and settled there.\nBy now the Road was being called by many names, such as \"The Old Indian\nTrail\", \"The Great Road\", the \"Settlers's Road\", while still others\ncalled it the \"Wilderness Road\".\nThen came peace and prosperity after the French and Indian War and that\nof the Revolution. Finer horses and carriages were being brought into\nthe Valley and so a better road had to be built. Some thrifty soul\nsuggested having a splendid road which should be maintained by\ntollgates. And so was built the famous \"Valley Pike\". This was the\npride, not only of the Valley, but of all Virginia and the South.\nInteresting stories are told every day, as one travels over this\nbeautiful road, such as that of Charlotte Hillman who kept a tollgate\nalong the Pike. While Sheridan was making his famous raid through the\nValley (when he remarked that a crow travelling through the countryside\nwould have to carry a knapsack with provisions for his flight), he came\nto the tollgate. Charlotte let down the gate and demanded toll from the\narmy before allowing it to pass. The General and his staff paid the toll\nbut he refused to pay for the entire corps. She lifted the gate but cut\na notch on a tree for every ten soldiers who passed. At the close of the\nWar she presented the United States Government with a bill--which is\nsaid to have been paid in full.\nToday Route Eleven is known as the Lee-Jackson Highway, so called in\nhonor of Generals Robert Edward Lee and \"Stonewall\" Jackson. As you\ntravel through the Great Valley of Virginia may you know more intimately\nthe great men and women who have built not only the Great Valley of\nVirginia, but who have helped in the making of America. We hope this\nlittle book may make you know them and love Virginia more ... and we\nhope you will come again and again to enjoy the Great Valley of\nVirginia. Berryville\nLong before the County of Clarke was ordered to be carved from\nFrederick, a town was established called Battletown. This was so called,\nsays tradition, because of the rough and-tumble fights of the gang who\nmet there to drink their ale.\nDaniel Morgan, a picturesque character of the Valley, thought he had the\nright to stop such fights and so he frequently got into the fray. Old\nrecords show that Morgan sometimes had to pay a fine \"for misbehavior.\"\nBut no doubt it was here that he won his strength and learned to\nout-match the toughs of the neighborhood. Certainly he won a reputation\nfor his prowess, and as a general he won distinction.\nThe town changed its name in 1798 when it was granted a charter and\nbecame Berryville. It was named for its founder Benjamin Berry, who\ndonated the land and when Clark County was formed in 1836, Berryville\nwas chosen as the county seat.\nTradition tells us that George Washington boarded with Captain Charles\nSmith when he was in the Valley surveying for Lord Fairfax. This home\nwas about a half mile from the present Berryville. His office while in\nthe Valley was a small log building which was used as a spring house for\n\"Soldier's Rest.\" A cold spring of water flows under the floor of the\nfirst room, which is about twelve feet square. George used the room\nupstairs for his sleeping quarters. It was there he kept his instruments\nand carefully recorded in his diary his experiences. It was there he\nmade out his reports for Lord Fairfax. Howe, an early historian, tells\nus about that youth of sixteen. Quoting Bancroft, he writes: \"The woods\nof Virginia sheltered the youthful George Washington, the son of a\nwidow. Born by the side of the Potomac, beneath the roof of a\nWestmoreland farmer, almost from infancy his lot had been the lot of an\norphan. No academy had welcomed him to its shade, no college crowned him\nwith its honors, to read, to write, to cipher--these had been his\ndegrees of knowledge. And now at sixteen years, in quest of an honest\nmaintainance, encountering intolerable toil, cheered onward by being\nable to write to a boyhood friend, 'Dear Richard, a doubloon is my\nconstant gain every day, and sometimes six pistoles.' He was his own\ncook, having no spit but a forked stick, no plate but a large chip;\nroaming over the spurs of the Alleghanies and along the banks of the\nShenandoah, alive to nature, among skin-clad savages, with their scalps\nand rattles, or uncouth emigrants that would never speak English, rarely\nsleeping in a bed, holding a bear skin a splendid couch, glad of a\nresting place for a night upon a little hay, straw or fodder ... this\nstripling surveyor in the woods, with no companion but his unlettered\nassociates, and no implements of science but his compass and chain,\ncontrasted strangely with his fellows. And yet God had not selected a\nNewcastle, nor a monarch of the Hapsburg, nor of Hanover, but the\nVirginia Stripling to give to human affairs and as far as events can\ndepend upon individuals, had placed the rights and destinies of\ncountless millions in the keeping of the widow's son.\"\nWhile in the Valley of Virginia the young George Washington learned how\nto tell the age of various trees by the thickness of their bark. The\nolder a tree is, the thicker the bark and it is much rougher and thicker\non the north side of the tree. He learned to know the course of the\nwinds and to get to the leeward of his game when out hunting for food or\nskins. This was done by putting his finger in his mouth and holding it\nthere until it became warm, then holding it high above his head; the\nside which became cold showed him which way the wind was blowing. He\nlearned that the deer always seeks the sheltered places and the leeward\nside of the hills. In rainy weather, they keep in the open woods and on\nthe highest grounds. He found that the fur or skins of animals are good\nin all those months in which an \"R\" is found in the spelling.\nHe learned how to track animals, to know the various birds' songs and\ncries. He watched the hunters build their camp fires and learned how to\ncook his own game.\nFront Royal\nAs most of us know, Charles II lived in such extravagant style and had\nsuch a luxurious court he had difficulty in keeping his bills paid. He\nwas accustomed to resorting to one scheme after another in order to\nraise revenue. At one time he dreamt of great wealth from the Virginia\ncolony through its tobacco crop--and it did supply him generously with\ntaxes.\nRealizing a lucrative business might be established by trading in furs\nwith the Indians, Charles ordered Governor Berkeley to send explorers\nbeyond the mountains. The governor chose a man of whom history records\nvery little. John Lederer was at one time a Franciscan monk. He\nobviously had leanings towards an adventuresome life. In 1761 he set out\nfor the West, under the compulsion of Governor Berkeley. The party was\ncomposed of five Indian guides and a Colonel Catlett. They went through\nManassas Gap in the neighborhood of Front Royal.\nThe expedition proved a failure because of the unfriendly attitude of\nthe Indians and the roughness of the country. Charles was destined for\nanother disappointment.\nWhite settlers came to Front Royal as early as 1734 and built their\nlittle houses in sheltered coves near the Shenandoah. Soon, news of the\ndesirable home sites in the Valley attracted other settlers. Lehewtown\nwas the early name given the settlement.\nRough characters began to find their way here and shootings, brawls and\nhard drinking were the order of the day--so much so that the place later\nbecame known as \"Helltown.\" However, it acquired more dignity and order\nwith the years and about 1788 it was incorporated under the name of\nFront Royal. And why did the town get its double name? There are several\nexisting legends as to the derivation of the town's present name.\nThe trails from Page and Shenandoah valleys crossed at this point. One\naccount states that the settlers going from one place to another met at\na tavern at the crossroads where the Royalist troops were stationed.\nHence ground around the town was a military post. When the sentry on\nguard called out \"Front\" and the settlers were not able to give the\npassword \"Royal.\" The name Camp Front Royal was given the post and later\nit was known by the last two words.\nA particularly tragic battle occurred at Front Royal in May, 1862, when\nthe First Maryland Regiment of the Union forces met the First Maryland\nRegiment of the Confederate Army. It happened when Stonewall Jackson\ncame out suddenly from the Page valley and attacked General Banks' left\nwing stationed at this town. The Federals were defeated and were driven\non through Rivertown where they tried hard to burn the bridges and cut\noff the Confederate advance. The cavalry of the latter under Ewell saved\nthe bridges which spanned the two branches of the Shenandoah River.\nAbout two weeks later the Confederates themselves burned the bridges,\nbut this was after Jackson had flanked Banks away from the position at\nStrasburg, followed him to Winchester and won a victory there.\nFlint Hill\nIn 1861 young Albert Willis was a theological student. Like many others,\nhe left his studies to enter the services of the Confederate Army. While\nhe was not a chaplain in Mosby's Rangers in which he had enlisted, he\ndid carry on his pastoral work with the men by giving them Bibles,\nholding some services, and writing home for those who could not write;\nno day passed during which he did not find an opportunity to be of\nservice to the men.\nOne day in October, 1864 he was granted a furlough and was riding\nsouthward to Culpeper, hoping to reach his home in that county. Not far\naway from Flint Hill his horse lost a shoe, so he stopped at Gaines\nMill. There was a rickety old blacksmith shop at the crossroads. It had\nbeen raining and he was very wet. While the horse was being shod, he\nstood near the fire to dry his boots. The beat of the hammer on the iron\ndrowned out the sounds of approaching horses on which rode Federal\nsoldiers.\nWillis was taken captive and joined another prisoner outside. The two\nConfederates were told that one of them must die in reprisal for the\ndeath of a Federal soldier who had been killed the day before.\nThe prisoners were carried before General William H. Powell, Union\nCavalry leader. Someone told General Powell that Mr. Willis was a\nchaplain.\n\"If you are a chaplain,\" General Powell told him, \"your life will be\nspared.\"\n\"I am not a chaplain,\" the young Confederate replied, \"I am a soldier,\nfighting in the ranks.\"\nGeneral Powell then told the Confederates that one of them would be\nhanged within an hour. They would be given straws to draw lots. In this\nway would one be spared.\nWillis replied that he was a Christian and was not afraid to die. He\ninsisted that the other Confederate who was a married man, be set free.\nThe doomed man was led out to a spot on the road near Flint Hill. A rope\nwas placed around his neck while the other end was tied to a young\nsapling which had been bent down by the weight of several Federal\nsoldiers.\nWhile the preparations were being made, young Willis knelt down and\nprayed. A witness said he never heard such a beautiful prayer, lacking\nall bitterness. When he was through, the men released the tree and it\nsprang into its natural position, swinging Willis high into the air,\nwhere the body was left.\nWhen the Federals had gone, Mr. John Ricketts came by with a companion\nand they cut down the rope, took the body of the brave Confederate and\nburied it in the cemetery at Flint Hill. Today there is a stone which\nmarks his resting place and every Spring women go and place flowers on\nhis grave. Nearby is a small chapel named in honor of him--\"Willis\nChapel.\"\nGeneral Powell knew that young Willis was not accused as a spy, but he\nwas carrying out an order, issued in August 1864 by General U. S. Grant,\nwhich read: \"When any of Mosby's men are caught hang them without\ntrial.\"\nThe Skyline Drive\nThis world famous drive is not very old in point of years, but its lure\nhas and is attracting thousands of visitors every week to see the\nbeauties along its borders. Beginning at the northern entrance at Front\nRoyal, one winds around curving grades of finely built roads which pass\nthrough great forests of oak, walnut, maple and wonderful specimens of\nevergreens.\nWest of the Drive one sees the eastern section of the Shenandoah Valley\nand Massanutten Mountain which divides the Shenandoah River into two\nforks for fifty miles or more. The river winds in and out and at one\nplace the guide will point out eleven bits of blue river spots as it\nmakes as many turns through the Valley. One thinks of old patchwork\nquilts as he looks into the Valley below, for there are patches of\ngreen fields, oblong bits of blue water, red roofs of barns and homes,\nbesides the various shades of greenwood lots.\n[Illustration:--_Courtesy Virginia State Chamber of Commerce_\nVIEW ALONG THE SKYLINE DRIVE IN THE SHENANDOAH NATIONAL PARK]\nAnd no matter when or how often one goes, the views are never the same.\nSometimes the blue haze from the Blue Ridge Mountains makes the sunlight\nturn to a golden mist. Clouds often cast huge moving shadows over the\nfields and forests below--and sometimes they shut out the patchwork\nentirely, leaving the visitor in a gray world, with only himself and the\nclouds below and above. But this is unusual.\nTall stark gray chestnut trees make a striking contrast against the\ngreens and flowers, especially in the Fall when the leaves are so\nbrilliantly colored. These once-producing nut trees were killed by\nblight years ago.\nOccasionally one's attention is caught by a moving object high above on\nsome peak. This will prove, upon investigation, to be a hiker, or maybe\ntwo or more. Every year more and more of these nature lovers are using\nthe Appalachian Trail, which, as you know, is the foot-trail from Maine\nto Georgia. It was through the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club that this\nlink in the trail was included in the Skyline Drive and they maintain\nlocked shelters for hikers along the way within the park.\nOther trails invite one to lofty peaks through wild canyons and into\ngroves of giant hemlocks. Another takes one through White Oak Canyon\nwhere a stream of pure water tumbles over huge rocks and makes a\nsnow-white misty spray. Here one sees rare wild flowers, ferns, moss and\nherbs. There are trout lilies, Solomon's-seal, Hepatic\u00e6 and many other\nvarieties of flowers.\nThere is a trail to Big and Little Devil's Staircases where two hundred\nfoot cliffs protect narrow canyons filled with maidenhair fern,\nspleenwort, cinnamon, wild parsley, ginseng and ginger. Tall maple and\ntulip trees are lovingly intertwined by such clinging vines as trumpet\nvines and honeysuckle while at their feet grow rare ferns and carpets of\nmoss. One hears the songs of the birds and sees the flashing of their\nbrilliant colored wings.\nNot far from Mary's Rock is Skyland. Here the tourist finds\naccommodations for overnight or longer. Big roaring fires at evening\nmake visitors linger to listen to the stories of the Valley.\nHorseback riding is great sport for the Skyline guests who explore the\nvarious trails nearby.\nThe visitor may leave the drive at Panorama and go west down the\nmountain to Luray. Or he may go east from Panorama down a lovely road to\nSperryville. Then on Route 211 he may motor north to Washington or, if\nhe would like to go by way of Culpeper, Madison, Orange and\nFredericksburg, he would find a rolling country and inviting roads to\nthe west, south and east.\nIf the visitor would continue the drive to Swift Run Gap, he could go\nover the Spotswood Trail to Elkton and to the Valley beyond. If he would\ngo east, he would also use the Spotswood Trail to Stanardsville and\nGordonsville, then to Orange or to Charlottesville.\nWho dreamed the dream or had the first vision of the Skyline Drive? What\nfarsighted men started the movement which resulted in our national\ngovernment's making a great scenic park in Virginia?\nA bulletin from the _Commonwealth_ gives the following summary:\n     \"The movement which has made this area a national park was\n     begun in 1924 when the director of the National Park Service\n     and the Secretary of the Interior conferred on the\n     establishment of a park in the southern Appalachian Mountains.\n     The Secretary appointed a committee to choose the most\n     attractive and suitable area; in December, 1924, his committee\n     voted unanimously for the area of the Blue Ridge mountains\n     between Front Royal and Waynesboro to be the first large\n     national park in the East....\n     \"Acquisition of the area was a very difficult task. In 1926 the\n     newly created Virginia State Commission on Conservation and\n     Development started field work, and the Shenandoah National\n     Park Association began a campaign to raise funds for the\n     purchase of the land. The required area was made up of 3,870\n     separate tracts. Most of the owners did not wish to sell; land\n     titles were not clear nor boundaries well defined; sufficient\n     money to make the purchase was not available. Congress reduced\n     the minimum area required for administration, protection, and\n     development of the park by the National Park Service. Certain\n     individuals made large donations. The Virginia legislature\n     appropriated $1,000,000 for acquisition and passed a special\n     law providing for wholesale condemnation of the land. Finally,\n     in 1935, at a total cost of approximately $2,000,000, 275\n     square miles were acquired, and the deed to the park area was\n     presented to the United States government by the State of\n     Virginia.\n     \"The completion of this tremendous task of acquiring and\n     establishing the Shenandoah National Park has made available to\n     the people of the United States, for recreational and\n     educational purposes, an unusually attractive region of\n     mountains, hollows, dashing streams, forests and flowers.\n     \"The mountains rise to a maximum height of slightly more than\n     4,000 feet above sea level, or approximately 3,200 feet above\n     the surrounding country.\"\nStrasburg\nWe can hardly mention a Valley town which has retained its original name\nthroughout the years. What is now known as Strasburg was in the\nbeginning called Staufferstadt, which indicates its German background.\nPeter Stover was the founder from whom the settlement took its name but\nwhen he had the town incorporated in 1761 he changed it to Strasburg in\nhonor of his home city in Germany.\nThere are evidences of the pioneer life of the Valley to be seen near\nhere. A house built about 1755 and occupied by the Hupps was so\nconstructed as to serve efficiently as a fort during the Indian raids;\nthis may still be seen. The home of George Bowman, a son-in-law of Joist\nHite, is also close by Strasburg.\nJoist Hite had four famous grandsons born at this Bowman home. John was\na governor of Kentucky. Abraham was a Colonel in the Revolutionary War\nand Isaac also served in that war. Joseph served under General George\nRogers Clark in the expedition to the Northwest Territory.\nThe story is told that a party of eight Indians with a white man named\nAbraham Mitchell killed George Miller and his wife and two children just\ntwo miles from Strasburg. They also killed John Dellinger and took his\nwife and baby prisoners.\nA group of white men set out to find them and overtook the Indians in\nthe South Branch Mountains. They fired upon the Indians and killed one\nof them, allowing the others to make their escape. Mrs. Dellinger was\nforgotten in their flight so she came home with her neighbors. She told\nthem the Indians had killed her baby by dashing out its brains on a\ntree--a favorite means of execution with them.\nSamuel Kercheval, who so frequently is quoted by us and of whom we have\nwritten elsewhere is buried near Strasburg at \"Harmony Hall.\"\nThe town saw Union and Confederate troops march by during the length of\nthe war and several battles took place not far distant. A few trench\nlines may still be seen around the countryside. \"Banks' Folly\" was\nerected by General Banks when he expected Jackson to invade the\nterritory from the south and later found to his dismay that the\nConfederates had entered the Valley from the opposite direction. Signal\nKnob on top of Massanutten Mountain was used by the latter general as a\nmeans of communication with the main division of the army on the\nRappahannock River.\nOrkney Springs\nOrkney Springs, earlier known as the Yellow Springs, was named for the\nEarl of Orkney and was surveyed by George Washington, according to some\naccounts. The Springs may be reached by travelling west of Mount\nJackson.\n     \"The Orkney Springs are composed of several lively springs and\n     are strongly chalybeate. Everything the water touches or passes\n     through, or over, is beautifully lined with a bright yellow\n     fringe or moss. The use of this water is found beneficial for\n     the cure of several complaints. A free use of this water acts\n     as a most powerful cathartic, as does also a small quantity of\n     the fringe or moss, mixed with common water.\"\nSo stated the historian Howe concerning the Springs. Around the waters\nthere grew up a tiny village which accommodates the visitors to the\nsection. An excellent hotel caters to the guests who seek either quiet\nand rest or zestful games.\nNear Orkney Springs there is a beautiful outdoor shrine where the\nEpiscopal Church holds regular and impressive services during the Summer\nmonths--Shrinemont.\nStephens City\nAn act of the General Assembly in 1758 made Stephens City, or\nStephensburg as it was then known, the second town in the Valley. The\nfirst was Winchester. Lewis Stephens the founder of this town came to\nVirginia with Joist Hite in 1732.\nLater on this was a thriving town manufacturing the Newtown-Stephensburg\nwagon that was the pride of teamsters who travelled all roads leading\nsouth and west. They took merchandise into the wilderness and returned\nwith furs, skins and other products sent back by those settlers who had\npushed on farther into the wilds of Virginia. Many a covered wagon which\nsaw the plains of the Middle West had its birth in Stephensburg.\nWhen the Forty-Niners created companies which sent supplies to the gold\nfields of California they found that few wagons lasted more than six\nmonths. At last they began to order those being made in Stephensburg.\nThese were found to be sturdier in build and could stand the strain of\nthe rough roads and paths longer than other wagons on the market.\nThe stores in the town were good ones, and often covered wagons came in\ndrawn by splendid horses. The drivers of these teams put up overnight at\nthe old taverns and many of the citizens gathered after supper to hear\nthe news of what was going on in Alexandria or in Tennessee. The drivers\nwould be called personal shoppers today, for they brought lists of\narticles to be carried back into the far-off country for the convenience\nof the homesteaders there. The lists probably included sugar, tea and\ncoffee, cloth by the bolt and household articles. You can imagine the\njoy with which the covered wagons would be sighted days later!\nDuring Jackson's Valley Campaign the village was known as Newtown and\nmention is made in this book of fighting in the neighborhood.\nToday the main industry centers around lime which is found in large\nquantities close by.\nMiddletown\nAs an early village this was known as Senseny Town, in honor of the\ndoctor by that name who owned the land. In 1795 it was called\nMiddletown. Long ago it was a manufacturing town and was noted for the\nfine clocks and watches which were splendid time-keepers for the\npunctual and thrifty Valley folk. In fact, the demands for them came\nfrom far and near. The old wooden wheels were first used, then brass was\nintroduced and the watch-makers learned to make the eight-day\nclocks--the last word in time-keepers until the advent of the modern\nelectric clocks. The manufacturers of the watches and clocks soon made\ninstruments for surveyors as well as the much needed compasses.\nThe first successful effort to produce a machine to take the place of\nthe flail and threshing floor for threshing wheat from the straw had its\nstart in this same town. The machines were a marvel in their day and the\nvillagers talked for months at the time when the machine beat out one\nhundred bushels of grain in one day!\nThe Story Teller of the Valley--Samuel Kercheval\nPIONEER LIFE\nSamuel Kercheval as a boy saw many of the pioneer men and women who had\ncut their homes out of the wilderness. He never tired hearing of how\nthey had left Germany, and later had come down from Pennsylvania into\nthe Valley. He himself could remember many of the \"Newcomers\" who were\nthemselves pioneers. He loved the stories of the forts, the Indian raids\nand the customs of the Germans and Scotch-Irish. He later began to write\ndown many of these stories and after he was older he rode up and down\nthe Valley gathering more and more stories and reading wills and old\nrecords. Nothing was of too little value for him to record, even\naccounts of the freaks of nature, like a six-legged calf, snakes and\nother animals.\nWhen Kercheval's friends insisted that he write a book about the Valley,\nhe objected until they told him how much the children of the country\nwould enjoy stories of their grandparents. His own children (there had\nbeen fourteen of them in all), like all children, loved stories. Now he\nbegan to get his notes in shape and about one hundred years after the\nfirst settlers came into the Valley, Samuel Kercheval's _History of the\nValley of Virginia_ was ready for the publishers.\nThis was so popular that all the first edition was soon exhausted. How\npleased he was with the demands for more of them! However, he died\nbefore the second edition came out. He lived at the time of his death in\n1845 at \"Harmony Hall\" near Strasburg. This had at one time been a fort.\nDuring an Indian raid, we are told, sixteen families sought shelter\nwithin its old stone walls. They lived together so peaceably that they\ngave it the name of \"Harmony Hall.\"\nIt is from Kercheval that we get the first pictures of the Valley. He\nwrites that it was long beautiful prairie, with tall rich grasses, five\nand six feet tall, with fringes of sturdy timbers following its swiftly\nrunning streams. He describes the kinds of soils and tells which is rich\nand which is poor. For instance he says where one finds slate he may\nrest assured the soil will not produce very good crops. On the other\nhand, where one finds limestone the soil will produce fine products,\ngrains and fruits.\nMetal was found in some of the hillsides and mountains. An Englishman\nnamed Powell found silver ore on the mountain which bears his name. He\nsmeltered the silver and from it made coins. This was breaking the laws,\nof course, and soon officers were attempting to arrest him. Powell fled\nto his mountain where he had a small fort hidden, and for years eluded\nthem. After many years men found his little shop where he smeltered the\nore and Kercheval himself saw the crude crucible in which the ore was\nrefined and the iron utensils also.\nKercheval tells that many of the farmers found it difficult to plough\ntheir lands and to make crops because of the innumerable small and large\nstones which they found everywhere. At last they decided to get rid of\nthem and built many of the stone walls which one sees up and down the\nmountain sides, along winding roads and enclosing picturesque homes. He\nsays the soil is so rich that seeds do not need to be planted very deep,\nas they will germinate if there is only enough soil to cover them.\nThere were great sugar-maple trees too and he tells of those \"sugar\nhills\" in which there are four or five hundred acres of trees. They even\nlook like sugar loaves from a distance and today on Paddy's Mountain you\nmay still see some of them. You may already have guessed that the name\nPaddy was in honor of the owner Patrick Blake, an Irishman who built in\nthe gap which is named for him.\nKercheval lists carefully all the various healing springs and gives the\nproperties of each. He even gives the names of many persons who were\nbenefitted by drinking from or bathing in them.\nLet us pause here and read about these pioneers, how they built their\nhouses, how they dressed, and something of their superstitions, manners\nand customs.\nThe first settlers built plain sturdy houses made mostly from rough hewn\nlogs. Some of these were covered with split clapboards, having weight\npoles to keep them in place. Many of them had no floors except the earth\nitself. If made of wood, they used rough logs, split in two and roughly\nsmoothed with a broad ax. However, as they improved the lands and their\nfamilies grew, some larger houses were built of stone, which the men and\nboys brought in from the fields.\nThe married men generally shaved their heads and they wore wigs or linen\ncaps. When the Revolutionary War broke out this custom was stopped for\nthey could no longer buy wigs from Europe and none were made in this\ncountry. There was little linen, so they could not get enough for other\nneeds and they could do without caps.\nThe men's coats were mostly made with broad backs and straight short\nskirts. These had huge pockets with flaps. The waistcoats had skirts\nnearly down to the knees and pockets also. Their breeches were so short\nthey hardly reached to their knees, and they were fastened with a tight\nband. Their stockings were drawn up under the knee-hand and tied with a\nred or blue garter below the knee so it could be seen. Their shoes were\nmade of coarse leather, with straps and they were fastened with buckles\nof brass for every day--maybe with silver for Sundays and holidays. The\nmen's hats were either of wool or fur with a round crown three or four\ninches in height and with a very broad brim. The shirt collar was only a\nnarrow band and over it was worn a white linen stock drawn together at\nthe ends and fastened with a broad metal buckle.\nThe women wore a short gown and petticoat of plain materials and a\ncalico cap. Their hair was combed back from the forehead and made into a\nplain knot at the nape of the neck.\nThe women and girls worked in the fields and wore no shoes except in the\nwinter. They worked from dawn 'til dark, for they milked, churned, made\ncheese, washed and ironed for the family, cooked, spun and wove, knitted\nstockings and quilted in their leisure moments. Kercheval tells us how\nthey made apple butter and sourkrout. Of the latter he wrote:\n     \"Sourkrout is made of the best of cabbage. A box about three\n     feet in length and six or seven inches wide, with a sharp blade\n     fixed across the bottom, something on the principle of the\n     jack plane, is used for cutting the cabbage. The head being\n     separated from the stalk and stripped of its outer leaves is\n     placed in this box and run back and forth. The cabbage thus cut\n     up is placed in a barrel, a little salt is sprinkled on from\n     time to time, then pressed down very closely and covered at the\n     open head. In the course of three or four weeks it acquires a\n     sourish taste and to persons accustomed to the use of it is a\n     very agreeable food. It is said the use of it within the last\n     few years on boards of ship has proved it to be the best\n     preventive known for scurvy. The use of it is becoming pretty\n     general among all classes in the Valley.\"\nKercheval even tells us what the pioneers did for medicine. When he was\na boy he saw a man brought into the fort on horseback, who had been\nbitten by a rattlesnake. One of the men dragged the snake, fastened to a\nforked stick, behind the victim. The body of the snake was cut into\nsmall pieces, split and laid on the wounded flesh. This, they claimed,\nwould draw out the poison of the bite. When this was done, the snake was\nburned to ashes. During this process, others gathered chestnut leaves\nand boiled them in a pot. Wide pieces of chestnut bark were applied to\nthe man's wound and the chestnut-leaf mixture poured over some of the\nboiled leaves which had been made into a poultice. This was kept up\nduring the first day and if not improved, the treatment was continued\nthe next.\nOthers suggested using boiled plantain, cooked in milk, which was given\nto the patient. Walnut fern was another remedy for snakebite. The braver\npatient submitted to cupping, sucking the wound or having someone cut\nout the flesh around the bite.\nGunshot wounds were treated with slippery-elm bark, flax seed poultices\nor by scraping the wound itself and cauterizing it.\nThe people suffering from rheumatism were rubbed with oil made from\nrattlesnakes, bears, geese, wolves or any wild animal. This was put on a\nflannel rag and bound to the parts affected.\nThere were all kinds of syrups made from herbs such as spike nard and\nelecampane for coughs and tuberculosis. The Germans used songs or\nincantations for the cure of burns, nose-bleed and toothache. For one\nafflicted with erysipelas the blood of a black cat was given. Hence\nthere were few cats which had not lost parts of their ears or tails.\nThe sports of the boys in those early days were mostly those which\ndeveloped their physical bodies. The boys were given a gun almost as\nsoon as they were strong enough to carry one. They learned to make their\nown bows and to sharpen their own arrows and many of them could shoot as\nstraight as the Indians who still roamed the hills.\nThrowing the tomahawk was another favorite sport. This axe-like weapon\nwith its handle will make so many turns in a given distance. With a\nlittle practice a boy soon learned to throw his tomahawk and strike a\ntree as he walked through the forest.\nWhen a boy was twelve, he had his own small rifle and pouch and was made\na member of the fort. He was given a certain port hole through which he\ntook careful aim. He was often allowed to go with older men on hunting\ntrips if he had proved himself worthy to be \"among men.\"\nDancing as we know it was unknown, but few ever enjoyed anything more\nthan those boys and girls did dancing their jigs and reels. Their music\nwas simple and singing was something both old and young enjoyed to the\nfullest. Story-telling was an art then, and year by year, old, old tales\ngrew longer and longer and Jack the hero, always conquered all the\ngiants.\nThere was witchcraft in the Valley too, and when a crow or calf died or\nwas sick, the owner often thought a witch had shot it with a hair ball\nor with some kind of curse. When a man lost his cunning in his once good\naim, he was sure some one had put a \"spell\" on him. Some actually\nbelieved men were changed into horses and after being bridled, they were\nridden all over the countryside. Many men thought this was why their\nbones ached and they felt too tired to work their farms.\nThe men who did strange things were spoken of as wizards. Some called\nthem witch-masters, and these claimed they could stop the mischievous\nwork of the witches and cure baffling diseases.\nWhen a child was born with a frail body, or developed rickets, it was\noften thought to be caused by the spells of someone unfriendly to the\nfamily.\nIf one would get rid of the witch in his neighborhood a picture of the\nsupposed witch was drawn on a board or on a stump and shot at with a\nbullet which contained a bit of silver. This bullet, if it struck the\npicture, was thought to put a spell on the witch.\nWe may smile at the thought of those superstitions, but few of us, if we\nare honest, will not admit that we have one pet superstition just as\nfoolish as those referred to above.\nKercheval tells us how difficult it often was for the farmer to retain\nall of his crops. There were so many animals, like the squirrels and\nraccoons, which liked their grains. Storms would come and huge trees\nwould fall on their fences, letting their horses and cattle get into the\nfields.\nHe makes us realize how difficult it was to procure the necessities of\nlife. Where, for instance did they get the mills with which to grind\ntheir grains, where the instruments with which to make their farming\nimplements and their household cooking utensils? Who were their weavers,\ntheir shoemakers, tailors, tanners and wagon makers? Of course there\nwere none, for each farmer and his family had to rely on what they could\ndo with their own hands or what they could trade to some neighbor in\nreturn for something done for him.\nThe first mills or hominy blocks were made of wood. A block of wood\nabout three feet long was burned at one end, wide at the mouth and\nnarrow at the bottom, so that when the pestle hit the corn it was thrown\nup and as it fell down to the bottom it was mashed. Gradually, each\ngrain of corn was ground to a like size. When the corn was soft, as it\nwas in the Fall, this grinding made a fine meal for mush or \"journey\ncake\" as they called this form of bread. However, this was slow work\nlater on when corn got hard.\nThe farmer also used a different kind of mill. He used a sweep made of\nspringy wood, thirty feet or more long. This pole was supported by two\nforks, placed about a third of its length from its butt end where it was\nsecurely fastened to some firm object. To this was attached a large\nmortise, a piece of sapling five or six inches in diameter and eight or\nmore long. The lower end was shaped like a pestle and a pin of wood was\nput through it at a proper height so two people could work the sweep at\nonce.\nKercheval says he remembers the one which he helped work in his own\nhome. It was made of a sugar-tree sapling and was kept almost in\nconstant use either by his own family or by the neighbors who came to\nuse it. He says these sweeps were used to make gunpowder from the\nsaltpetre caves which the settlers soon found.\nThe women often used a grater for the corn when it was very soft. This\nwas made of a piece of tin, a few holes punched in on one side and then\nnailed to a block of wood and the corn scraped against it. This produced\na form of corn-meal but was a very tedious method. Another kind was a\nmill made of two circular stones. The one on the bottom was called the\nbed stone and the upper one the runner. These were placed in a hoop with\na spout for discharging the meal. A staff was let into the hole in the\nupper surface of the runner near the outer edge and its upper end\nthrough a hole in a board fastened to a joist above. The grain was put\ninto the runner by hand. This type of mill, is one of the earliest ever\nknown by man.\nThen every man tanned his own leather. The tan-vat was a huge tub which\nwas sunk into the ground. A quantity of bark was quickly gotten each\nspring when the farmer cleared his land. This was first dried then\nbrought in and on rainy days, the bark was stripped, shaved and pounded\non a block of wood with an ax or mallet. Ashes were used in place of\nlime for taking off the hair from the skins of animals. They did not\nhave fish-oil, so the settlers substituted bear's grease, or lard made\nfrom boiling the fat of these animals. This oil was used to make the\nleather soft and pliable. The leather was often very coarse, but it was\ntough and wore well. They made their blacking or polish for their shoes\nby mixing soot with lard. Not every man could make shoes, but everyone\ncould make shoepacks, an article similar to the moccasin.\nKercheval's father was a master weaver as well as a fine shoe maker. He\nmade all the shoes worn by his family and would not let anyone else make\nhis thread, as he thought no woman could spin it as well as he could. He\nmade all the woodenware called set work. He hand-carved some of them,\nmaking grooves in which he fitted hoops to hold the staves in place.\nDuring the days when every man had to serve in some military service,\nthe elder Kercheval was not strong enough to fight. The men brought all\ntheir firearms to him and he repaired them. He could straighten a\ncrooked gun barrel with ease and file off any broken edges.\nKercheval's father had been to school for only six weeks, yet he read,\nworked hard problems in mathematics and wrote letters, not only for\nhimself, but for many of his friends. He drew up bonds, deeds of\nconveyance and wrote other articles for them. He taught his boy to use\nhis hands, for Samuel tells that as a boy, he wove garters, belts and\nshot pouches. He, too, could make looms. He traded well, for he says he\nwould swap a belt for a man's labor for a day, or give one to a man for\nmaking a hundred fence rails.\nAn amusing custom developed among the German settlers regarding their\nweddings. Young men and women, termed \"waiters,\" were selected to help\nofficiate at a wedding. The groomsmen were proud to wear highly\nembroidered white aprons on such an occasion, for it was symbolic of\nprotection to the bride. Each waiter tried to keep the bride from having\nher slippers stolen from her feet during the festivities. If she did\nsustain the loss the young man had to pay for it with a bottle of wine,\nsince the bride's dancing depended upon its recovery.\nCharacterized by their strong religious beliefs it was only natural for\nthe Scotch-Irish Presbyterians to build their churches as they built\ntheir little homes. Opequon Church south of Winchester is thought by\nmany to be the oldest church in the Valley. Not so with the Germans.\nThey did not attempt to build separate houses of worship for a\ngeneration or more after coming to the new section but they did hold\nregular services in the homes of the settlers and waited until a better\ntime to erect churches.\nThere was an interesting custom among the Scotch-Irish at their\nweddings, too. It was called \"running for the bottle.\" Usually the bride\nand groom went to the parson's home for the marriage ceremony, attended\nby their friends on horseback. At the conclusion of the ritual the young\nmen took to their horses and dashed for the bride's father's house. The\nman on the fleetest horse was given a bottle of wine from which the\nreturning bride and groom first drank and then it was passed on to\nothers. In most instances the mad rush to the home was made in spite of\nnumerous trees and small brush which were cut down to serve as obstacles\nin their paths.\nAt Winchester these two distinct nationalities got along fairly well\ntogether. An example of their friendly relations is to be seen in their\n\"War of the Guelphs and Ghibellines.\" The Dutch on St. Patrick's Day\nwould parade through the village streets with effigies of St. Patrick\nwearing a necklace of Irish potatoes and his wife carrying an apron full\nof them.\nAnd then on the day of St. Michael, the patron of the Dutch, the Irish\nretaliated by holding aloft an effigy of the saint decorated with a\nnecklace of sourkrout.\nAs was to be expected these frolics occasionally went to the extreme and\nended before the judge in the log cabin courthouse.\nIt was hard for those early settlers to get such articles as salt, iron,\nsteel and casting. There were no stores where they could purchase sugar,\ntea and hundreds of other necessities of today. Pelts, furs or skins\nwere their only money before they had time to raise horses and cattle.\nIn the Fall of the year, after all crops were harvested, every settler's\nfamily formed an association with some of their neighbors for starting a\ncaravan.\nThis consisted of two packhorses. A bell and collar was put on each\nhorse, as were a pair of hobbles made from hickory withes. Bags were\npacked on the back of the saddles in which to bring back two bushels of\nalum salt, each bushel weighing eighty-four pounds. Each horse carried\ntwo bags on the return journey. This was not such a heavy load for a\nhorse but one must remember the animal also had to carry its own food.\nSomewhere along the narrow trail, some of this grain was hidden until\nthe return journey. Large pouches or bags were also carried in which\nwere loaves of home-baked bread or \"Journey Cake,\" a mixture of Indian\nmeal and water baked on an iron skillet and boiled ham and cheese.\nThe men traded first in Baltimore, Hagerstown and Cumberland. They also\ntook along a cow and a calf, which was what they paid for one bushel of\nthe much needed salt. While the salt was being weighed, no one was\nallowed to walk on the floor.\nWoodstock\nFirst called Muellerstadt after its founder Jacob Miller, Woodstock was\ngranted its charter in 1761 by the General Assembly of Virginia. Miller\nwas farsighted in his plans for the community and provided adequate\nbuilding sites for homes and businesses.\nThe historian Kercheval tells an interesting account of the appearance\nof Indians around Woodstock:\n     \"In 1766, the Indians made a visit to the neighborhood of\n     Woodstock. Two men by the name of Sheetz and Taylor had taken\n     their wives and children into a wagon, and were on their way to\n     the fort. At the narrow passage, three miles south of\n     Woodstock, five Indians attacked them. The two men were killed\n     at the first onset, and the Indians rushed to seize the women\n     and children. The women, instead of swooning at the sight of\n     their bleeding, expiring husbands, seized their axes, and with\n     Amazonian firmness, and strength almost superhuman, defended\n     themselves and children. One of the Indians had succeeded in\n     getting hold of one of Mrs. Sheetz's children, and attempting\n     to drag it out of the wagon; but with the quickness of\n     lightning she caught her child in one hand, and with the other\n     made a blow at the head of the fellow which caused him to quit\n     his hold to save his life. Several of the Indians received\n     pretty sore wounds in this desperate conflict, and all at last\n     ran off, leaving the two women with their children to pursue\n     their way to the fort.\"\nWhen Lord Dunmore came to govern the colony of Virginia in 1772 the\ncitizens passed a resolution endorsing his administration. They\nrequested that a new county be formed from Frederick which would be\ncalled Dunmore County. Five years later, when he began to have trouble\nwith the colonists the people of Woodstock instructed their burgess to\nget the name of their county changed to Shenandoah. This name is\nretained to the present time.\nAbout six miles from Woodstock a Mr. Wolfe erected a fort on Stony Creek\nyears and years ago. He had a fine hunting dog and at the time of our\nstory Indians were lurking in the neighborhood. This was during the\nperiod when the savages were endeavoring to rid the Valley of the white\nmen.\nMr. Wolfe went out hunting one morning and had not gone far before his\ndog began to run around and around him, blocking his path. Then he\njumped up in front of his master, put his feet on his shoulders and\nseemed to try to stop Wolfe's progress. When the dog found he could not\nstop his master he ran back towards the fort, then back to his master,\nall the time whining a warning.\nThe hunter suspected some danger, so he kept his hand on his gun and\nwatched out for Indians. He soon saw two of them behind a tree.\nEvidently they were waiting for their man to come close enough for them\nto get a good shot at him. Mr. Wolfe began to walk backward, making a\nrapid retreat to the fort. Long afterwards someone asked Mr. Wolfe why\nhe did not kill the old dog since his years of usefulness were over and\nhe was apparently uncomfortable. He told the inquirer the story of how\nthe animal had saved his life and added, \"I would sooner be killed\nmyself than suffer that dog to be killed.\"\n\"There is a time to every purpose under the heaven--a time of war and a\ntime of peace.\" So spoke one of Woodstock's most famous sons, the\nReverend John Peter Gabriel Muhlenberg, in the Lutheran Church one\nSunday morning after the Declaration of Independence had been issued.\nAfter delivering an inspired sermon taken from this text in which he\nreviewed his stand on liberty, he dramatically cast off his black pulpit\nrobes and revealed to his astonished congregation his colonel's uniform\nof the Revolutionary army. He was about thirty years old then and had\nserved the Woodstock flock for four years.\nDr. Wayland in his book _The German Element in the Shenandoah Valley of\nVirginia_, suggests that the Rev. Mr. Muhlenberg was associated with the\nEpiscopal as well as the Lutheran church and that \"he seems beyond\nquestion to have received Episcopal ordination.... His connection with\nthe Church of England was probably sought in order that his work as a\nclergyman might receive the readier and fuller sanction.\"\nAlmost immediately after preaching his patriotic sermon he raised a\nregiment among the Valley folk. Known as the Eighth Virginia, or German\nRegiment, they saw hard service at Germantown, Brandywine and Monmouth\nas well as in some of the southern battlefields.\nBefore the close of the war Muhlenberg was made a brigadier-general and\nafter his retirement he lived in Pennsylvania, his original home before\ncoming to the Valley of Virginia.\nA movement is under way at the present time to restore the little church\nof the Lutheran faith where the colonel made his firey sermon. Let us\nhope this may be accomplished so that we may catch the inspiration of\nhis remarks.\nWoodstock saw the march of many feet during the War Between the States;\nalmost constantly were the troops passing by, causing fields to be laid\nwaste, crops to be confiscated and stock to be carried off. But the\nlittle town conceals her war scars well and today is a progressive\ncommunity.\nMassanutten Academy is located here and draws boys from all over\nVirginia and a number of other States.\nTHE LINCOLN FAMILY\nContrary to popular belief, President Lincoln's forebears were not poor\nand shiftless, but were influential and prosperous Virginians who lived\nin the handsome old brick Colonial home which, in a fine state of\npreservation, is still standing, with the Lincoln family cemetery and\nslave burying-ground nearby.\nThe Lincoln homestead is near the little village of Edom, not far from\nthe Caverns of Melrose, and can be reached by turning west from U. S.\nHighway 11 at these caverns, six miles north of Harrisonburg. Visitors\nare welcome at this homestead. Exact directions as to how to reach it\ncan be obtained in the Melrose Cavern's Lodge.\nThomas Lincoln, father of President Lincoln, was born in this house.\nJohn Lincoln, great-grandfather of the President, moved with his family\ninto Virginia in 1768 where, as an influential pioneer, he built the\nfirst brick unit of the beautiful Colonial home.\nJohn Lincoln was known as \"Virginia John.\" Abraham Lincoln, his eldest\nson and grandfather of the President, lived in this homestead and was\ncaptain of a Virginia company during the Revolution.\nCaptain Abraham Lincoln, with his son Thomas (father of the President)\nmoved to Kentucky in 1782, leaving Jacob Lincoln, a brother of Captain\nLincoln, in the Virginia homestead. Many Lincolns, descendants of Jacob\nand other sons and daughters of \"Virginia John,\" now live near Melrose\nCaverns, in Harrisonburg and elsewhere in Rockingham county.\nOn February 24th, 1829, when Melrose Caverns were known as \"Harrison's\nCave,\" Franklin Lincoln, grandson of Jacob and a cousin of President\nLincoln, entered the caverns and, by the light of torches or candles,\ncarved his name and the date. He later fought in the Civil War as a\nConfederate soldier.\nAlso in these caverns is carved the name of John Lincoln, possibly John\nLincoln, Jr., who was one of Jacob's four brothers, or perhaps \"Virginia\nJohn\" the pioneer, great-grandfather of the President. There is no date\ncarved by the name of John Lincoln.\nIn April, 1862, during the Civil War, a Federal soldier drew a rough\nportrait of President Lincoln with charcoal upon a wall farther back in\nthe caverns. These Lincoln signatures and this crude portrait can be\ndistinctly seen in Melrose Caverns by visitors today.\nNew Market\nA little later in becoming settled than other Valley towns was New\nMarket, the progressive little place situated at the intersection of the\nValley Pike and Route 211 to Luray. Its charter was granted in 1785 as\nthe result of efforts made by Peter Palsel, an early settler.\nThomas Jefferson's father, Peter Jefferson, was among the party of\nsurveyors who ran the land grant boundary for the Proprietor of the\nNorthern Neck, Lord Fairfax. This was done in 1746. The old line is a\nshort distance south of New Market.\nThe town was the scene in 1864 of the battle in which the young and\ninexperienced but dauntless cadets from the Virginia Military Institute\nat Lexington took such prominent part. The wounded from their ranks were\ncared for by devoted women in nearby houses. And what a percentage there\nwas either wounded or killed! Forty-six of the former and eight of the\nlatter out of a corps of only two hundred and twenty-one!\nNew Market is the center today of the caverns in the Valley, for\nShenandoah Caverns are to the north and Endless to the south, while\nwithin a short drive you may reach Luray, Massanutten, Melrose and Grand\nCaverns. Accommodations for the tourists are numerous and fair\nthroughout the vicinity.\nSeveral years ago a re-enactment of the Battle of New Market occurred in\nwhich the corps from the Virginia Military Institute pitted their\nstrength against the United States Marines. Among the spectators to this\nstirring War Between the States encounter was the Secretary of the Navy.\nHe was impressed with the majesty of the Shenandoah Valley and the\nlegend of the name. Later he determined to name the new navy dirigible\nShenandoah--\"The Daughter of the Stars.\" For her christening a bottle of\nwater from the meandering Shenandoah River was used. And on her maiden\nflight from her berth at Lakehurst the graceful ship flew over the\nlovely, peaceful Valley from whence came her name.\nENDLESS CAVERNS\nOn the first of October, 1879 two boys went hunting. Their dog chased a\nrabbit up the long slope of Mr. Reuben Zirkle's pasture. The rabbit ran\nfor his life and disappeared over a huge rock.\n[Illustration: \"THE CYPRESS GARDENS\", A SCENE IN ENDLESS CAVERNS]\nThe boys gave chase and boy-like, when they reached the rock and found\nno rabbit, they pushed aside the heavy stone. Imagine how their eyes\nbulged when they looked down into a great hole in the hill. Here was a\nfind! Here was adventure, for who can resist exploring a cave? The boys\nthought no longer of the rabbit. They went in search of candles and a\nrope. Soon they were seeing for the first time the lovely and strange\nkingdom underground.\nThe boys, no doubt like visitors, wondered how Nature had carved these\nmiracles. Today science has answered the question for us and for the\nsake of those inquiring minds we will give in part the story of how\nMother Nature builds her caves.\n\"Thousands and thousands of years of surface waters, seeping down\nthrough the earth, have dissolved and carried away the limestone rock\nthrough various tiny cracks and crevices. As each drop worked its way\ndownward it carried coloring matter--iron, maybe copper, which tints the\nbeautiful columns. Tiny bits of limestone formed and gradually built\nthem up from the bottom; these are called stalagmites. Others slowly\nforming from the tops of the cave hung there and are termed stalactites.\nThen through the years these grew until they met and formed the arches\nand columns.\"\nThough explorations were carried on for several years no end to the\nrooms was seen. One channel after another was found, and one room after\nanother came into view, hence the name Endless Caverns.\nPeople from far and near came to see the wonders, and dances were held\nin Alexander's Ballroom. The musicians had a high rock on which they\nplayed their fiddles. Huge iron circles were fastened to the ceiling and\ncandles placed in them for lights. One night one of the bold boys took a\ncandle and pushed farther into the cave. By the weird light he saw a\nglistening lake, sparkling like diamonds. Upon investigation it turned\nout to be a pool of clearest water and it reflected the white glittering\ncrystal roof which sheltered it. The name \"Diamond Lake\" was given it\nand it has been admired by thousands of visitors.\nThen for thirty years the beautiful caverns were closed to the public. A\nparty of visitors came to the Valley. Colonel Edward Brown who stopped\nin New Market was fascinated with the stories of the old caverns. He\nbought the property and the next year the caverns were opened--in 1920.\nToday his son, Major E. M. Brown, is the progressive owner.\n\"The old entrance house has been replaced by a unique cave house built\nof limestone boulders from the mountain side. Great gates of\nhand-wrought iron bar the head of the stone steps which lead downward. A\nlone lantern hangs from the arch of the stone roof and accurately\nplaced, at the exact center of the top of the entrance, is a huge\nboulder in the shape of a keystone, set there by the Architect of all\nthe earth many thousands of years ago.\"\nNo one can describe the beautiful shapes and designs to be found in the\ncaverns. They must be seen to be appreciated fully and no matter how\nmany caves one has seen, he will not regret the magic time spent here.\nLuray\nThe question is often asked as to the origin of the unusual name of the\ntown of Luray. Legend disagrees as to its derivation. There are some who\nclaim it came from the name of an early settler, Lewis Ramey. He was\nfamiliarly known as Lew Ramey and the contraction Lew Ray might have\nfollowed naturally. The site of Ramey's little log cabin is at the\ncorner of Main and Court streets.\nSome citizens of the town insist that the Huguenots who escaped from\nFrance and finally migrated to the Valley named the new settlement\nLorraine after their province in France and that Luray is a corruption\nof the former name.\nThere are reminders near this town of former years of struggle. During\nthe French and Indian War the settlers decided upon building \"cellar\nforts\" for protection against Indian raids. These cellars dug under the\nlog homes were large enough for living quarters and were generally\nsupplied with a spring of water. They were so constructed with rocks\nserving as a ceiling that even in case of fire in the house proper, the\noccupants of the cellar would be unhurt. Several of these ingenious\nlittle fortifications remain in Page County, Rhodes Fort and the Egypt\nHouse being good examples of them.\nIn the Hawksbill neighborhood, not far from Luray, there lived a long\ntime ago John Stone and his family. In 1758 the Indians came to his home\nwhile he was away. They had little difficulty in carrying off Mrs.\nStone and her baby, a son about eight years old and another boy, George\nGrandstaff, who was sixteen.\nThe marauders sacked other residences in the neighborhood and killed a\nnumber of persons. It is possible that when they set out for their own\nsettlements some distance off they found Mrs. Stone's progress impeded\nbecause of carrying the baby. At any rate, they murdered those two and\ncontinued on their way with the boys.\nThree years later Grandstaff escaped as their prisoner and returned to\nMr. Stone. Young Stone remained with the savages for a number of years\nand when he did come home he sold his father's property and with the\nmoney in his pockets he went back to the Indian village. No one ever\nheard of him afterwards.\nLuray was laid out in 1812 by William Staige Marye, son of Peter Marye,\nwho built the first turnpike--a toll-road--to cross the Blue Ridge from\nCulpeper into the Shenandoah Valley. Near Luray is the Saltpetre Cave.\nDuring the War Between the States the Confederates established a nitrate\nplant there and used the products in their manufacture of ammunition.\nOne of the most beautiful drives in Virginia is that leaving Luray,\ncrossing the mountain and entering the Valley Pike at New Market.\nOf particular importance to this section are the Luray Caverns. An\nentertaining history is attached to them. As far back as 1793 there was\nknowledge of the existence of the caves, for Joseph Ruffner's son had\nexplored several passages just about this time. Ruffner's property took\non the name of Cave Hill.\nThe Ruffners were among the largest landowners in the Valley, their\nproperty extending twelve miles on both sides of Hawksbill Creek. They\nreceived a part of the land through inheritance and bought other tracts.\nDr. Henry Ruffner, a member of this distinguished family, was at one\ntime President of Washington College, now Washington and Lee University\nat Lexington.\nFighting during the War Between the States occurred near the town of\nLuray and about two miles south on the Lee Highway there is an old oak\ntree which marks the place where Sheridan's famous Valley ride was\nhalted for a time.\nThere are interesting landmarks remaining in the town today which have\nwitnessed the pageant of history, among the most pretentious being\n\"Aventine.\" This home originally occupied the present site of the\nMymslyn Hotel.\nStonewall Jackson's Valley Campaign\nToo much space must not be consumed in this book in presenting the facts\nregarding Jackson's Valley Campaign. We feel justified in devoting more\nthan a comment to this notable feat of war, however, for some of the\nheaviest fighting of the four years' conflict took place on the land you\nmay see in driving over the Valley Pike and along the Skyline Drive.\nAt the outbreak of hostilities in the War Between the States Thomas\nJackson left the chair of higher mathematics at the Virginia Military\nInstitute and volunteered his services in the Virginia army. Educated at\nWest Point and trained during the Mexican War he was a welcome addition\nto the Confederate forces, although no one anticipated the conspicuous\nr\u00f4le he would play in the subsequent events. At the early battle of\nFirst Manassas he earned the name of \"Stonewall\" because of his quiet,\ndignified and unafraid manner in the face of danger.\nLt. Col. C. F. R. Henderson's invaluable two volumes, _Stonewall Jackson\nand the American Civil War_, were consulted and are the source quoted\nhereafter in giving the account of the Valley warfare. The First Brigade\nof the Virginia army was recruited from the Valley and participated\nunder Jackson in the first battle of Manassas and for a long period of\ntime thereafter.\n     \"No better material for soldiers ever existed,\" said Henderson,\n     \"than the men of the Valley. Most of them were of Scotch-Irish\n     descent, but from the more northern counties came many of\n     English blood, and from those in the center of Swiss and\n     German. But whatever their origin, they were thoroughly well\n     qualified for their new trade. All classes mingled in the\n     ranks, and all ages; the heirs of the oldest families, and the\n     humblest of the sons of toil; boys whom it was impossible to\n     keep in school, and men whose white beards hung below their\n     cross belts; youths who had been reared in luxury, and rough\n     hunters from their lonely cabins. They were a mountain people,\n     nurtured in a wholesome climate bred to manly sports, and\n     hardened by the free life of the field and forest. To social\n     distinctions they gave little heed. They were united for a\n     common purpose; they had taken arms to defend Virginia and to\n     maintain her rights; and their patriotism was proved by the\n     sacrifice of all personal consideration and individual\n     interest.\"\nAfter the first battle of Manassas the First Brigade was known as the\n\"Stonewall Brigade.\"\nFrom July to November, 1861, Jackson spent the greater part of every day\ndrilling the men under him and in trying to convert them into\nwell-disciplined, obedient troops. During the first week in November he\nwas sent from Manassas to command the Shenandoah Valley district and\nthis meant parting from the soldiers whom he had reason to admire and\nwho in turn held him in highest esteem. A short time later they were\ndestined to reunite under circumstances which would try the courage of\nthe brigade and commander. To the delight of all, the Stonewall Brigade\nwas assigned to Winchester soon after Jackson established his\nheadquarters there and for the next few months rigid training was given\nthem again.\nAbout the middle of March 1862, Jackson abandoned Winchester. This was\nafter some of the Union concentration near Manassas and Centreville was\nbroken up and General Banks made no move to offer battle, so the\nConfederates withdrew without a fight and occupied Strasburg eighteen or\ntwenty miles southward. The evacuation of Winchester was made\nreluctantly, for good roads in each direction connected the city with\noutlying districts, fertile farms nearby could furnish the invading army\nwith rations and Banks could receive from or send troops to West\nVirginia or the army south of Washington. Feeling that Jackson's small\nforce was not of any special danger, Shields' corps was sent in pursuit\nof the Confederates and most of Banks' troops were ordered to another\nfield. Jackson continued up the Valley and stopped at Mount Jackson,\nhoping the Federals would follow.\nThe Confederate general learned from Ashby, his cavalry commander, that\nthe enemy was retreating. It was Lee's intention that the Union corps in\nthe Valley be retained there so that assistance could not be offered\nMcClellan, the Northern general who was maneuvering in the eastern part\nof Virginia with the ultimate aim of striking Richmond. McClellan hoped\nto attack the capital of the Confederacy by combining his army with\nthat of McDowell, whom he could call to the area of war when necessary.\nSo it was to be Jackson's duty to keep them in the Valley and perhaps to\nwithdraw some of the Northern troops from near Richmond.\nOn March 22nd Ashby with his troopers and a few guns engaged Shields in\na skirmish just south of Winchester. He believed there was only a small\nforce of Federals present, so well had Shields hidden his men, and he\nreported to Jackson that the troops were small in number. The next day\nJackson sent reinforcements to Ashby and then followed later with his\nwhole force in the direction of Kernstown which is south of Winchester\nand but a short distance off. There the battle of Kernstown began and\ncontinued until dark. Jackson's troops were defeated and retreated\nsouthward. As a result of this encounter Shields was reinforced and the\nstrong Union force remained in the Valley.\nThe Federal generals were apparently satisfied with the victory and in\nspite of urgings from the Secretary of War, Stanton, to pursue Jackson\nthey remained inactive for nearly a month.\nBanks assumed the offensive on April 17th, and surprised Ashby, taking\none of his companies prisoner. The Virginians burned the railroad\nstation at Mount Jackson and fell back while the Union cavalry\nestablished themselves at New Market.\nThe Confederate General Ewell had a force of 8,000 men on the Upper\nRappahannock which is some distance east of the mountains. This corps\nwas left at its location in order to rush to the defense of\nFredericksburg or Richmond or across the mountains to the Valley.\nJackson knew that he must not allow Banks to control the mountain pass,\nthus severing communication between the two Confederate forces. He\ndetermined upon a forced march for his men and on the eighteenth they\nreached Harrisonburg. He continued over to Swift Run Gap and encamped\nnear there.\nBanks followed his cavalry to New Market, crossed over to Luray and\nseized the bridges, driving back a detachment of Jackson's men sent\nthere to defend them. Later he sent two of his five brigades to\nHarrisonburg and the rest stayed at New Market.\nJackson's next move was to McDowell, a town about twenty-seven miles\nnorthwest of Harrisonburg. The march was made in the most circuitous\nmanner: from Swift Run Gap to Port Republic, to Brown's Gap which is\nabout twelve miles southeast of their camp at Elk Run Valley, to\nStaunton and then west to McDowell. This strategy was used so that he\nmight deceive Banks, Fremont and Milroy, the Federal commanders in and\nnear the Valley, into thinking for a while that he was leaving the\nValley to join forces at Richmond. Jackson proposed to strike each Union\nforce located in this section of Virginia but he believed an encounter\nwith Milroy commanding the weakest corps should be made before attacking\nBanks. The Battle of McDowell occurred on May 8th, and was a victory for\nJackson. He followed the enemy in their retreat as far as Franklin. A\nsquadron of Ashby's cavalry spent much time in blocking any of the\npasses which Fremont might use in crossing the mountains to reinforce\nBanks. Bridges were burned and rocks and trees were placed across the\nroadways. Jackson's object was thus thoroughly achieved:\n     \"All combination between the Federal columns, except by long\n     and devious routes, had now been rendered impracticable; and\n     there was little fear that in any operations down the Valley\n     his own communications would be endangered. The McDowell\n     expedition had neutralized, for the time being, Fremont's\n     20,000 men; and Banks was now isolated, exposed to the combined\n     attack of Jackson, Ewell and Edward Johnson.\"\nEwell in the meantime had left his post near Gordonsville and had moved\ninto Swift Run Gap in order to go to Jackson if necessary. After the\nBattle of McDowell, Jackson returned to the Valley. Lee ordered him to\nmake a movement against Banks as speedily as possible, to drive him\ntowards Washington and appear ready to attack the Union capital. Thus he\nhoped to see some of the Northerners leave the vicinity of Richmond and\nreturn to defend their capital.\nJackson entered the Valley at Mount Solon and pushed northward at once.\nBanks erected earthworks at Strasburg and considered himself well\nentrenched against the enemy. Ewell, with his Confederates, left Swift\nRun Gap and moved to Luray. Jackson moved north to New Market. The\nConfederates now organized into two divisions, Jackson's and Ewell's,\nnumbering about 17,000 men. The troops under Jackson instead of\ncontinuing northward in their march turned east and crossed the\nMassanutten Mountain and headed north. On May 22nd the advanced guard\ncamped within ten miles of Front Royal. This town was \"held by a strong\ndetachment of Banks' small army.\"\n     \"Since they had left Mount Solon and Elk Run Valley on May 19th\n     the troops in four days had made just sixty miles. Such\n     celerity of movement was unfamiliar to both Banks and Stanton,\n     and on the night of the 22nd neither the Secretary nor the\n     General had the faintest suspicion that the enemy had as yet\n     passed Harrisonburg.... There was serenity at Washington....\n     The Secretary, ... saw no reason for alarm. His strategical\n     combinations were apparently working without a hitch....\n     Milroy's defeat was considered no more than an incident of 'la\n     petite guerre'. Washington seemed so perfectly secure that the\n     recruiting offices had been closed, and the President and\n     Secretary, anticipating the immediate fall of Richmond, left\n     for Fredericksburg the next day. McDowell was to march on the\n     26th, and the departure of his fine army was to be preceded by\n     a grand review....\n     \"So on this night of May 22nd the President and his people were\n     without fear of what the morrow might bring forth. The end of\n     the rebellion seemed near at hand. Washington was full of the\n     anticipated triumph. The crowds passed to and fro exchanging\n     congratulations on the success of the Northern arms and the\n     approaching downfall of the slaveholders.... Little dreamt the\n     light-hearted multitude that, in the silent woods of the Luray\n     Valley, a Confederate army lay asleep beneath the stars. Little\n     dreamt Lincoln, or Banks, or Stanton, that not more than\n     seventy miles from Washington, and less than thirty from\n     Strasburg, the most daring of the enemies, waiting for the dawn\n     to rise above the mountains was pouring out his soul in\n     prayer.\"\nBanks' 10,000 men were distributed in this manner: at Strasburg the\nlargest contingent, at Winchester a small group of infantry and cavalry,\nwith two companies of infantry at Newtown, midway between Strasburg and\nFront Royal. At Rectortown, nineteen miles east of Front Royal was\nGeneral Geary with 2,000 infantry and cavalry independent of Banks.\nFront Royal was held by Colonel Kenly of the First Maryland Regiment, U.\nS. A. On the morning of May 23rd the Confederates struck Kenly's small\nforce. Every line of communication and reinforcement had been severed\nduring the previous night and \"within an hour after his pickets were\nsurprised Kenly was completely isolated.\"\nBanks moved north from Strasburg towards Winchester before Jackson could\nscatter his troops along the route and cut off his retreat. Encounters\ntook place at Newtown and Middletown and Kernstown during the early\nmorning of May 24th. The battle of Winchester occurred the following\nday. Particularly hard fighting was done by both sides, but the surprise\nmovements of Jackson during the past few days, the partial\ndemoralization of the Union forces and the keen fighting of the\nConfederate divisions drove Banks' army from Winchester and on to\nMartinsburg.\nLee sent instructions to Jackson to threaten an invasion of Maryland and\nan attack upon Washington at this excellent time. So on the 28th the\nStonewall Brigade set out towards Harper's Ferry and at Charlestown they\nmet a Federal force, routing them within twenty minutes. Ewell came up\nto support the Brigade and on the 29th the army of the Valley was\nencamped near Halltown. The greater part of the Federals crossed the\nPotomac River at Harper's Ferry. Jackson, however, learned that the\nUnion soldiers were advancing to cut off his retreat; Shields' division\nwas approaching Manassas Gap and Fremont had left Franklin and was about\nten miles from Moorefield. Jackson felt that Lee's orders had been\ncarried out and decided to retreat along the Valley Pike. The\nSoutherners turned southward towards Winchester. En route Jackson found\nout that the small force left at Front Royal had been driven back and\nthat Shields occupied the town. The Valley army was ordered to\nStrasburg, the First Brigade was called back from Charlestown, the\nprisoners and supplies were picked up at Winchester and moved southward.\n\"From the morning of May 19 to the night of June 1, a period of fourteen\ndays, the Army of the Valley had marched one hundred and seventy miles,\nhad routed a force of 12,500 men, had threatened the North with\ninvasions, had drawn off McDowell from Fredericksburg, had seized the\nhospitals and supply depots at Front Royal, Winchester, and Martinsburg,\nand finally, although surrounded on three sides by 60,000 men, had\nbrought off a huge convoy without losing a single wagon.\"\nWhen the Federals learned that Jackson had moved south Shields was sent\ntowards Luray from Front Royal. Fremont moved towards Woodstock. The\nFederal cavalry reached Luray on June 2nd and found that the enemy had\nalready been there and burned the bridges, thus cutting off their\napproach to New Market. A part of the Confederates were repulsed on June\n2nd between Strasburg and Woodstock and the skirmishing continued the\nnext day with the Confederates retreating to Mount Jackson and burning\nthe bridges over the North Fork of the Shenandoah River. The Union\ntroops tried to construct their pontoons across the stream but a driving\nrain and high waters prevented their doing so. This failure gave the\nrebels a day's respite.\nJackson with his force passed from Harrisonburg over to Cross Keys and\nthere bivouacked. The Northern generals looked upon this move as a\nretreat.\nOn June 8th and 9th the battles of Cross Keys and Port Republic took\nplace, victories for the Southerners. The Confederates moved on to\nBrown's Gap, a point a bit nearer Richmond. \"The success which the\nConfederates had achieved was undoubtedly important. The Valley army,\nposted at Brown's Gap, was now in direct communication with Richmond.\nNot only had its pursuers been roughly checked, but the sudden and\nunexpected counter-stroke, delivered by an enemy whom they believed to\nbe in full flight, had surprised Lincoln and Stanton as effectively as\nShields and Fremont.\"\nThus the plan of McClellan to fall upon Richmond had been postponed and\na division of the Northern forces was made necessary to protect the\nFederal capital and to supply Banks with troops.\nLater in the month Jackson's division moved with great secrecy to join\nGeneral Lee near Richmond--but that is a story for another time.\nBelle Boyd, the Spy\n\"In a pretty storied house, the walls completely covered by roses and\nhoneysuckle in luxuriant bloom\" according to Belle Boyd herself, lived\none of the most beautiful women and one of the most famous spies in all\nhistory.\nMartinsburg, her home in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley, was only a\nvillage then and she tells us about her neighbors and her childhood--\"It\nwas all golden and I was surrounded by devoted and beloved parents and\nbrothers and sisters ... our neighbors are some of the best families of\nthe Old Dominion descended from such ancestors as the Fairfaxes and\nWashingtons.\"\nWhen Belle was only twelve she was sent to Mount Washington Seminary in\nWashington. At sixteen her education was finished and she made her\nd\u00e9but. She wrote how brilliant were the Congressional and Senate balls\nwhere both Northern and Southern belles met and learned to love each\nother as sisters.\nThen came the dark days of Secession. Belle's own father was among the\nfirst to enlist in the defense of Virginia. Belle returned home where\nwith other ladies she helped raise funds with which to equip the\nConfederate soldiers. The colors were raised and on them one read these\nwords, \"Our God, Our Country and Our Women.\"\nThings were dull for Belle after her father and the boys marched away to\nHarper's Ferry. Soon she went to visit them where she enjoyed the social\nlife until messages came saying the Federal troops were approaching. She\nwas sent home and scarcely had she arrived before the Southern troops\nwithdrew to Falling Waters, near her home. She heard the distant boom of\ncannon and quickly there followed the battle of Martinsburg. After a\nskirmish of five hours, Belle saw General Jackson's troops retreat.\nHard upon them were the Federals entering the village with flags flying\nand the fifes playing the now despised \"Yankee Doodle.\"\nDawned the Fourth of July and Belle woke to see the Yankee flags flying\nfrom many homes. She heard the drunken soldiers as they planned to force\ntheir way into homes whose doors and blinds were shut tight. Blows began\nto batter down doors and those of the Boyd home were splintered as well\nas those of their neighbors.\nSome one had told the Federals that the walls of Belle's room were\ncovered with rebel flags. But though they searched none were found.\nBelle's Negro maid had taken them down and carefully hidden them. The\nsoldiers were furious and began to break furniture, glass ornaments, and\nabuse the Virginia sympathizers. Then they went out and began to raise\nthe United States flag over the Boyd home. This was more than Mrs. Boyd\ncould stand, so she spoke: \"Men, every member of my household will die\nbefore that flag shall be raised over us.\" Let us read Belle's account\nof what followed:\n     \"Upon this, one of the soldiers, thrusting himself forward\n     addressed my mother in language so offensive as it is\n     impossible to conceive. I could stand it no longer, my\n     indignation was aroused beyond control, my blood was literally\n     boiling in my veins, I drew out my pistol and shot him. He was\n     carried away mortally wounded and soon after he expired.\"\nThen the Boyd home was set on fire, but it was hastily put out. The\nNorthern commander quickly arrived and an investigation followed. After\na long and lengthy trial, during which time the Boyd home was guarded by\nsentries, the officer declared Belle had acted as any normal person\nwould have under similar circumstances.\nFrom this time on, Belle gave herself to the Confederate Cause. She met\nand charmed the Federal officers. She remembered their names and got\nthem to tell her their plans. These Belle carefully wrote down and sent\nto General J. E. B. Stuart. Soon she was under suspicion and one of her\nletters was seized by the enemy. She was sent for, arrested and asked if\nshe had written the letter. She acknowledged it, was rebuked and the\nArticles of War regarding such deeds were read to her. Again a\ntrial--and a dismissal.\nBelle was undaunted. She not only continued to pick up valuable\ninformation, but she picked up small side arms and pistols and these,\nalong with the information, found their way into the Southern lines.\nWhile on a visit to Front Royal the first battle of Manassas was fought.\nThe wounded were rushed into Front Royal and Belle found herself the\nmatron of the large hospital. Soldiers told how she worked night and\nday, tirelessly giving of herself to comfort and help \"the boys.\" After\neight weeks of such a strenuous life, Belle had to go home for a much\nneeded rest.\nBefore her mother thought she was strong enough, Belle left to visit her\nfather who was stationed at Manassas. Soon she was riding as a courier\nback and forth for General Jackson and General Beauregard.\nOn one occasion Belle was in Front Royal waiting for an opportunity to\ngo to Richmond where her family had gone. She had secured passes from\nsome of her Federal friends and she was staying in the same house in\nwhich General Shields was stopping. Belle's room was over the\nliving-room where the officers were making plans. A small hole in the\ncloset floor gave her a good view of the men--and served to let her hear\nevery word of their next maneuvers. Belle listened until one o'clock,\nwriting down in cypher each plan. Then she carefully stole down the back\nsteps, saddled a horse in the backyard and was off, fifteen miles, to\ncarry the message.\nTwice she was held up by Federal sentinels and twice she showed them\nFederal passes. She arrived safely back in Front Royal before day, as\nfresh as a \"morning flower.\"\nWe cannot give all of her escapades or her narrow escapes. Once she sped\nthrough Front Royal with a message for General Jackson, her white sun\nbonnet and white apron against a blue dress making her a target for the\nFederals. Several times she felt bullets tear her wide billowing skirt,\nbut she kept on until she had reached the General--giving him the\nposition of the enemy: General Banks, at Strasburg with 4,000 troops,\nGeneral White marching to Winchester and General Fremont approaching the\nValley--all planning to \"bottle up\" Jackson's force.\nQuickly the Confederates made plans which resulted in victory and\nGeneral Jackson wrote her, \"Miss Belle Boyd--I thank you for myself and\nfor the Army for the immense service that you have rendered your country\nthis day. Hastily your friend, T. J. Jackson, C. S. A.\"\nRomance like danger courted her wherever she was. Finally in 1864 she\ndecided to go to England. President Davis gave her important papers for\nSouthern sympathizers there. She sailed from Wilmington, North Carolina,\naboard the \"Greyhound.\" Vivid pictures are given of the crew throwing\noverboard bales of cotton, but even this did not enable the ship to\noutrun the fast Union vessels. Captain Bier also dropped a keg of money,\nover thirty thousand dollars in gold, in order to lighten the cargo.\nWhen Belle saw they could not avoid capture she destroyed her dispatch\nand managed to put into a belt many gold dollars which belonged to her\nand the captain of the boat. Let us read her description of the Federal\nofficer who said he must take over command of the \"Greyhound\":\n\"I confess my attention was riveted by a gentleman--the first whom I had\nmet in my hour of distress. His dark brown hair hung down on his\nshoulders, his eyes were large and bright. Those who judge beauty by\nregularity of feature would not only have pronounced him strictly\nhandsome, but the fascination of his manner was such that my heart\nyielded.\" He begged Belle to consider herself still a passenger, rather\nthan a prisoner, which evidently she did.\nThere was a moon, a soft breeze \"which swept the surface of the ocean\nuntil it was like a vast bed of sparkling diamonds.\" Lieutenant\nHardinge, the Federal officer, quoted poetry from Shakespeare and Byron\nand before the vessel reached Boston, Belle had given her heart and her\npromise to marry the lieutenant.\nWhile their own course of true love seemed to run smoothly enough\nvarious forces concentrated to keep them apart.\nFirst of all, soon after arriving in Boston Captain Bier escaped. And\nwhile Belle took the credit for that, Lieutenant Hardinge was under\nsuspicion. Besides, while Belle was being treated courteously in Boston\nher betrothed had gone to Washington in her behalf. The newspapers of\nthe day flaunted the stories of the beautiful Rebel Spy and everywhere\nshe went great crowds pushed themselves upon her.\nWhen Hardinge reached Washington he begged Gideon Welles, Secretary of\nthe Navy, permission for Miss Boyd to visit Canada. This was granted and\na telegram ordered an escort for her and her maid. However, notice was\ngiven her that if she were caught again in the United States she would\nbe shot.\nHer lover was captured next and arrested for aiding Captain Bier in\nescaping. Finally, he went to Paris in search of the beautiful woman who\nhad promised to marry him. After some time Belle, who was in Liverpool,\nlearned where he was. She wrote to him and they met in London; they were\nmarried in St. James' Church. There was a large and brilliant breakfast\nat which a huge wedding cake was cut. Lieutenant Hardinge promised to\nrun the blockade and carry pieces of wedding cake to his wife's friends.\nThis he did when he arrived in Wilmington. Later he was arrested in\nBaltimore, charged with being a deserter and was sent to prison.\nBelle interested herself in his behalf and we are told that her charms\nand the termination of the war secured his release. And so they lived\nhappily ever after!\nIn the foregoing account of the fearless work done by Belle Boyd and of\nher visit to Front Royal during the Battle of Manassas we are reminded\nof an inhabitant of the latter place, a Mr. McLean. Rumor has it that\nthe gentleman resided so close to the scene of battle--and it was a\nbloody encounter--he resolved to quit the place for a quieter section of\nVirginia. He had a distinct distaste for battles and bloodshed. So he\nmoved his family to Appomattox County in Virginia and watched the scene\nof war with a feeling of comparative safety. The reader has guessed the\nrest of the story.\nA little previous to April 9th, 1865 the Union and Confederate forces\nmet at a spot not far from the courthouse and negotiations were started\nfor the surrender of General Lee, in command of the Confederates. And on\nthe ninth the surrender was made at the McLean house which marked the\ncessation of war in Virginia. Poor Mr. McLean was present at the\nbeginning and conclusion of the fighting!\nHarrisonburg\nHarrisonburg is called the Friendly City and its people are noted for\ntheir hospitality. It is near famous caverns and historic battlefields.\nIt was named in honor of Thomas Harrison who had fifty acres of his land\nsurveyed and laid out into lots and streets. It might also be called the\ncenter of a large German element whose forefathers settled much of the\nsurrounding country. Harrisonburg is the county-seat of Rockingham\ncounty, which was formed from Augusta in 1778. This is the third largest\ncounty in Virginia.\nThese people have always been among the sturdiest and bravest in the\nValley. They gave the best they had to develop their new homes in a new\ncountry and when they were called upon to fight in the French and\nIndian War, there were no braver men to be had nor could any endure more\nhardships than they.\nDuring the Revolutionary War they were among the first to respond to the\ncall for volunteers. They were among the first to resent the closing of\nthe Boston Harbor by the British in 1774. We read an old account or\nnotation of Felix Gilbert who kept a shop near the town of Harrisonburg.\nHe agreed to take food-stuffs from his neighbors and send it to the\nrelief of the Bostonians. One of those entries, made in 1775, reads:\n     \"Rece'd for the Bostonians; Of Patrick Frazier 1 bushel of\n     wheat, of Jos. Dictom 2 bushels of wheat, of James Beard 1 bu.\n     of wheat, Geo. Clarke 1 bu. wheat, Robt. Scott and Sons, 2 bu.\n     wheat.\"\nMASSANUTTEN CAVERNS\nThe owners of the Massanutten Caverns call them the \"gem of the cavern\nworld,\" for they are a combination of the beautiful and the unusual.\nThey are located east of Harrisonburg on the Spotswood Trail.\nThese caverns are of rather recent discovery. In 1892 during a thriving\nlimestone industry some workmen blasted rock in the foothills and after\nthe discharge of dynamite was over they looked into a fairyland of\nstrange rooms and strange formations.\nThe operator of the caverns called the entrance \"Discovery Gate\" and\nplanned the route through the underground so that visitors begin their\njourney where the discovery was made.\nVacationists find themselves unloading their luggage and remaining\neither overnight or for longer periods of time when they see the\nfacilities offered there. The accommodations include a golf course and\nswimming pool as well as a lodge and cottages.\nGRAND CAVERNS\nBack in 1804 Bernard Weyer discovered the unusual caves situated on a\nbluff belonging to his neighbor Mr. Mohler. Nearly a century before, the\ncourageous \"Sir Knights of the Golden Horseshoe\" had passed by this part\nof the Blue Ridge--within ten miles of the entrance of the caverns,\nperhaps, and because of the layout of the land never suspected the\nunderground \"Buried City.\" Today these are called Grand Caverns and are\nlocated between Elkton and Mt. Sidney, the latter town being on the\nLee-Jackson Highway.\nYoung Weyer was a great hunter who enjoyed roaming the fields and\nhillsides in search of game. The historian Kercheval tells the story of\nthe day when Weyer went to find an elusive ground-hog, having previously\nset a trap for it. The animal not only had not been captured but for\nsome time had made a successful getaway with each trap set for it. Weyer\ndecided to dig for the ground-hog hide-out. \"A few moments' labor\nbrought him to the antechamber of this stupendous cavern, where he found\nhis traps safely deposited.\" Not content with eleven pages of flattering\nand minute descriptions of every passageway known then, Kercheval used\nanother page with \"Note A\" and \"Note B\" which described later\nexplorations. This makes interesting reading for those who have either\nvisited the Caverns or have not had that privilege and plan to see them.\nIn these accounts he included Congress Hall, The Infernal Regions,\nWashington's Hall, The Church, Jefferson's Hall and numerous others.\n_The Historical Collections of Virginia_ by Henry Howe gives a vivid\npicture of Weyer's Cave and the author further states:\n     \"A foreign traveller who visited the cave at an annual\n     illumination, has, in a finely written description, the\n     following notice:\n     \" ... Weyer's Cave is in my judgment one of the great natural\n     wonders of this new world; and for its eminence in its own\n     class, deserves to be ranked with the Natural Bridge and\n     Niagara, while it is far less known than either.... For myself,\n     I acknowledge the spectacle to have been most interesting; but,\n     to be so, it must be illuminated, as on this occasion. I had\n     thought that this circumstance might give to the whole a toyish\n     effect; but the influence of 2,000 or 3,000 lights on these\n     immense caverns is only such as to reveal the objects, without\n     disturbing the solemn and sublime obscurity which sleeps on\n     everything. Scarcely any scenes can awaken so many passions at\n     once, and so deeply. Curiosity, apprehension, terror, surprise,\n     admiration, and delight, by turns and together, arrest and\n     possess you. I have had before, from other objects, one simple\n     impression made with greater power; but I never had so many\n     impressions made, and with so much power, before. If the\n     interesting and the awful are the elements of the sublime, here\n     sublimity reigns, as in her own domain, in darkness, silence,\n     and deeps profound.\"\nBear in mind that this account was given long before 1850 and that Grand\nCaverns was first known as Weyer's Cave.\nWe learned that the Cave was used as a source of income by its owners\nfirst in 1836, when the large chambers were converted into temporary\ndance halls for the countryside youth. Mentioned above is the fact that\nthe caverns were lighted once a year and admission was charged on this\noccasion. About 1925 the passages were lighted properly and tourists\nbegan their trek to this wonder of nature.\nA modern note is to be found in the name \"Linbergh Bridge\"--one not\nmentioned as such by any of the early writers!\nMASSANETTA SPRINGS\nOne of the most delightful places in all the Valley is Massanetta\nSprings. It is one of those beauty spots which one finds after going\nthrough Swift Run Gap, famous for being the first gap through which came\nthe English with Governor Spotswood and his Knights of the Golden\nHorseshoe. It was through here, too, that General George Washington\npassed on horseback in 1784.\nLong ago these springs were known as Taylor Springs and during the War\nBetween the States the wounded soldiers were cared for there. Many\nfamous people lived in and around this lovely spring. We are told that\nDaniel Boone's wife lived near here, and that Abraham Lincoln's father,\nThomas Lincoln, was born not more than twelve miles away on Linville\nCreek. Not far away is Singer's Glen where some of the first early\nAmerican hymns and songs were published.\nToday various religious denominations hold summer conferences at the\nSprings.\nStaunton\nNear Lewis's Fort a settlement grew up and in 1749 a town was chartered.\nIt was named Staunton in honor of Lady Staunton, wife of Governor Gooch,\nthe official who had given so many land grants to Lewis and his Scotch\nneighbors. At that time, the town was the county-seat of Augusta (formed\nfrom Orange County in 1738), whose boundaries swept far to the west. Old\nrecords show that one time the court adjourned in Staunton and\nreconvened at Fort Duquesne, the colonial outpost which has long since\nbecome Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.\nIf one would search further, he would find this was done during the\nFrench and Indian troubles. Five Chiefs, or rather several of the Five\nNations, signed this order or treaty and it is to be seen among other\nhistorical documents in the Court House in Staunton.\nAfter the Legislature fled from Charlottesville to Staunton during\nTarleton's Raid, that body met and held its sessions in old Trinity\nEpiscopal Church. During this short time, Staunton was called \"the\nCapital of Virginia.\"\nThe area around Staunton is full of War Between the States history too,\nreferred to in other places.\nWoodrow Wilson was born here in a lovely old Presbyterian manse which is\nnow a shrine to one of the greatest Presidents of the United States.\nHere, annually, thousands of Americans come to honor him.\n[Illustration:--_Courtesy Virginia State Chamber of Commerce_\n\"THE MANSE\"\nWOODROW WILSON'S BIRTHPLACE, STAUNTON, VA.]\nThe town is a center of culture, for there are located many splendid\nschools; among them, for girls are Mary Baldwin and Stuart Hall.\nStaunton Military Academy and nearby Augusta Military Academy are\nrecognized as outstanding schools for boys. There are two business\nschools, Dunsmore and Templeton Business College. The one for the deaf\nand blind is a State institution.\nTarleton entered Charlottesville on the fourth day of June in 1781.\nJefferson's term as governor expired four days later. Ex-Governor\nPatrick Henry had been his guest while the Legislature was meeting\nthere. He now hastened to Staunton where the Legislators had fled from\nCharlottesville. Mr. Jefferson, according to one historian, concealed\nhimself in a cave in Carter's Mountain and Patrick Henry, in his flight\nto Staunton, met Colonel Lewis and told him of how the Legislators had\nfled Charlottesville upon Tarleton's invasion.\nColonel Lewis, not knowing who Patrick Henry was, replied \"If Patrick\nHenry had been in Albemarle, the British Dragoons never would have\npassed over the Rivanna River.\"\nThe Legislators were badly demoralized, for they feared Tarleton would\ncome to Staunton. Many of them left during the night and went to the\nhospitable home of Colonel George Moffett. During Mr. Henry's hasty\nchanges he had the misfortune to lose one of his boots. While eating\nbreakfast the next morning, Mrs. Moffett remarked, \"There was one member\nof the Legislative body whom I knew would not run.\" The question was\nasked by one of the party, \"Who is he?\" Her reply was, \"Patrick Henry,\"\nat that moment a gentleman with one boot colored perceptibly. The party\nsoon left and after their departure a servant rode up and asked for Mr.\nHenry, saying he had forgotten his boot. Of course Mrs. Moffett knew\nwhom the boot fitted.\nA tale made more popular perhaps because of a recent revival of interest\nin Salem witchcraft is that of a woman who lived years ago in Augusta\nCounty and who was a great aunt of Governor James McDowell of Rockbridge\nCounty. She was born Mary McDowell and married James Greenlee.\nIt is recounted that she was an unusually attractive and intelligent\nyoung woman but was considered highly eccentric in her behavior.\nNeighbors thought that an early love affair had contributed something to\nher peculiar manner. Be that as it may, she was regarded by her\nacquaintances as a witch. They believed she had made a written contract\nwith the devil--a contract drawn up in duplicate form so that each party\nmight retain a copy!\nOnce at a quilting party in her home she urged one of the quilters to\ntake a second piece of cake and laughingly remarked that \"the mare that\ndoes double work should be best fed.\" The women misconstrued this to be\nan acknowledgment that she was a witch who rode a mare at night on her\nexcursions to meet the devil. The rumor of her evil activities rapidly\nspread throughout the countryside.\n[Illustration:--_Courtesy Virginia State Chamber of Commerce_\nWOODROW WILSON'S BED, STAUNTON, VA.]\nThe neighborhood thought she was capable of placing curses upon them and\nattributed such tragedies as fires, loss of family or stock, or poor\ncrops to the unfortunate woman.\nThe fact that she was never brought before the court with the accusation\nof being a witch was due in large measure to the standing of the family.\nThat does not mean, however, that Mrs. Greenlee did not live a wretched\nexistence or that failure to declare her a witch made the people less\nafraid of her powers.\nWhile he was President of the United States, Woodrow Wilson returned to\nStaunton and placed a tablet on the wall of the First Presbyterian\nChurch in memory of his father, Dr. Joseph Wilson, a former minister.\nThe church in which Dr. Wilson used to preach and in which the President\nwas christened serves now as the Chapel of Mary Baldwin College.\nAn interesting old home in Staunton is the Stuart House, located on\nLewis Street. It was planned by the great architect and builder Thomas\nJefferson. Mr. A. H. Stuart, the owner, was a member of President\nFillmore's Cabinet.\nThe main building of the School for the Deaf and Blind is an unexcelled\nexample of Doric architecture. During the War Between the States it was\nused as a hospital.\nWaynesboro and Afton\n\"Mad Anthony Wayne,\" the Revolutionary hero, has a town named for him in\nVirginia--Waynesboro. This is a beautiful place which has become even\nmore popular upon completion of the projected Skyline Drive southward\nfrom Swift Run Gap.\nThe State Conservation Commission has erected an historical marker which\nstates briefly:\n     \"Here on one of the first roads west of the Blue Ridge, a\n     hamlet stood in colonial times. The Walker exploring expedition\n     started from this vicinity in 1748. Here, in June 1781, the\n     Augusta militia assembled to join Lafayette in the East. A town\n     was founded in 1797. It was established by law in 1801 and\n     named for General Anthony Wayne.\"\nIn 1854 the countryside was very much excited over the trip made by the\nfirst train travelling west of the Blue Ridge. Crowds gathered to see\nthe phenomenon and half of them left in fright, we are told, as the iron\nhorse chugged off. Incidentally, mules hauled the first passenger engine\nover the high mountains and set it down for its memorable exodus.\nFor the most part the buildings one sees in the town have been erected\nsince 1861, for in that year a devastating fire wiped out the landmarks\nof pioneer days.\nThe last battle in Northern Virginia during the War Between the States\noccurred here in March 1865, just about a month before the surrender of\nGeneral Lee at Appomattox. Hoping to protect Rockfish Gap, General Early\nhad his Confederate forces quartered in the town. Sheridan, the Union\nGeneral, surprised him and captured more than half the rebels.\nFurnishing power for the large manufacturing interests are the numerous\nsprings of Waynesboro, which have a capacity of millions of gallons of\nwater a day. If you are unfamiliar with springs such as Virginia has,\nyou should stop at Brunswick, Baker's, or Basic Lithia Springs for an\nunusual sight.\nSwannanoa, one of the finest estates in Virginia, is on top of the\nmountain between Waynesboro and Afton. It is said by numbers of people\nthat two of the loveliest views in America may be had from this point:\nRockfish and Shenandoah valleys. You will probably agree with the\nstatement when you stand where you may get a commanding view of the\ncountry below you. The large home on the estate is now a country club.\nNearby is the site of \"Old Mountain Top Tavern,\" widely known years ago\nfor its fine hospitality. A group met at the tavern in 1818 to decide\nthe location of the proposed University of Virginia. Among them were\nMadison, Monroe, Marshall and Jefferson.\nDriving along the roads you see some of the finest peach orchards in\nVirginia, for the section is famed for its high quality fruit. Not only\ndo peaches abound here, but you will also see splendid apple orchards.\nIf you happen along at the right season you will be able to stop at a\nroadside market to buy the renowned Albemarle Pippins--the apples which\nare grown for miles around--and some of the luscious peaches.\nNatural Bridge\n\"Who first discovered Natural Bridge?\" is a question which nearly every\none asks, and a second one is, \"How high is it?\"\nThe answer to the first is given in an old Indian legend which reads\nsomething like this: Long, long ago, years before the Princess\nPocahontas saved the life of Captain John Smith, there was a terrible\nwar between some of the tribes. The Shawnees were noted for their\ncruelty and they joined forces with the Powhatans. They roamed through\nVirginia and fell upon the Monocans, a more friendly tribe.\n[Illustration: NATURAL BRIDGE]\nThere had been a famine that year and the Monocans were weakened by\nhunger and many of their braves fell in battle. After a long conflict,\nthe Monocans decided to retreat and they gave way before the enemy. But\nthey were pursued relentlessly. The Monocans sought refuge in a strange\nforest and suddenly they came upon a high chasm, whose steep walls were\nof rock. The braves peered over and were made dizzy when they saw the\ngreat distance to the bottom below, where a swiftly running river looked\nlike a small silver ribbon.\nEven the strongest could not have jumped across the wide chasm, for it\nwas over a hundred feet wide. Their swiftest scouts ran hither and yon,\nbut each brought back word that there was no way around.\nThe Monocans were in despair and in their distress threw themselves upon\nthe ground and cried aloud to the Great Spirit to spare their lives from\nthe approaching enemy.\nOne of the braves arose and went again to the edge of the cliff. He\nstared down at his feet, then turned and shouted, \"Our prayers have been\ngranted us--The Great Spirit has built for us a bridge across the great\nabyss.\"\n\"Be careful,\" cried one of the men. \"Send the squaws and children first\nto test it. If they cross in safety, then we will know it will be heavy\nenough to carry our weight also.\"\nAnd so the women and children passed over into the shelter of the forest\nbeyond. Even as they went they could hear the war whoops of the\nadvancing enemy.\nBut the Monocans were refreshed in spirit. Their courage had returned,\nfor was not the Great Spirit on their side? The braves quickly took\npositions on the bridge, each feeling he stood on sacred ground, and\nlike the Greeks of old at Thermopylae they turned and faced their enemy\nand fought victoriously. From that day, we are told, they called it \"The\nBridge of God\" and worshipped it.\nThe first white man to own Natural Bridge was Thomas Jefferson, and one\nmay see the original land grant still hanging on the walls of Monticello\nwhich reads, in part:\n     \"Know ye that for divers good causes and considerations, but\n     more Especially for and in Consideration of the sum of Twenty\n     Shillings of good and lawful money for our use paid to our\n     Receiver General of our Revenues, in this our Colony and\n     Dominion of Virginia, We have Given, Granted and Confirmed, and\n     by these presents for us, our heirs and successors, Do give,\n     Grant and confirm unto Thomas Jefferson, one certain Tract or\n     parcel of land, containing 157 acres, lying and being in the\n     County of Botetourt, including the Natural Bridge on Cedar\n     Creek, a branch of James River ...\"\nWe are told that George Washington surveyed the land in 1750, and while\nthere he climbed up 23 feet and carved his initials \"G. W.\" on the\nsoutheast walls; the guide today will try to point them out to the\nvisitor. A story is also told that George Washington threw a stone from\nthe bottom of Cedar Creek over the Bridge. Evidently he liked to test\nhis strength by such sports, for it is said that he threw a Spanish\ndollar across the Rappahannock River opposite the town of\nFredericksburg.\nWhen this story was told to the late President Cleveland, he replied, \"I\ndo not know about that, but I am well assured he threw a sovereign\nacross the Atlantic.\"\nIn 1927 another stone was found which scientists think proved George\nWashington surveyed that territory. This stone is a large one and also\nbears his initials which are engraved in a surveyor's cross. Evidently\nhe measured the height of the Bridge by dropping a line from the edge of\nthe bridge to the cross below.\nThomas Jefferson called his purchase the \"most Sublime of Nature's\nworks.\" He visited it many times and during his presidency, in 1802, he\nsurveyed the place with his own hands. He later built a log cabin which\ncontained two rooms and one of them was always kept ready for a visitor.\nMany famous people visited there and the list includes such men as John\nMarshall, James Monroe, Henry Clay, Sam Houston and Martin Van Buren.\nWhile in France, Jefferson collected many plants and shrubs which he\nsent to America; many of these were planted at the Bridge, and some are\nstill in existence.\nCedar Creek, the parent of the Bridge, has been busy for thousands of\nyears cutting a bit deeper each year.\nThe answer to the second question, \"How high is it?,\" is found on a\nGovernment bench which carries a brass plate, \"1,150 feet above the\nsea.\" It is 245 feet high and is 90 feet wide.\nBoys and men are especially interested in the exciting story of how Dr.\nChester Reeds actually measured the wonderful Bridge. He had a special\nbasket built which was strong enough to hold him. Two hundred and fifty\nfeet of rope was fastened to it and run through a pulley and one end of\nit was tied to a fence post. He was very dizzy at first and could not\ntake pictures of the side walls of the bridge. Gradually he became\naccustomed to turning around and was able to get many fine ones at\nvarious angles and of the massive supporting walls, the huge slabs of\nlimestone and some of the foliage.\nNatural Bridge is a monument to the patience of Old Mother Nature and\nher skill as an artist. Today, one wonders at the deep gorge--by night,\nwith modern electrification, one is spellbound by its beauty--and when\nsweet music fills the glen with its symphonies one's soul is lifted to\nthe Greatest Artist of all--to God in reverence and gratitude.\nRockbridge\nRockbridge County takes its name from the celebrated Natural Bridge and\nwas formed from Augusta and Botetourt counties. A branch of the James\nRiver is called North River and this stream waters the county, flowing\ndiagonally across it. Some of the richest soil in all the Valley is\nfound in Rockbridge. Lexington, which is the county-seat, takes its name\nfrom the town of Lexington in Massachusetts and was founded in 1778. The\nfirst buildings of the old town were mostly destroyed by fire in 1794\nand were replaced with substantial brick buildings. An Englishman who\nwas visiting America long ago described the little town in these words:\n     \"The town as a settlement, has many attractions. It is\n     surrounded by beauty, and stands at the head of a valley\n     flowing with milk and honey. House rent is low, provisions are\n     cheap, abundant and of the best quality.\"\nThe settlers were mostly the Scotch-Irish and of the Presbyterian faith.\nAs soon as they had cleared the lands and built their homes they planted\norchards, built their barns and settled down. These were thoughtful men\nand women who kept their emotions under constant guard. Yet when\noccasion arose, they spoke simply and clearly and were unafraid. They\ndetested civil tyranny and as they were far away from the seat of\ngovernment, to a certain extent they made their own laws and rigidly\nadhered to them.\nThey were among the first in the Valley of Virginia to rally to the\ndefense of their country during the War of the Revolution.\nIn their moral life, they were almost Puritanical. This was founded on\nreligious principle and often they were considered austere and stern.\nYet those who knew them, felt the kindness and devotion to which they\ndid not give expressions in words. To them, deeds meant more than\npromises. Though they reproved one without a smile, their eyes often\nexpressed understanding and sympathy and the offending one felt the deep\nlove which had moved the other to speak--always for the good of the\noffender. And while some other fault would rear its head, not often was\nthe offense repeated which had called forth the reproach.\nThe men and women were deeply religious and family prayers were the\nfirst order of the day. As soon as homes were established provisions\nwere made for religious services to be held. Tiny churches dotted the\nValley wherever the Scotch-Irish settled. If the church was far away, as\nit was from some, on meeting day young and old mounted their horses and\nrode the intervening miles for the long services.\nMany of these old Presbyterian churches are still standing today and\nthey serve as monuments to that hardy race of men and women who braved\nall for religious freedom and for civic liberty. The building of these\nchurches meant such labor as we of the present generation cannot know.\nThere were no roads and no sawmills. An old historian tells us how one\nchurch was built:\n     \"The people of Providence Congregation packed all the sand used\n     in building their church from a place six miles distant, sack\n     and sack, on the backs of horses! And what is almost\n     incredible, the fair wives and daughters of the congregation\n     are said to have undertaken this part of the work, while the\n     men labored at the stone and timber. Let not the\n     great-granddaughters of these women blush for them however\n     deeply they would blush themselves to be found in such\n     employment. For ourselves, we admire the conduct of these\n     females; it was not only excusable, but praiseworthy--it was\n     almost heroic! It takes Spartan mothers to rear Spartan men.\n     These were among the women whose sons and grandsons sustained\n     Washington in the most disastrous period of the Revolution.\"\nThere was little social life in those early days such as their eastern\ncousins knew along the James River. Except for their church festivals,\nthey did little entertaining. Twice a year they held the Lord's Supper\nand this lasted for four days, with religious services each day. During\nthese times families living nearest the church invited those who lived\nat great distances to stay with them. Often some young couple would be\nmarried, either just before or immediately after these services. Then\nthere would be a little merriment, extra cakes and a few playful pranks.\nTHE FIRST ACADEMY IN THE VALLEY\nDr. Ruffner has left us a description of Timber Ridge, which was built\nnear Fairfield in Rockbridge County in 1776. The school took its name\nfrom the fine oak trees which grew along its ridge. He writes:\n     \"The schoolhouse was a log cabin. The fine oak forest, which\n     had given Timber Ridge its name, cast its shade over it in\n     summer and afforded convenient fuel in winter. A spring of pure\n     water gushed from the rocks near the house. From amidst the\n     trees the student had a fine view of the country below and the\n     neighboring Blue Ridge. In short all the features of the place\n     made it a fit habitation of the woodland muse and the hill\n     deserved the name of Mount Pleasant. Hither about thirty youths\n     of the mountains repaired to 'taste of the Pierian spring.' Of\n     reading, writing and ciphering, the boys of the country had\n     before acquired such knowledge as primary schools could afford;\n     but with a few late exceptions, Latin, Greek, algebra, geometry\n     and such like scholastic mysteries were things of which they\n     had heard--which they knew perhaps to lie covered up in the\n     learned heads of their pastors--but of the nature and uses they\n     had no conception whatever.\n     \"It was a log hut of one room. The students carried their\n     dinner with them from the boarding-schools in the neighborhood.\n     They conned their lesson either in the schoolroom where the\n     recitations were heard, or under the shade of the trees where\n     breezes whispered and birds sang without disturbing their\n     studies. A horn--perhaps a cow's horn--summoned the school from\n     play and scattered classes to recitations.\n     \"Instead of broadcloth coats, the students generally wore a far\n     more graceful garment, the hunting shirt, home-spun,\n     home-woven, and home-made, by the industry of wives and\n     daughters.\n     \"Their amusements were not less remote from the modern taste of\n     students--cards, backgammon, flutes, fiddles, and even marbles\n     were scarcely known among these mountain boys. Firing pistols\n     and ranging the field with shotguns to kill little birds for\n     sport, they would have considered a waste of time and\n     ammunition. As to frequenting tippling shops of any\n     denomination, that was impossible because no such catchpenny\n     lures for students existed in the country, or would have been\n     tolerated. Had any huckster of liquors, knicknacks, and\n     explosive crackers, hung out signs in those days, the old\n     Puritan morality of the land was yet vigorous enough to abate\n     the nuisance. The sports of the students were mostly gymnastic,\n     both manly and healthful--such as leaping, running, wrestling,\n     pitching quoits and playing ball. In this rustic seminary a\n     considerable number of young men began their education, who\n     afterwards bore a distinguished part in the civil and\n     ecclesiastical affairs of the country.\"\nValley Inventions\nThe Valley of Virginia has often been termed \"the granary of the South.\"\nIt is no wonder that farmers from time to time have tried to shorten\ntheir labor in the wheat fields by inventing machines to do their work.\nThe name Robert McCormick means little or nothing to most of us, yet on\nhis farm, Walnut Grove, near Lexington he made repeated attempts to\ninvent a workable reaper. His son, Cyrus, had watched with growing\ninterest each of his father's undertakings. His regrets must have been\nas keen as the elder McCormick's when they realized one May morning in\n1831 that the clumsy machine could not replace the hand scythe and\ncradle.\nCyrus knew something of machinery and determined to improve his father's\npoor invention in time for the next harvesting. During the intervening\nsix weeks he stayed in the workshop as much as the busy growing season\nwould allow and secured the ready help of a slave boy, Joe Anderson.\nIn July when the wheat was ready to harvest Cyrus and his father moved\nthe machine out to the field. There a crowd of neighbors gathered and\nwatched with fascination as the reaper cut six acres of wheat during the\nday.\nMcCormick continued to improve his invention and other farmers risked\ntheir money in purchasing the first six he offered on the market.\nEventually the news spread to the grain fields of the Middle West and he\nopened factories to supply the farmers there.\nFor years the inventor strove to improve the reaper; he discovered that\nother labor saving devices were needed equally as badly, and he offered\nother types of farm machinery to the rich farm lands.\nInventive genius lay near Lexington along other lines, too. It was near\nhere that James Gibbs invented his common sense stitch sewing-machine\nwhich was a forerunner of our more modern models. And what a\nlabor-saving machine that was to all the housewives!\nWASHINGTON COLLEGE\nThe Scotch-Irish were determined to have the best schools and colleges\nfor their children. The Hanover Presbytery, which in 1776 embraced all\nthe Presbyterian churches in Virginia, established a school which they\ncalled Liberty Hall Academy. This was built in Lexington, Virginia, with\nthe Reverend William Graham, a native of Pennsylvania, as its first\npresident. George Washington, in 1796, gave the school a regular\nendowment, the first of its kind. This is how it was made:\nThe Legislature of Virginia \"as a testimony of their gratitude for his\nservices,\" and as \"a mark of their respect,\" presented to George\nWashington a certain number of shares in the Old James River Company, an\nindustry then in progress. Unwilling to accept anything for his own\nbenefit, he gave it to the Liberty Hall Academy.\nIn 1812, the Trustees of the school voted to ask the Virginia\nLegislature to change the name to Washington College. Many others\ndecided to follow George Washington's fine example. A Mr. John Robinson\nleft his whole estate to the college; the next to aid it, we are told,\nwas the newly organized Society of the Cincinnati of Virginia.\nOld records of the school throw an interesting light regarding the\nexpenses of a student in those far-off days. The treasurer's bill for\ntuition, room rent, deposits and matriculation was $45 per year. Board\nwas $7.50 a month. Laundry, fuel, candles and bed amounted to about\nthree dollars per month. The cost of everything averaged about $140 a\nyear.\nLexington\nWhen he was beset and overwhelmed, and without supplies, Robert Edward\nLee reached Appomattox in April, 1865, and surrendered to General Grant\non April 9th. He realized that the people of the South needed courage\nand strength, and though he was offered many places of honor with\nsplendid salaries, he decided to help rebuild Virginia. When the call\ncame to become president of Washington College in Lexington he accepted\nand took up his duties there in October, 1865.\nAs he spoke to the students assembled in the new chapel he saw familiar\nfaces. Many of them had followed him during the years of the War Between\nthe States; they, too, had courage and hope. These boys and men loved\nthe noble man and they were willing to follow him in rebuilding their\nhomes and the Southland.\n     \"All good citizens must unite in honest efforts to obliterate\n     the effects of war, and to restore the blessings of peace. They\n     must not abandon their country, but go to work and build up its\n     prosperity.\n     \"The young men especially must stay at home, bearing themselves\n     in such a manner as to gain the esteem of every one, at the\n     same time that they maintain their own respect.\n     \"It should be the object of all to avoid controversy, to allay\n     passion, and to give scope to every kindly feeling.\"\nIn every respect he was prepared to be the president of a great school,\nfor he himself had been a model student at West Point. He had already\nserved as Superintendent there for three years.\nHe was very happy during the short years he lived in Lexington. He had\nthe grounds improved, planted many trees, and repaired the much worn\nbuildings. He studied and worked over the courses of study and enlarged\nthe faculty.\nA young girl who was visiting in the home of General Lee in Lexington,\ntells the following story. It was soon after the Surrender at Appomattox\nand his acceptance of the Presidency of Washington College.\nGeneral Lee, with his family, was living in one of the comfortable and\nlarge houses near the college. Their home at Arlington had been\nconfiscated during the War Between the States, and they had no furniture\nexcept some which neighbors had lent them.\n[Illustration:--_Courtesy Virginia State Chamber of Commerce_\nWASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY, LEXINGTON, VA.]\nOne day a letter came to General Lee, telling him good news. A lady who\nlived in New York wrote him that her husband had died, and having no\nchildren she had decided to give up housekeeping. She had been very\nhappy and had loved her home. Now she wanted the furnishings to belong\nto someone who would appreciate and would care for them. She wrote she\nsympathized with them in not having their own furniture and that there\nwas no one to whom she had rather give hers.\nGeneral Lee hated the thought of accepting, until he read on, that if he\ncould not use the furniture himself, perhaps he could use it in his\ncollege. After some time he wrote the lady he would be very grateful and\nwould appreciate it very much.\nIn the meantime Mrs. Lee was looking forward to its coming, for her\nlarge rooms were indeed very bare. At last the great boxes came. General\nLee was busy, so Mrs. Lee waited until he could be present to have them\nopened.\nAfter lunch one day, General Lee had men come to open them. Mrs. Lee's\neyes shone as the first box revealed two huge red velvet carpets.\nShe looked at the General. His eyes were shining too.\n\"Look, my dear,\" he said, \"The very thing we need! If we cut them\ncarefully, we will have enough to carpet the platform and the aisles of\nthe new chapel!\"\n\"Of course,\" she smiled, never saying one word about how warm and lovely\nthey would make the double parlors in their own home.\nThe next box was opened with intense interest. The men lifted out the\nupper part of a handsome bookcase. The next brought the lower half, a\nlovely desk, with many drawers.\n\"Oh,\" thought Mrs. Lee. \"That will fill up that terrible space between\nthe windows.\"\n\"This is the very thing we want,\" General Lee said, as the men took them\nto the walk. \"We will put that in the basement of the new chapel. We\nwill use it for our records and put our best books in the bookcase, and\nthis will be the beginning of our college library.\"\nAnd so it went. He used the best of everything for his college, and Mrs.\nLee took only the odds and ends which did not fit anywhere else.\nSomeone told her she should have taken a stand and insisted upon taking\nsome of the best.\n\"Oh, no,\" she laughed, \"it was worth giving all of it up to see the joy\nthe General had in putting it to use in his college. The boys come\nfirst--both of us are so interested in them.\"\nGeneral Lee died in October, 1870, loved by men and women, boys and\ngirls in both the North and South. His body rests under a beautiful\nwhite marble figure, which was sculptured by his friend, Edward\nValentine. It is called the Recumbent Statue of General Lee and lies in\nthe Chapel of Washington and Lee. This is now a shrine to which hundreds\ncome daily from all over the world to pay their homage, love and respect\nto this great man.\n[Illustration:--_Courtesy Virginia State Chamber of Commerce_\nVIRGINIA MILITARY INSTITUTE]\nTHE VIRGINIA MILITARY INSTITUTE\nVirginia Military Institute was first an academy and was established in\nconnection with Washington College by an act of the Legislature during\nthe years 1838-9. A guard of soldiers had been maintained at the expense\nof the State for the purpose of affording protection to the arms\ndeposited in the Lexington arsenal for the use of the militia in western\nVirginia. It was through the influence of Governor McDowell, who came\nfrom Rockbridge County, that this militia was made into an educational\nunit of Washington College.\nOne seldom thinks of the Virginia Military Institute without associating\nwith it the noted Colonel Claudius Crozet--soldier, educator and\nengineer. He was the first president of the V.M.I. Board of Visitors. An\nimposing hall at the Institute is named in his honor.\nIn the Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hall hangs the painting which depicts\nthe charge of the corps of cadets at the Battle of New Market. \"This\ngreat painting, not a mural, is one of the largest canvas paintings in\nthe country\"--according to authorities there.\nAmong other memorial buildings is the one erected in honor of\nBrigadier-General Scott Shipp, a former cadet, instructor and\nsuperintendent; Maury-Brooke Hall, dedicated to Matthew Fontaine Maury,\nthe Pathfinder of the Seas and honoring Commander John Mercer Brooke,\ninventor of the deep-sea sounding apparatus and builder of the first\nsuccessful iron-clad vessel, the \"Merrimac.\"\nDuring the War Between the States the greater part of the buildings were\ndestroyed by Federal authority. When General Lee heard of this tragedy\nhe wrote to General F. H. Smith, the superintendent there. We quote his\nletter because of its prophetic message:\n     \"CAMP PETERSBURG, (VA.) _July 4, 1864_.\n     \"I have grieved over the destruction of the Military Institute.\n     But the good that has been done to the country cannot be\n     destroyed, nor can its name or fame perish. It will rise\n     stronger than before, and continue to diffuse its benefits to a\n     grateful people. Under wise administration, there will be no\n     suspension of its usefulness. The difficulties by which it is\n     surrounded will call forth greater energies from its officers\n     and increased diligence from its pupils. Its prosperity I\n     consider certain.\n     \"With great regards, yours very truly,\nThere is a glamor attached to this Virginia school unique in the\ncountry. It comes not alone from the bright cadet uniforms, the parade\ngrounds, the gray stone barracks and the _esprit de corps_ evidenced\nthere; part is kept alive by the hundreds of loyal alumni and friends\nwhose devotion is unlimited. This \"West Point of the South\" maintains\nthe traditions of the time of Stonewall Jackson and graduates young\nofficers for the army and young men for every field of business. A\ncurrent Broadway show of popular appeal and a cinema of note is that of\n\"Brother Rat\" which depicts the life at V.M.I.\nCulpeper Minute Men\nWho can resist a story about the Revolutionary War? There is a\nfascination surrounding the heroes and heroines of that era and most of\nus listen attentively to any legend depicting the action of our\nforefathers.\nFrom a point along the Skyline Drive one may look toward Culpeper\nCounty. (In fact, in all probability you passed through a part of this\nold county if you took an east to west route to reach the drive.) Among\nother things Culpeper is justly famous for its Minute Men of the\nRevolutionary War.\nThe town was formed from Orange in 1748 and was named in honor of Lord\nCulpeper, Governor of Virginia from 1680 to 1683. This land was a part\nof the original land grant to Lord Fairfax. It was here in the old\nCourthouse that young George Washington produced his commission as\nsurveyor. The record reads:\n     \"20th July, 1749--George Washington Gent. produced a commission\n     from the President and Master of William and Mary College,\n     appointing him to be surveyor of this county, which was read,\n     and thereupon he took the usual oaths to his majesty's person\n     and government, and took and subscribed the abjuration oath and\n     test, and then took the oath of surveyor, according to law.\"\nSpeaking years later in the Senate, John Randolph of Roanoke remarked\nthat the Minute Men \"were raised in a minute, armed in a minute, marched\nin a minute, fought in a minute, and vanquished in a minute.\" These\nsoldiers chose as part of their uniform green hunting shirts with\n\"Liberty or Death\" stamped in large letters across the front. Buck tails\nhung from their old hats and from their belts swung tomahawks and\nscalping knives. Their wild appearance on reaching Williamsburg, the\ncapital of the colony, set the inhabitants in as much fear as did the\nthought of invasion by the enemy! Lieutenant John Marshall who was later\nto become Chief Justice was among the number--as was his father.\nThe slogan of the Minute Men \"Liberty or Death\" brought forth humor from\none wag who said the phrasing was too strong for him; he would enlist if\nit were changed to \"Liberty or Be Crippled.\"\nAlmost upon their immediate arrival at Williamsburg they were marched to\nNorfolk County and were participants in the Battle of Great Bridge.\nBlind Preacher\nNot so far from Gordonsville there is a simple marker near the site of\n\"Belle Grove,\" a little church made famous by a blind preacher. And back\nof the monument itself is a story well worth repeating. It is a tale\ntold by William Wirt in his _British Spy_.\nIn that account Wirt said:\n     \"It was one Sunday as I travelled through the county of Orange,\n     that my eye was caught by a cluster of horses tied near a\n     ruinous old wooden house in the forest, not far from the\n     roadside. Having frequently seen such objects before, in\n     travelling through these States, I had no difficulty in\n     understanding that this was a place of religion.\"\nHe stated further that he was filled with curiosity as to the type of\nminister who would preach in such a wilderness as he was passing through\nand so he stopped and joined the worshippers. He described the preacher,\na Presbyterian in faith, as having one of the most striking appearances\nhe had ever seen and a most remarkable delivery.\n     \"I have never seen, in any other orator, such a union of\n     simplicity and majesty. He has not a gesture, an attitude, or\n     an accent, to which he does not seem forced by the sentiment\n     which he is expressing. His mind is too serious, too earnest,\n     too solicitous, and, at the same time, too dignified, to stoop\n     to artifice. Although as far removed from ostentation as a man\n     can be, yet it is clear from the train, the style, and\n     substance of his thoughts, that he is not only a very polite\n     scholar, but a man of extensive and profound erudition.\"\nJames Waddel was the name of this remarkable old man of God. He was born\nin Ireland in 1739 and was brought to America as an infant.\nAnother interesting tale was told in the neighborhood. Waddel's fame as\na preacher had spread through the vicinity. On one occasion a committee\nfrom a different faith prepared to wait on him and urge him to occupy\ntheir pulpit as well as his own. Upon nearing his dwelling they were\nshocked to hear sweet plaintive notes coming from a violin and resolved\nto learn who in his household would dare to play the devil's instrument.\nThey crept softly to the window. Such amazement was theirs when they saw\ntheir potential minister himself drawing the bow--and with apparent\nenjoyment and satisfaction. More quickly than they had approached did\nthey leave the yard and felt righteously thankful that they had seen the\ntrue nature of the man before it was too late!\nNot only did the Blind Preacher serve as minister, but like others of\nhis profession he conducted a school.\nAnd what happened to the old church itself? Long abandoned as a meeting\nhouse for the Presbyterians, about 1850 it was sold and taken down by\nthe \"Sons of Temperance\" and converted into a temperance hall at\nGordonsville. Later it housed a school. Finally it was sold to a colored\npreacher as a church for his flock.\nHebron Church\nOutstanding among the old churches in this part of Virginia is Hebron\nChurch in Madison County.\nThe little colony of Germans at Germanna, to whom we have already\nreferred, and a few immigrants from Holland were responsible for its\nearly establishment. First it was known as \"Old Dutch Church.\" Located\non its original site its existence has been in three different counties:\nOrange, Culpeper and now Madison!\nHebron is the oldest Lutheran church not only in Virginia but in the\nSouth. About 1733 the nucleus of the congregation met and sent a\nrepresentative to England for a pastor. It seems a bit surprising that\nno English parson felt the call to tend the flock in an outpost of\nVirginia, but it is true that no one was possessed of the missionary\nspirit to that extent.\nIn 1735 a Hessian who had come to America eight years before, the Rev.\nCasper Stoever, left his home in Pennsylvania and became the first\npastor. His annual salary, by the way, was four thousand pounds of\ntobacco or just about forty dollars in currency. This was paid by the\ncongregation in addition to the taxes which were required of the\nNon-Conformist churches towards the upkeep of the established English\nchurch.\nEveryone in Madison is vastly proud of the old pipe organ at Hebron. It\nwas built in 1800 at Philadelphia and brought to its present place on\nwagon--a journey which took a long time and infinite pains. Jacob and\nMichael Rouse were entrusted with the task of hauling. The organ cost\ntwo hundred pounds sterling. Interesting, too, is the complete old\ncommunion service which dates back to the church's early beginnings.\nIn recent years visiting concert organists have played on the fine old\ninstrument at the request of the congregation.\nHoover's Camp on the Rapidan River\nDuring the administration of former President Hoover a fine camp was\nbuilt on the banks of the Rapidan River in Madison County where the\nChief Executive, his family and friends enjoyed the trout fishing and\nrustic life that the camp afforded. A main lodge was erected for the\nPresident. Guest lodges for the Cabinet members and others were located\nnearby. This retreat is within easy driving distance of the White House\nand was in constant use for week-ends during the summer months. From\nWashington the Presidential parties took route 211 to Warrenton and from\nthere two routes were offered: either a continuation of route 211 to\nSperryville, then south to Criglersville on route 16, or from Warrenton\nto Culpeper to Criglersville.\nBoth Mr. and Mrs. Hoover became very much interested in the life of the\nmountaineers who grew to be their friendly neighbors. You have heard\nthe story, no doubt, of the small unlettered boy who brought a gift to\nthe President and who aroused in him and Mrs. Hoover the desire to see a\nschool built in the neighborhood which would serve a large mountain\narea. An excellent little frame building nestles among the sloping hills\nwhich attracts the children of all ages within a radius of many miles.\nOne part of the building is used for class instruction and the rest for\nliving quarters for the teacher. This school was made possible largely\nthrough the efforts of Mr. and Mrs. Hoover.\nOne may see the school and the entrance to the Rapidan Camp by following\nthe road which leads from Big Meadow, a plateau on the Skyline Drive, to\nCriglersville.\nThe camp is still in use at times. Cabinet members and other government\nofficials enjoy its stream and mountain beauties, but not to the extent\nof former times.\nCharlottesville and Albemarle County\nTHE FATHER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA\nEvery school child knows the outstanding facts about Thomas Jefferson.\nHe will rattle off quickly that he was born near Charlottesville in\nAlbemarle County, in 1743, that he was at William and Mary College when\nonly seventeen and played his fiddle which he had carried as he rode the\nlong miles between Charlottesville and Williamsburg. He graduated there\nand was admitted to the bar. Thomas Jefferson drafted, at the request of\nthe Committee, the Declaration of Independence. He was Governor of\nVirginia during the trying years of the Revolutionary War. We shall not\ngive all the offices which he held, except to mention that he spent some\nyears abroad in France as United States Minister. For almost forty years\nhe served his country, having been President of it from 1801 to 1809.\nIt is from the quaint letters of his granddaughter, Ellenora Randolph,\nthat one may read of the tenderness, the lovable disposition and the\nhuman side of this great American.\nShe was said to be his favorite grandchild and she writes of how she sat\non his knee and played with his huge watch chain. He never went to\nPhiladelphia without bringing her little luxuries which it was\nimpossible to buy in Virginia. He brought her a Bible, a lady's side\nsaddle, a Leghorn hat, and a set of Shakespeare.\n[Illustration:--_Courtesy Virginia Conservation Commission_\n\"MONTICELLO\", NEAR CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA.]\nShe tells how Jefferson's wife had died when his daughters were quite\nyoung and that he had been so kind and sympathetic in \"shaping their\nlives.\"\nThere is an interesting love story here, too, for Ellenora met and fell\nin love with Joseph Coolidge of Boston. He came a-wooing the Virginia\nbeauty, and according to the custom of that day, he wrote Mr. Jefferson\nof his intentions to marry his granddaughter before he proposed to her.\nThe following is Jefferson's reply to Joseph Coolidge:\n     \"MONTICELLO, _October 24, 1824_.\n     \"I avail myself of the first moment of my ability to take up a\n     pen to assure you that nothing would be more welcome to me than\n     the visit proposed and its object.... I assure you no union\n     could give me more satisfaction if your wishes are mutual. Your\n     visit to Monticello and at the time of your convenience will be\n     truly welcome, and your stay, whatever may suit yourself. My\n     gratification will be measured by the time of its\n     continuance....\n     \"I expect in the course of the first or the second week of the\n     approaching month to receive here the visit of my ancient\n     friend, General LaFayette. The delirium which his visit has\n     excited in the North envelopes him in the South also ... and\n     the county of Albemarle will exhibit its great affection and\n     unending means in a dinner given the General in the building of\n     the University, to which they have given accepted invitations\n     to Mr. and Mrs. James Madison and myself as guests; and at\n     which your presence as my guest would give high pleasure to us\n     all, and to name, I assure you more cordially than sincerely\n     your friend;\n                   (Signed) \"THOMAS JEFFERSON.\"\nThe wedding accounts give the names of fifty distinguished Americans who\ncame to pay their respects to Ellenora and her husband. Every\ndistinguished foreigner came in person; besides these, there came many\nof the men who had known and loved Jefferson during all his years of\nservice. Imagine all the horses that had to be fed, all the gigs and\ncoaches and all the Negro servants who had to be quartered. No one is\nsurprised that what the man had accumulated was fast disappearing with\nso much hospitality.\nBut Ellenora had her troubles upon arriving in Boston. Her presents and\nother possessions had been sent by boat and it had sunk! Her letter\ntells of her great distress at losing the trinkets associated with her\nhappy girlhood. But most of all, she expressed her grief upon losing a\nwriting desk which Grandfather Jefferson had had made for her by his\nmaster carpenter, a Negro servant. This was a very talented carver who\nhad faithfully carried out each detailed design which his master had\ngiven him. Now he was old and had grown blind and he could no longer\nmake one. This is Jefferson's letter to his granddaughter--and explains\nhow a most historic desk went a-travelling:\n     \"It has occurred to me that perhaps I can replace it (desk) not\n     indeed to you, but to Mr. Coolidge, by a substitute, not\n     claiming the same value from its decorations but the part it\n     has bourne in our history, and the event with which it has been\n     associated.... Now I happen to possess the writing box on which\n     the Declaration of Independence was written. It was made from a\n     drawing of my own, by Ben Randall, a cabinetmaker in whose\n     house I took lodging on my first arrival in Philadelphia, in\n     May, 1776, and I have had it ever since. It claims no merit of\n     particular beauty. It is plain, neat and convenient and taking\n     no more room on a writing table than a modern quarto volume it\n     displays itself sufficient for any writing. Mr. Coolidge must\n     do me the favor of accepting this. Its imaginary value will\n     increase with the years. If he lives till my age, he may see it\n     carried in the procession of our nation's birthday.\"\nSo this is how the famous desk went to New England and was finally sent\nto the State Department in Washington by the Coolidges in 1876.\nWhen Thomas Jefferson was an old man, he began to carry out his dream,\none which he had had for a long time, to build a university. All his\nlife he had loved to draw plans and he carefully made his own\nblueprints. He drew plans for lovely Monticello when he was twenty-eight\nyears old. His friends came from far and near to get him to draw plans\nfor their homes. Ashlawn, Montpelier and others are monuments to this\nmaster builder. He had his own ideas about educating the young men of\nVirginia. He wanted to see them fitted to be fine citizens by having a\ngood education, for he knew it was through good citizens that a good\ngovernment would be realized. But first he had to educate his friends\nalong this line. Many of them still thought a tutor in the family was\nthe best way. Many did not believe in \"mass education.\" For ten long\nyears he worked to get a bill through the Legislature which called for\nthe establishment of the University of Virginia. At last, in 1825 the\nschool was opened. But many years passed before Jefferson could get the\nbuildings he had dreamed of and had planned. Then when he was\neighty-two, his dream came true.\n[Illustration:--_Courtesy Virginia State Chamber of Commerce_\nROTUNDA OF UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA]\nToday one may see his university, set on a sloping hill. The buildings\nare models of architecture and Jefferson himself superintended the\nconstruction of them. It is told that he often watched the carpenters\nfrom Monticello through a telescope. Jefferson also planned those early\ncourses of study and helped in the selection of the faculty. The spirit\nof Jefferson is still felt there today and each generation of students\nhas been enriched by it and the noble traditions of the school.\nMany famous students have gone there. Edgar Allan Poe wrote \"The Raven\"\nand \"Anabel Lee\" there. An Arctic explorer from the University was\nElisha Kane. Walter Reed studied medicine and, as we know, won the fight\nagainst yellow fever by his heroic experiments. Each year, men go out\nfrom this great old school who help to build a greater country--just as\nJefferson dreamed they would.\nAfter his death on July 4, 1826, someone found a paper on which he had\nwritten these words:\n        \"Here was buried\n        Thomas Jefferson\n    Author of the Declaration of American Independence\n    of the Statute of Virginia for religious freedom\n    and Father of the University of Virginia.\"\nAnd today, one finds his tomb halfway up the hill to Monticello and the\nwords above are cut upon the simple shaft which marks his grave.\nMonticello is open to the public and may be reached by a hard surface\nroad leading out of Charlottesville. Through careful research and\ndiligence the Monticello Memorial Association has brought back to the\nhome much of the fine furnishings which Jefferson himself had collected.\nAt the present time the second and third floors of the mansion are being\nfaithfully restored.\n    JACK JOUETT'S RIDE\n    \"Here goes to thee, Jack Jouett!\n      Lord keep thy memr'y green;\n    You made the greatest ride, sir,\n      That ever yet was seen.\"\nSo reads the last stanza of an inscription on a tablet erected in his\nmemory. But who was Jack Jouett and what of his \"greatest ride?\"\nDuring the stirring days of the American Revolution Thomas Jefferson was\nGovernor of Virginia. Hearing that the British were expected to reach\nRichmond he recommended that the capital of the colony be moved to\nCharlottesville until after danger from the enemy should pass. This was\ndone and Jefferson stayed at his home, Monticello.\nAt Cuckoo Tavern in Louisa County, fifty miles from Charlottesville,\nyoung Jouett was sitting around one night getting the latest news of the\nrebellion, when Tarleton, who commanded a British force, came into the\nplace. Jouett hid from sight and overheard Tarleton talking with several\nother English officers. They said they were impatient to be on their way\nto Monticello to capture Jefferson, Patrick Henry and other Virginia\nleaders. Jack stayed to hear the route they would take to\nCharlottesville and then slipped away on his horse.\nThe famous ride occurred on back roads in order to beat the British to\ntheir destination. He crossed to the main road long enough to tell a\nfamily of Walkers that the British were coming for the Governor. Later\nTarleton drew in at the same home and demanded breakfast from Mrs.\nWalker. Knowing that time meant a great deal to the rider going ahead\nwith the news, she delayed the meal as long as possible.\nAs Jouett climbed the last hill to Monticello he heard the horses of\nTarleton's party in the distance, so he spurred his animal on and in a\nlast-minute sprint he reached the home. The plans were revealed and\nJefferson hurriedly assembled his family. As their carriage left by a\nback road the English came up another and searched in vain for the\nGovernor.\nJouett went from there to Charlottesville to warn the members of the\nlegislature of the impending danger and they fled to Staunton--all but\nseven of the legislators who were overtaken and captured. The story is\ntold of how he saved General Stevens, a member of the Assembly. As they\nrode along, some British soldiers saw them and set their horses at a\ngreat pace. Jack had on a plumed hat which might appear important to the\nsoldiers; he told the general to ride slowly across an open field as if\nhe were the owner out on an inspection tour of his lands. He himself\nwould dash off in the hope of getting the troopers to follow him. The\nplan worked. Jouett finally left the pursuers far behind and later on he\nreturned to his home in Charlottesville.\nMuch later the Virginia legislature passed a resolution commending the\nvalor of Jack Jouett and presented him with a pair of pistols and a\nsword as a mark of appreciation of his service to the State. Swan\nTavern, left him by his father, occupied his time after the war. He died\nin Kentucky where he had moved as an old man.\nLEWIS AND CLARK EXPEDITION\nThomas Jefferson knew the two young men whom he wanted to explore the\ngreat Northwest, for they had been born almost at the foot of\nMonticello. They were Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. Each of them,\nalmost as boys, had been a soldier and each loved adventure.\nMeriwether Lewis had inherited a fortune from his father and he could\nhave settled down to a life of ease. But after eighteen he would not go\nto school any longer. He had fought in the Whiskey Rebellion in\nPennsylvania and then entered the army. He was commissioned captain in\n1800 and served for three years. Then Thomas Jefferson asked him to be\nhis secretary and it was in this office that Jefferson found his\nadmirable qualities.\nWilliam Clark was four years older than his friend Lewis. He was born in\n1770 and was a brother of George Rogers Clark. When he was fourteen\nyears old he went with his family to the Ohio River where his brother\nGeorge had built a fort. There he learned the ways of the Indians and\noften he was in the thick of their raids. He, too, joined the regular\narmy and received his commission when he was only eighteen years old.\nHe went to St. Louis and was commissioned as second lieutenant of the\nartillery and ordered to join the great expedition.\nCaptain Lewis was first in command and he selected his men carefully.\nThere were fourteen soldiers in the little party and two Canadian\nboatmen, an interpreter, a hunter and a Negro servant.\nThomas Jefferson did not give them a lot of orders. The following\ninstructions show his wisdom:\n     \"Treat them (Indians) in the most friendly and concilliating\n     manner which their own conduct will admit; allay all jealousies\n     as to the object of your journey; satisfy them of its\n     innocence; make them acquainted with the position, extent,\n     character, peaceable, and commercial intercourse with them;\n     confer with them on the points most convenient as mutual\n     emporiums and the articles of most desirable interchange for\n     them and us. If a few of their influential chiefs, within\n     practicable distance wish to visit us, arrange such a visit\n     with them, and furnish them with authority to call on our\n     officers on their entering the United States, to have them\n     conveyed to this place at the public expense. If any of them\n     should wish to have some of their people brought up with us and\n     use such arts as may be useful to them, we will receive,\n     instruct, and take care of them.\"\nThe fact that so little trouble was had by the party is due to the skill\nwhich Clark used in handling the Indians. We will not go into the\ndetails of the expedition, for everyone knows what a wonderful, rich\nterritory was gained for the United States by that expedition.\nFredericksburg\nFredericksburg, fifty-five miles south of Washington and about the same\ndistance north of Richmond, Virginia, on Route 1, rightly claims to be\none of the most historic cities in the United States. Visitors who make\na tour of the Valley of Virginia and the Skyline Drive may want to begin\ntheir trip here, for it serves as a hub for long or short visits to\nneighboring places of interest. From Fredericksburg one may drive to\nCulpeper, Sperryville and Panorama and enter the Skyline Drive at that\npoint, or he may wish to go from Fredericksburg to Warrenton and thence\nto the Skyline Drive. Another excellent route is by way of Orange and\nStanardsville and on to Swift Run Gap, the Southern entrance to the\nDrive at the present time.\n[Illustration: \"KENMORE\", THE HOME OF FIELDING LEWIS AND BETTY\nWASHINGTON LEWIS, FREDERICKSBURG, VIRGINIA]\nA splendid trip from this old city is to \"Wakefield,\" the birthplace of\nGeorge Washington, in Westmoreland County, and from there to \"Stratford\nHall,\" the ancestral home of the Lee family and the birthplace of\nGeneral Lee, both in Westmoreland County. About two miles from\nFredericksburg on this route is \"Ferry Farm\" where George Washington\nspent a part of his boyhood.\nIn the city itself there are shrines to famous folks of an earlier\nperiod. The home of Mary Washington, mother of the first President, is\nopen to the public. \"Kenmore,\" former home of Betty Washington Lewis and\nColonel Fielding Lewis is well cared for by an association. Both these\nhomes have good examples of eighteenth century furnishings. The Rising\nSun Tavern was the scene years ago of the Victory Ball after the\nsurrender at Yorktown; it was host to most of the famous men of Virginia\nand neighboring States for years. In the Masonic Lodge are a number of\nrelics of Washington's time and an original Gilbert Stuart portrait of\nthe General. General Hugh Mercer, a noted physician of the Revolution\nhad his apothecary shop in Fredericksburg and the visitor may see it\nupon request. Mary Washington's will is on record at the courthouse\nhere.\nOn Charles Street in Fredericksburg, Virginia, stands a shrine to the\nmemory of James Monroe, who served his country in more public offices\nthan any other American in the history of the United States. This quaint\nstory-and-a-half brick building, which he occupied from 1786 to 1788,\nwas the only private law office in which Monroe practiced his\nprofession. It was built in 1758 and stands in its original state, even\nto the woodwork and mantles of the interior. Only the old brick floor\nand plastering had to be restored. This was accomplished in 1928, when\nthe building was opened to the public as the first shrine to the memory\nof the fifth President. At that time there was placed in it the largest\nnumber of Monroe possessions in existence, handed down for five\ngenerations in straight line to his descendants, who made the shrine\npossible.\n[Illustration: JAMES MONROE'S LAW OFFICE]\nJames Monroe brought his bride, the former Elizabeth Kortright of New\nYork, to Fredericksburg, and in the little shrine are hallowed\nintimate possessions of hers as well as those of her distinguished\nhusband; a wedding slipper, a dainty French fan; two handsome court\ngowns, one of silver brocaded on white satin, the other of cream colored\ntaffeta, richly embroidered with dahlias in natural colors; her bonnet\nand veil in which she welcomed Lafayette on his return to the States in\n1824; her lorgnette, which must have added to the reputation she had for\ndignity; her Astor piano and her silver service marked \"J. M.\"\nOf Monroe's personal possessions there are many. Here too is his court\ndress with its rare old lace, cut-steel buttons and knee breeches, worn\nat Napoleon's court; the quaint huge umbrella presented him by the City\nof Boston on the occasion of Lafayette's return, with its original\ncovering, whale-bone ribs and ivory handle, all contributing to its\nweight of seven and one-half pounds; his mahogany brass-bound dispatch\nbox in which his Louisiana Purchase papers were carried; his\nsilver-mounted duelling pistols, recalling that Monroe came near\nfighting a duel with Alexander Hamilton; and other articles too numerous\nto mention, including interesting historical letters by and to James\nMonroe from the outstanding men of his day.\nPerhaps the outstanding exhibit in the Law Office shrine, however, is\nthe desk on which Monroe signed the message to Congress which formed the\nbasis for the famous Monroe Doctrine. Mahogany, high, brass-bound, this\nhandsome desk forms a part of the furniture bought by the Monroes in\nFrance, brought by them to this country in 1798, and now finally shown\nin the little museum dedicated to their memory. The Monroes, being the\nfirst to move into the rebuilt White House after the original one had\nbeen burned by the British in the War of 1812, and being confronted with\nempty rooms, took with them this lovely furniture. Still later, on\nleaving the White House, the beloved possessions again went with them,\nand it is to this fact that the happy privilege of the public to see\nthese things today can be attributed.\nMore than a hundred years later, a successor of Mrs. Monroe was to\nexpress her patriotism and interest in historical accuracy through\ncataloguing and making inventories of the furnishings of the White\nHouse. This lady, Mrs. Herbert Hoover, in searching the records, learned\nof the Monroe furniture and of its ultimate resting place in the Monroe\nshrine, and asked permission to copy it at Government expense, the\ncopies to be placed in the White House. Permission was gladly given and\ntoday there is a \"Monroe Room\" in the White House, furnished with the\nreproductions of this historic furniture. The originals, however, remain\nin the little museum in Fredericksburg, relics of active, public years\nspent by a great statesman on two continents.\nThe Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park was\nestablished in 1927. Quoting from a booklet which may be secured from\nthe park headquarters we find:\n     \"This park was established ... to commemorate six major battles\n     fought during the great sectional conflict between 1861 and\n     1865--the two Battles of Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville,\n     Salem Church, Wilderness, and Spotsylvania Court House--and to\n     preserve for historical purposes the remains of earthworks,\n     roads, and other sites of importance on these battlefields....\"\nAt the Battle of Chancellorsville General Stonewall Jackson, famous\nConfederate commander, was mortally wounded. A simple shaft marks the\nplace and a wild flower preserve is located near it.\n     \"While the fundamental purpose of the park is historical\n     education, its program is by no means confined to this\n     limitation. It offers important recreational and educational\n     features aside from critical military history. The Jackson\n     Memorial Wild Flower Preserve ... affords excellent instruction\n     in botany.... The deep woodlands of the area threaded with foot\n     trails leading along the old trenches are a delight to lovers\n     of the outdoors....\"\nKenmore--1752\nKenmore, the home of Fielding Lewis and Betty Washington Lewis (George\nWashington's only sister), is an outstanding example of the architecture\nof Colonial Virginia. It is also intimately connected with the stirring\nhistory of Colonial times and with the life of George Washington.\nAugustine Washington, about 1739, moved from Hunting Creek to Ferry\nFarm, across the river from Fredericksburg, with his second wife, Mary\nBall, and their five children--George, Betty, Samuel, John Augustine,\nand Charles--for the sake of community life and the religious and\neducational advantages it offered. Here the children grew up and\nreceived their education--Betty at a \"Dame School,\" George under the\ntutelage of Parson Marye. Betty and George were especially intimate\ncompanions because of their nearness of age and their similarity in\npersonality and character.\nWhen Betty was sixteen, and a \"mannerly young maid,\" her cousin Fielding\nLewis came seeking her hand in marriage. Lewis had come up from\nGloucester three years previously with his wife and son. Mrs. Lewis died\nin 1749. Shortly thereafter, Fielding started courting young Betty. They\nwere married in 1750, the bride being given away by her brother George,\nand for a time they lived on a plantation adjoining Ferry Farm. In 1752\nLewis bought 861 acres of land, adjacent to Fredericksburg, the survey\nbeing made by George Washington, who had been appointed government\nsurveyor in 1748. On this land, with its fine view of the countryside,\nLewis built Kenmore (called Millbrook at the time) in accordance with a\npromise he had made to his bride.\nAs time went on, Fielding Lewis became closely associated with the\npolitical life of Virginia. He was a member of the House of Burgesses\nfor many years. He also served in the French and Indian War and was\nColonel of the Spotsylvania County Militia. It is said that the\nresolution endorsing Patrick Henry in his resistance to the tyranny of\nGovernor Dunmore, passed by the Committee of 600 in the Rising Sun\nTavern in Fredericksburg, was written by him in the Great Room of his\nhome, Kenmore, a paper which for all intents and purposes was a\ndeclaration of independence.\nColonel Lewis was best known for the part he played in the War of\nIndependence. In 1776 he became Chairman of the Virginia Committee of\nSafety. Previously, in 1775, the Virginia Assembly had passed an\nordinance providing for a \"Manufactory of Small Arms in Fredericksburg,\nVirginia.\" Five commissioners were appointed to undertake this project,\nbut Colonel Lewis and Charles Dick were the only two who took an active\npart in the work. They were allotted \u00a32,500 with which to secure land,\nbuildings and equipment. Soon thereafter they were at work\nmanufacturing arms. The first \u00a32,500 were quickly spent, and Lewis and\nDick were obliged to draw from their own funds to carry on. Lewis\nadvanced an additional \u00a37,000 and borrowed \u00a330,000 to \u00a340,000 more.\nLewis also built a ship for the Virginia Navy, _The Dragon_, and\nequipped three regiments. Kenmore was heavily mortgaged to meet the\ncosts of all these patriotic enterprises. When Lewis died in 1781,\nlittle of the estate was left.\nThereafter, Betty Lewis tried conducting a small boarding school at\nKenmore, but again money had to be raised and piece after piece of the\nland was sold to obtain it. Finally, in 1796, the mansion and its\ncontents were sold and Betty Lewis went to live with her daughter. She\ndied the next year.\nAfter many vicissitudes in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries,\nKenmore was saved for posterity, in 1922, through the great enthusiasm\nand hard work of a group of women who later formed the Kenmore\nAssociation. Through the efforts of this association, the exterior and\nthe interiors of Kenmore were expertly restored to their original\ncharming appearance and it has been furnished with original pieces of\nthe period, many of which have an actual connection with the family.\nWho the architect of Kenmore was, is unknown. It is very probable that\nFielding Lewis himself had much to do with the planning of it, making\nuse of books on English architecture. The mansion is typical of the\nformal architecture of Tidewater Virginia in the mid-eighteenth century.\nFlanked on each side by smaller service buildings, both of which are\nidentical in size and appearance, the group is symmetrical around the\ncentral entrance. The exteriors present a picture of fine restraint and\ndignity. Four uniformly placed chimneys in the end walls serve eight\nfireplaces. The windows are well proportioned in relation to the main\nwalls. The walls, of brick laid in Flemish bond, or brickwork pattern,\nare two feet thick--unusually heavy construction for a house of even\nthis size.\nThe principal rooms, of stately proportions, are remarkable for their\ndesign and ornament. The richly modelled ceilings, cornices, and\novermantels are outstanding examples of ornamental plater-work--quite\nunsurpassed by anything of its kind in America. It has always been said\nand never contradicted that these ornamental features were planned by\nGeorge Washington himself.\nTo the right, as one enters the Reception Hall, tinted in pastel\nblue-gray, is the well designed main stairway, a noteworthy feature of\nwhich is the delicately carved lotus leaf ornament. In back is the\nprized grandfather clock which originally belonged to Mary Washington.\nPassing through the arched doorway at the rear of the Hall, one enters\nthe Great Room. For the magnificent ceiling of this room, Colonel Lewis\nemployed the same French decorator whom Washington had employed for the\nornamental ceilings at Mount Vernon. The design motif includes four\nhorns of plenty. Tradition has it that the overmantel in the Great Room\nwas done at a later time than the other decorations by two Hessian\nsoldiers captured at the Battle of Trenton. The design, an adaptation of\n\u00c6sop's fable of the fox, the crow, and the piece of cheese, is supposed\nto have been suggested by George Washington at the request of his\nsister; this particular fable being chosen to teach his nephews to\nbeware of flattery. The rich red of the brocade draperies contrasts with\nthe light green of the walls and the white of the ceiling and mantel. A\ncrystal chandelier of old Waterford glass forms a sparkling accent in\nthe middle of the room. The floor is covered almost entirely with an\nearly eighteenth century Oushak rug. The furniture in this room as well\nas elsewhere generally is American of Chippendale design. Of particular\nnote are two portraits of Fielding, and two of Betty Lewis--all four by\nWollaston.\nThe ceiling of the Library has the four seasons for its decorative motif\nand the overmantel is a design of fruits and flowers. The walls, like\nthose of the Great Room, are tinted a soft green.\n\"The Swan and Crown\" of the Washington crest is carved in the woodwork\nunder the mantel in the Dining Room. The walls are a deep blue-green,\nthe woodwork a lighter matching shade. Draperies are a soft green\nbrocade. The service building on the Dining Room side of the House\ncontains the kitchen.\nOn the second floor are the master bedrooms and guest room where General\nLafayette and many another distinguished visitor stayed. These\neighteenth century rooms, so well treated and furnished, serve as\ntimeless models of good taste in bedrooms.\nNext to Mount Vernon, George Washington was most interested in Kenmore.\nHe had taken a keen interest from the beginning in the building of the\nHouse and the landscaping of the grounds. After the War he set out\nthirteen chestnut trees near the House, one for each of the original\nthirteen States. One of these still lives. Mary Washington, mother of\nGeorge and Betty, lived in the cottage on the estate, not far from the\nMain House; a home her son had provided for her at the beginning of the\nWar.\nThe restoration of the grounds was undertaken by the Garden Club of\nVirginia in 1929 with funds obtained from the public participation in\nthe first \"Virginia Garden Week.\" One feature of this work is the brick\nwall around the premises, built in 1930. The sunken turf driveway is the\noriginal driveway that used to surround a grassy circle. Handsome box\nbushes, ancient and familiar features of Virginia estates, flank the\napproaches to the House now as of old. The gardens, too, contain flowers\nthat Betty Washington must have enjoyed--bushes of lilac, mock orange,\nand bridal wreath and beds of pansies, sweet william, phlox, verbena and\nlilies of the valley.\nKenmore, a background of those lives who helped so importantly to mould\nthe destinies of our nation, vividly portrays the art and the culture of\nits time.\nThe Mary Washington House\nThere stands on the corner of Charles and Lewis Streets in\nFredericksburg, Virginia, an unpretentious but charming little house.\nThere is no spot in America more sacred. It was the home of Mary Ball\nWashington, wife of Augustine Washington, and the mother of George\nWashington.\nIt is recorded that on Dec. 8, 1761 lots 107 and 108 upon which the Mary\nWashington House stands were sold by Fielding Lewis and Betty, his wife,\nwith all houses, trees, woods, under-woods, profits commodities,\nhereditaments and appurtenances whatsoever, to Michael Robinson for\n\u00a3250 and bought by George Washington Sept. 18, 1772 for \u00a3275.\nAfter remodeling and adding to the house, George Washington moved his\nmother from the Ferry Farm, which had been her home since 1739, to\nFredericksburg and it was here that she spent her last days.\n[Illustration: \"THE MARY WASHINGTON HOUSE\", FREDERICKSBURG, VIRGINIA]\nIt was here that she received the courier sent by General Washington to\ntell her of the victory at Trenton. It was here that Washington came\nafter the Battle of Yorktown with the French and American officers and\nshe received him with thanksgiving after an absence of nearly seven\nyears. It was here he came in December, 1783, when Fredericksburg gave\nthe Peace Ball in his honor, and it was at that time that he made his\nmemorable reply to Mayor McWilliams in which he spoke of Fredericksburg\nas \"the place of my growing infancy.\"\nIt was here that the Marquis de LaFayette came to pay his respects to\nher, who was the mother of the greatest American. She received him in\nher garden, met all his fine phrases with dignity and gave him her\nblessing when he bade her goodbye.\nIt was here, March 12, 1789, that Washington came to receive his\nmother's blessing before he went on to New York to his inauguration.\nThis was his last farewell to his mother. She did not not live to see\nhim again. It was here she died Aug. 25, 1789. Town and country\nassembled to do honor at her burial. Her remains lie near the\n\"Meditation Rock\" where she requested to be buried and a stately\nmonument \"erected by her country-women\" marks her last resting place.\nExcept for a portion of the house at Epping Forest, where she was born,\nthe Mary Washington House in Fredericksburg is the only house now\nstanding in which Mary Washington lived.\nIt passed into various hands and finally in 1890 it was about to be sold\nto the Chicago Exposition but through Mrs. Robert C. Beale and Mrs.\nSpotswood W. Carmichael, the Association for the Preservation of\nVirginia Antiquities was appealed to. Mrs. Joseph Bryan of blessed\nmemory was at that time President and from her own means advanced the\nmoney to purchase it, $4,500, and the place was saved.\nIn 1929, through the generosity of Mr. George A. Ball of Muncie, Ind.,\nthe first work of restoration on the house was done. Mr. Ball also\npurchased for the A. P. V. A. the adjoining house and garden for a home\nfor the custodian.\nIn 1930 the house was redecorated and refurnished by Mr. and Mrs.\nFrancis P. Garvan. The original colors have been restored and\ncontemporary fabrics used for all draperies and coverings.\nThe furnishings, with the exception of a few pieces that belonged to\nMary Washington, are authentic antiques loaned from the Mabel Brady\nGarvan Institute of American Arts and Crafts at Yale University. The\noriginal mantels and paneling are interesting.\nThe old English-type garden is especially beautiful. The boxwood she\nplanted still grows there, as well as the flowers of her time. The\noriginal sun-dial still marks the sunny hours.\nRising Sun Tavern\nWas built about 1760 by Charles Washington, a brother of George\nWashington. It was first known as the Washington Tavern and later as the\nEagle Tavern. The following advertisement appeared in the _Virginia\nGazette_, published in Williamsburg in 1776:\n     \"William Smith takes this method to acquaint his friends, and\n     the publick in general, that he intends to open tavern, on\n     Monday the 22nd day of April next, in the house lately occupied\n     by Colonel George Weedon, in the town of Fredericksburg. He has\n     laid in a good stock of liquors, and will use his utmost\n     endeavors to give general satisfaction. N.B. 'A good cook wench\n     wanted, on hire'.\"\n[Illustration: \"RISING SUN TAVERN\", FREDERICKSBURG, VIRGINIA]\nIt was the favorite meeting place of such patriots as Thomas Jefferson,\nPatrick Henry, James Monroe, George Washington, General Hugh Mercer,\nGeorge Mason, John Marshall, the Lees, and other noted men, who gathered\nhere to protest against unjust treatment by the mother country and to\ndiscuss the proper steps to rid the country of tyranny. It was said to\nbe a hot-bed of sedition and that here much of the head work of the\nRevolution was done.\nWhen the news came to Fredericksburg that the governor, Lord Dunmore,\nhad secretly removed twenty barrels of gunpowder from the public\nmagazine in Williamsburg, also the news of the battle of Lexington,\nthere was great excitement and indignation. Immediately six hundred\narmed men from the town and surrounding country, at the call of Patrick\nHenry, assembled in Fredericksburg and offered their services to defend\ntheir country. More than one hundred men were dispatched to Richmond and\nWilliamsburg to ascertain the condition of affairs. They were advised\nthere by Washington, Peyton Randolph, Edmund Pendleton and other leaders\nto disband and delay action at least for a while or until general plans\nof resistance could be decided upon. Returning to Fredericksburg they\ncalled a meeting and reluctantly agreed to disperse, but before doing so\nadopted resolutions bitterly denouncing Dunmore's action, and without\nfear or evasion declared that the troops would preserve their liberty at\nthe hazard of their lives and fortune. They pledged themselves to\nre-assemble at a moment's warning and by force of arms defend the laws\nand rights of this or any other sister colony from unjust invasion, and\nconcluded with the significant words, \"God save the liberties of\nAmerica.\"\nThis was on April 29, 1775, twenty-one days prior to the celebrated\nMecklenburg declaration and more than one year before the great\nDeclaration of Independence of July 4, 1776.\nIt has always been said that this meeting was held at the Rising Sun\nTavern. (Reference: Quinn's _History of Fredericksburg_, Howison's\n_History of Virginia_, Forces' _Archives_, quoted in _William and Mary\nQuarterly_ in October, 1909.)\nBut in addition to giving their attention to the serious questions of\nthe day, could we but raise the curtain of Time we no doubt would\nwitness a gay scene typical of colonial days with courtly gentlemen in\npowdered wigs, knee breeches, ruffled blouses, and silver-buckled\nslippers, or perhaps in the rougher garb of the pioneer traveler playing\ncards and partaking of the various drinks served by a venerable old\nslave and his young negro assistants. It is recorded that George\nWashington played cards here and \"lost as usual,\" and that he was afraid\nthose Fredericksburg fellows were \"too smart for him.\"\nHere General Weedon kept the post office. This was a distributing point\nfor mails coming in from the far north and south on horse-back or\nstage-coach. Picture the eager crowd awaiting the arrival of the slow\ncourier.\nLaFayette and his staff of French and American officers visited the\nRising Sun Tavern Nov. 11, 1781, en route from Yorktown to\nPhiladelphia. In December, 1824, LaFayette again visited Fredericksburg,\nand was given a ball at the Rising Sun Tavern.\nIn 1907 the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities\nbought the property from Judge A. W. Wallace, whose family had owned it\nsince 1792. It was in a very bad state of dilapidation, and only the\nloving interest and hard work of a few patriotic ladies made possible\nthe necessary repairs and saved to posterity this historic old building\nwith its wealth of associations with the people and events which shaped\nour nation.\nThe Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities has\nrecently completed extensive repairs and the visitor will find it one of\nthe most interesting places in the city to visit. It is attractively\nfurnished with antique pieces of the Colonial period, many having great\nhistoric value.\nOne may see a desk owned and used by Thomas Jefferson, a chair which\nbelonged to James Monroe, a rare copy of an autographed letter from Mary\nWashington to her son George Washington, brass andirons, pewter-hooded\ncandles, Betty lamp, immense iron key for a wine cellar, brass\ncandle-sticks, iron candle snuffers, pewter ink-well, antique piano,\nhigh boy, needle-point sampler worked by a nine-year-old child, spinning\nwheel and reel, stage coach sign dated 1775, large early American desk,\nold iron cooking utensils used by slaves cooking by an open fireplace,\nand many other interesting things.\n[Illustration]\nRoanoke\nTHE GATEWAY TO THE GREAT SOUTHWESTERN EMPIRE\nRaw-re-noke is an Indian word for money. The city of Roanoke was\noriginally a land grant to Thomas Tosh, an old settler who came to \"Big\nLick\" and settled there after King George II and King George III had\ngranted him sixteen hundred acres of land along that fertile valley.\n\"Big Lick\" was a favorite spot for the wild game and for the Indians\ntoo, for there they found the salt so necessary to life itself. One of\nTosh's daughters married General Andrew Lewis and became the mother of\nMajor Andrew Lewis and Thomas Lewis.\nLater on, as more settlers came into the valley, quite a village grew up\naround \"Big Lick\" and in 1874 it was incorporated with John Trout as\nMayor. Then in 1881 the village woke up. Saws and hammers were heard\nfrom dawn 'til dusk. The Roanoke Machine Works were being built. Nearby,\nstores and houses were springing up, warehouses and boarding-houses.\nSurveyors were laying off lots and laying out streets. Contractors and\nengineers, artisans and mechanics were coming in every day. The men who\nsold supplies for all of these were indeed busy. The Norfolk and Western\nRailroad had come to Roanoke!\nOld folks can still remember when rabbits ran over the grounds where\nstands the Hotel Roanoke. Small boys picked up Indian arrow-heads where\nnow the beautiful grounds sweep down to the Station itself. They still\ntell how Salem Avenue was once a marsh and was later filled in for the\nfast growing town. Then came the union of the Norfolk and Western and\nthe Shenandoah Valley Railroads. From that day to this, Roanoke has been\nthe \"Magic City.\" It was as if some magic wand had been waved over the\none-time little village. But actually it was due to the industry and\nvision of the city planners who had built for the future. Commercial,\nmanufacturing and industrial activities kept a pace ahead of the fast\ngrowing town. Among the first of these were the American Bridge Works\nand the rolling mills, iron works, West End Furnaces and the Virginia\nBrewing Company.\nLong ago \"Big Lick\" was known to a few. It was situated in the Blue\nRidge Mountains, surrounded by rolling valleys and watered by springs of\ncrystal clear waters. Other streams made it an ideal place for the\nherds of buffalo and elk which roamed up and down the Valley of the\nGreat Spirit. Indians came, too, to hunt them and thousands of smaller\nfur-bearing animals and birds for their feasts.\nWhen the sturdy settlers from Ireland and Scotland came to seek a new\nhome in the wilderness, they chose to follow the Great Road which later\nwas known as the Wilderness Road. This led them along the beautiful\nvalleys and across the mountains; soon tiny cabins, churches and crude\ntaverns were being built.\nNear where Fincastle stands today, there came a man years ago from\nIreland, Thomas King. He had left behind his second wife, Easter, three\nchildren by his first wife, and several younger ones by Easter. He had\ncome to make a home for them in Fincastle County and ran a tavern near\nwhere Roanoke stands today.\nThen Easter wrote him that his oldest son, William, had arrived in\nPhiladelphia and was working for a merchant. He was peddling merchandise\nand liked the new country.\nThomas was delighted and eager to see his fourteen-year-old son. He\nsaddled his own horse and led a pony all the miles down the long Valley\ntrail. He passed such settlements as Staunton, Lexington, Winchester,\nHagerstown, camping out or, stopping at some settler's house over-night.\nIt took weeks for him to make the long trip.\nThe merchant in the meantime realized he had a smart salesman in William\nand he made a bargain with him a few days before his father arrived. He\nasked him not to work for anyone else and set a time limit for his\nemployment with him.\nWe can imagine how William felt when his father came, bringing a pony\nfor him to ride back to Virginia. But he kept his word. He continued to\ngo out with his peddler's pack on his back and his bright smile and\npolite manners helped him to sell his wares long before others sold\ntheirs. The merchant told him he could go peddling to Virginia and that\nhe could leave some of his articles in his father's tavern. William did\nthis, leaving them at other taverns along the Great Road, too. And thus\nbegan the early chain stores.\nWhen the pioneers began going on farther down the Southwestern part of\nVirginia, Thomas King went as far as where Abingdon stands today. He\nsent William back to Ireland for his step-mother and his brothers and\nsisters. William now had a little money and he inherited some from his\ngrandmother, so he not only brought his family over, but he paid for\nseveral other Scotch-Irish and charged a little extra as interest until\nthey could repay him.\nHe liked the people and the lovely country around Abingdon and bought\nland and built himself a home there. He went to see the salt marsh a few\nmiles away where Saltville is now. This land was owned by General\nRussell. William urged him to develop the marsh, for at one time Indians\nhad come there to get salt to preserve their game. But General Russell\ndid not think much of the plan, and agreed to sell it to William.\nThe story of how he laughed, along with others, at William King when he\ndug and dug and did not find the salt spring is often told. But when\nWilliam's men had dug for one hundred and ninety feet the \"bottom\ndropped out\" and the salt water gushed forth. William made thirty\nthousand dollars a year out of his salt business and left a fortune to\nhis many nieces and nephews.\nRoanoke is the gateway through which the visitor continues down the\nfamous Valley Pike, Route Eleven. From every curve in the road one sees\nthe beauty of nature. One learns bits of early history from the numerous\nhistoric signs along the route--for every footstep of the brave pioneers\nwas bitterly contested from here on.\nThese first settlers were \"a remarkable race of people for intelligence,\nenterprise and hardy adventure.\" They had come partly from Botetourt,\nAugusta and Frederick counties and from Maryland and Pennsylvania. They\nwanted liberty and freedom to worship God as a man's conscience\ndictated. They were a strong, stern people, simple in their habits of\nlife, God-fearing in their practices, freedom-loving and good neighbors,\nyet unmerciful in their dealing with their enemies. Who were the trail\nblazers for these Scotch-Irish and Germans?\nDr. Thomas Walker qualified as a surveyor of Augusta County in 1748. He\nlater set off with Colonel James Wood, Colonel James Patton, Colonel\nJohn Buchanan, and Major Charles Campbell, some hunters and John Finlay\nto explore southwest Virginia.\nThey were followed as far as New River by Thomas Ingles (or Engles) and\nhis three sons, a Mrs. Draper and her son George and her daughter Mary,\nAdam Harman, Henry Leonard and James Burke. They were pioneers in search\nof new homes in the wilderness. Lands were surveyed for all of them on\nWood's River and they made the first settlement west of the Alleghany\nDivide.\nDraper's Meadow\nIn 1748 Thomas Ingles and his three sons, Mrs. Draper, her children and\nJames Burke moved westward to find a new home for themselves beyond the\nBlue Ridge Mountains. They chose a lovely spot on a high level plateau\nin what is now Montgomery County. They called their new home, \"Draper's\nMeadow,\" and soon their new log cabins were built and their first crops\nwere planted and such a harvest as they reaped that first year! Other\nneighbors and relatives from their old homes came to join them and for\nsome time all went well in the little settlement. James Burke had been\nrestless and had pushed on down into the southwest and settled in a\nvalley enclosed for almost ten miles by the huge Clinch Mountain. This\nhe called \"Burke's Garden\" and in telling others about it the old\nsettler said \"I have indeed found the Garden of Eden.\"\nThe Indians were very friendly and passed and repassed the settlement\nwithout molesting them.\nThen came the trouble with the French which has been referred to before.\nThe Indians swooped down upon Draper's Meadow without warning and killed\nor wounded most of the settlers. Those whom they did not murder, they\ncarried off into captivity. Among the latter were Mrs. William Ingles\n(n\u00e9e Mary Draper) some of her children and another woman. They were\nforced to march for days at a time until they finally reached the Indian\ntowns on the Ohio River. During the trying days, Mrs. Draper did her\nbest to keep in the good graces of the Indians. She tried to help them,\neven after they took her sons from her. When they reached Big Bone Lick\nshe helped to make salt for the Indians and made shirts for them from\ncloth which had been bought from the French traders.\nShe often thought of her home over seven hundred miles from the Indian\ntowns and determined to make her escape. She confided her resolves to\nthe other woman who at first objected to going. At last she convinced\nher the time was at hand, if ever, for them to leave. She left her\ninfant son one night, and with her friend, stole away from the camp.\nThey lived for days on berries and nuts. They finally killed small game\nand after many adventures reached the home of a settler forty long days\nlater.\nMrs. Draper's friend lost her mind, tried to kill her and then left her.\nMrs. Draper reached the homestead of Adam Harmon on New River. There he\nheard her crying in his cornfield and went out to see who it was in such\ndistress. He and his family cared for her and made her rest before she\nwas taken back to her family.\nThe Ingles families moved up higher on New River and built another fort\nnear the present city of Radford, Virginia. This was at Ingle's Ferry.\nBotetourt County was cut from Albemarle in 1770, and William Preston was\nmade surveyor of the lands. This was a well-paying position. He had\nfallen in love with Miss Susannah Smith who lived in Eastern Virginia in\nHanover County. He built a house for her and called it Smithfield in her\nhonor. Soon the Pattons, Peytons, Prestons, the Thompsons and many\nothers were coming to build homes near them.\nWhen the Prestons moved to Smithfield they took a young orphan boy with\nthem, Joseph Cloyd. His father had died when he was very little and his\nmother had been killed by the Indians. He grew up with the other pioneer\nboys and girls and later settled on Back Creek. This home is near where\nPulaski stands today and thus began another settlement. He was the\nfather of General Gordon Cloyd and they founded a long line of honorable\ncitizens in our country.\nAs one goes on he hears many strange tales of other explorers and\nsettlers. For instance there is the sad story of Colonel John Chiswell\nwho found rich lead mines near New River in what is now Wythe County.\nFor some unknown reason, he had killed a man in a personal encounter and\nwas put in jail to await trial.\n[Illustration:--_Courtesy Virginia State Chamber of Commerce_\nSCENIC HIGHWAY IN SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA]\nIn the meantime, the Virginia Council decided to develop the mines and a\nfort was ordered to be built. Before the trial came off and before the\nfort was built, Colonel Chiswell died.\nColonel William Boyd was made supervisor of the building of the fort and\nhe named it for his friend, Colonel Chiswell. Soon settlers began\nbuilding homes around it, for the climate and rich grazing lands made it\nan ideal spot for homesteads.\nThe settlers pushing southwest from Roanoke built a fort and named it\nfor a Mr. Vass. The Indians attacked them and several were killed. This\nwas near where Christiansburg is now located. It was near Vass's Fort\nthat General Washington, Major Andrew Lewis and Captain William Preston\nhad a narrow escape from an attack by the Indians.\nWashington County\nIn 1754 only six families were living in the early settlement west of\nNew River. Two of these were in Pulaski, two on Cripple Creek in Wythe\nCounty, one in Smyth County and the Burke family in what is now Tazewell\nCounty. The Indians gave the settlers so much trouble that any further\nattempts to settle was given up until after the French and Indian War.\nA small fort, called Black's Fort, was built when the settlers moved\ninto the Valley around where Abingdon stands. Like most of its kind, it\nwas built of logs, and a few log cabins were built within the stockade.\nHere to these cabins within the fort came the settlers whenever the\nwarning reached them that the Indians were coming.\nNear the fort lived Parson Cummings, called the Fighting Parson. He was\nan Irishman who had come to the Valley from Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He\nfought against the Cherokee Indians in 1776 with Colonel Christian. He\nfirst settled in Fincastle, but soon drifted farther south. It was he\nwho drafted the Fincastle Resolutions on January 20, 1775 and served on\nthe Committee of Safety for Washington County.\nOn one occasion, when the settlers were residing within the fort, food\nbecame very scarce. Someone had to go back into the clearing and bring\nin supplies. Parson Cummings and a few other men started off with a\nwagon to get them. They had not gone far when they reached Piper's Hill.\nA party of Indians surprised the little band and one of them was killed.\nEveryone made a dash for the bushes. The Parson was very stout and he\nwas wearing a large powdered wig which was considered in those days\nnecessary to the cloth. This made him more conspicuous and of course a\ntarget for the Indians.\nOne Indian ran after him, brandishing his tomahawk. The Parson dodged\nunder a bush and as he left it, his wig was caught by a low hanging\nlimb. The Indian took for granted that it was the Parson's head and made\na bound to get it. When he took it in his hands, he was surprised to\nfind no head there! He was disgusted and angry and threw it upon the\nground exclaiming, \"D--d lie,\" and doggedly gave up the chase. And thus\nthe Parson escaped. The man who was killed was later buried in Abingdon\nand one may read his name, \"William Creswell, July 4, 1776\" on the crude\nstone which marks his grave.\nDragon Canone was the name of the Cherokee Indian who led his warriors\nagainst the white militia. Both white and red men fought with tomahawks\nand both hid behind trees. Sometimes this brave militia went forth to\nbattle without any higher commanding officer than captain. Three such\nofficers were John Campbell, James Shelby and James Thompson.\nLet us look for a moment at what those settlers were denied. They did\nnot have flour or salt until an order was made:\n     \"Jan. 29, 1777. Ordered that William Campbell, William\n     Edmundson, John Anderson and George Blackburn be appointed\n     commissioners to hire wagons to bring up the county salt,\n     allotted by the Governor and council, and to receive and\n     distribute the same agreeably to said order of the council.\"\nLater on Colonel Arthur Campbell rode with seven hundred mounted\nsoldiers against the Cherokees. History gives him the credit of being\nthe first to experiment in attacking Indians on horseback. He destroyed\nfourteen of their towns and burnt fifty thousand bushels of their corn\nafter giving his men enough for their own horses.\nHungry Mother State Park\nThe pathetic legend is told of the pioneer woman in Tazewell County who\nwas carried off by the Indians and was massacred some distance from\nhome. Her small child was left to die of exposure and starvation in the\nmountain wilds and was at last rescued by a hunting party. The child was\npulling at the mother's body, trying to rouse her and was muttering,\n\"Hungry, mother--hungry, mother\" when he was found.\nThat is the origin of the name of the mountain which is not far from\nMarion, and the peak of the mountain is called \"Molly's Knob\" in memory\nof the pioneer mother.\nThe State has created a beautiful park on Hungry Mother Mountain. Cabins\nhave been erected to house the visitors, a stream has been dammed up to\nprovide a lake--and most astonishing of all to the mountain folk who\nenjoy their park is the sandy beach. The sand was hauled 375 miles from\nVirginia Beach to its present location.\nSwimming, sailing and canoeing are popular water sports; saddle horses\nare available and hiking is a favorite occupation. Ample picnic grounds\nhave been provided. Crowds from nearby towns enjoy a day at the Park and\nthe cabins are in great demand from the vacationists in Virginia and\nsurrounding States.\nWhite Top\nIron Mountain has lost that name and today is known far and near as\nWhite Top. The visitor looks down five thousand feet below and can see\ninto Tennessee, West Virginia, North Carolina and Kentucky. The top is\nbald, rocky and about three hundred of its sloping acres are covered\nwith a fine white grass. In summer one sees hundreds of wild flowers,\nsturdy evergreens, similar to Norway spruce, called Lashhorns, berries\nand many small animals.\n[Illustration:--_Courtesy Virginia Conservation Commission_\nHUNGRY MOTHER STATE PARK]\nWilbur Waters, the hermit, is one of the most colorful characters in the\ngreat Southwest and many adventures he had with wild animals. Wilbur's\nmother was an Indian who died when he was very small. His father, who\nlived in North Carolina at the time, apprenticed the boy to a shoemaker\nto learn that trade. The little boy, no doubt homesick, could not stand\nhis new home. He ran away and from that time on made his own living.\nWhen he heard how the wolves were making havoc for the settlers in and\naround Abingdon, he came to get the rewards offered for their heads. He\nbuilt himself a rude shack on White Top, and if one would read real\nadventure tales, let him read _Wilbur Waters_ which relates many\nstirring ones.\nEvery summer during August a festival is held at White Top where\nmountain music is played and folk dances are held. John Powell, the\nnoted Virginia composer, is especially active in the preservation of\nfolk music and he has been instrumental in attracting people of\ninfluence to the celebration.\nThe major highways lead to within a comparatively short distance of\nWhite Top and the State Highway Department assures the traveler of good\nsecondary roads which are passable in any kind of weather.\nAnother feature of the festival usually is the presentation of at least\none play by the group of Broadway players who summer at Abingdon and\nconduct the famous \"Barter Theatre.\"\nVisitors who include White Top and the Barter players in their itinerary\nwill be delighted with the diversified entertainments found there.\nTranscriber's Note.\nThe following typographical errors have been corrected:\n    p. 2   a brace of deer ran familiarly [had 'familarly']\n    p. 24  the Reverend Samuel Brown [had 'Reverened']\n    p. 31  the Blue Ridge and the Alleghany [had 'Alleghaney']\n    p. 47  been made into a poultice [had 'poultrice']\n    p. 49  wagon makers?

In the case of\nparticular flies, others have frequently observed that the imitations\ngenerally used were inaccurate. The imitation of the Alder-fly has\nperhaps been most treated in this way, but it is not alone. One\ninstance, however, of inaccuracies in imitations of natural flies having\nbeen observed, will I hope not be trespassing too much upon my reader's\npatience.\nBlaine, in his _Encyclop\u00e6dia of Rural Sports_ published in 1840, says\nwhen speaking of the Cow-dung fly:--\"By some extraordinary mistake\nBowlker describes this fly as having upright wings; and as many of the\nLondon fly-makers dress their flies by his directions, we need not\nwonder that they are often bought with their wings unnaturally glaring\noutwards.\"\nWhat I have tried to do, is to work out and bring down to a definite\nrule the position in which the wings of the imitations of the various\nkinds of flies should be placed.\nMy reader therefore must not hope in this first part to meet with many\nimitations of creatures that have not been imitated before; but if he\nfinds that the manner in which the flies are dealt with as a whole is\nany step forward, be it ever so small, I shall be satisfied in having\nattained the object at which I aim.\nMy reader may be surprised at the order in which I have arranged the\nvarious flies; but it was necessary, or at any rate very much more\nconvenient, to arrange them in the way I have, as entomological accuracy\nof arrangement in a work on fishing must not be the first consideration\nof the author. That the wings of the Alder and the Caddis flies are in\npractically the same position in relation to their bodies, was my reason\nfor placing the descriptions of these flies next each other, and this\ninstance is sufficient to suggest to those of my readers who are\nentomologists, reasons for the other cases in which I have not placed\nthe descriptions of the various flies in their correct sequence.\nA disclaimer must also be my preface to the second part of my work, for\nI know that I am far from being the first in thinking that the wet fly\nof the fisherman is not taken by the fish for the natural fly it is\nsupposed to represent.\nHere my hope is that my reader will find a definite theory which is\nsufficiently plausible to interest him, at least for the moment.\nI have to acknowledge the kind assistance of Dr. G. A. Buckmaster,\nLecturer on Physiology at St. George's Hospital, of Mr. Ernest E.\nAusten, of the British Museum (Natural History), and of several other\ngentlemen.\nI must also thank the Editor of _Land and Water_ for allowing me to\nrepublish an article in the first part of my book, and the Editor of\n_The Field_ for a similar permission with regard to certain articles\nwhich appear in the second part.\nMrs. J. R. Richardson, of Kingston-on-Thames, has also given me some\nhints as to improvements in the dressing of some of the flies described.\nCHARLES WALKER.\nCONTENTS\n  PART I\n  _DRY FLIES_\n  CHAPTER II\n  CHAPTER III\n      HOW TO DRESS FLIES WITH THE WINGS IN THE NATURAL POSITION       29\n  CHAPTER IV\n  CHAPTER V\n  CHAPTER VI\n  CHAPTER VII\n  CHAPTER VIII\n  CHAPTER IX\n  PART II\n  _WET FLIES_\n  CHAPTER I\n  CHAPTER II\n  CHAPTER III\nOLD FLIES IN NEW DRESSES\nPART I\n_DRY FLIES_\nCHAPTER I\nIntroductory\nThough it would not be true to say that hitherto writers on fly-dressing\nhave shown any lack of power of observation, still it is unfortunately\ntrue that their energy seems, strangely enough, to have stopped short at\nobserving the natural fly, and has not been sufficient to carry them on\nto making even passable imitations, except of Ephemerid\u00e6. With the\nexception of this family of flies, no one could possibly recognise the\nartificial through knowing the natural fly which it is supposed to\nrepresent. Yet the fisherman who knows the natural fly well by sight\nwill go on using these imitations year after year unquestioningly; and\nthough he himself would certainly not have known, unless he had been\ntold, what natural fly the imitation he is using is meant to represent,\nhe expects the trout to do so at once.\nThere has been much discussion recently as to whether trout have the\npower of discriminating between different colours, but no one has ever\ncast a doubt on their power of discriminating between different shapes;\nyet in most of these imitations it is not the colour that is wrong, but\nthe shape. The wings of a fly undoubtedly play a most important part in\nforming the outline, and consequently the general appearance of the fly.\nTherefore, if they are not put in the natural position, the whole\ncontour of the imitation must be entirely different from that of the\nnatural fly.\nIt seems, however, judging by the standard works on the subject, that\nthere is practically but one recognised position for the wings of the\nartificial fly, as the difference between the position of divided wings\nand wings dressed flat together is, after all, but slight. No one seems\nyet to have realised the fact that the wings of a May-fly do not lie in\nthe same relative position to the body as do those of the Blue-bottle,\nwhilst in the case of the Alder there is a further marked distinction\nfrom both.\nThe wings, in the different families of flies upon which trout and\ngrayling feed, lie when at rest in three distinct positions in relation\nto their bodies.\nIn the Ephemerid\u00e6 they lie in planes approaching the vertical, slightly\ndiverging from each other towards their extremities. Fig. 1 gives a\nsketch of one of the Ephemerid\u00e6, and Fig. 2 a transverse section through\nthe line [alpha] [beta] of Fig. 1. These drawings show the relation of\nthe wings to the body. All flies have so far been treated by writers on\nfly-dressing as though their wings were in this position.\nIn the Caddis-flies (_Trichoptera_) and the Alder-fly (_Sialis lutaria_)\nthe wings lie on each side of the body, meeting at their upper edges in\nfront, gradually diverging towards their lower edges and posterior\nextremities.\nFig. 3 gives a sketch of an Alder, and Fig. 4 a transverse section\nthrough the fly, showing the position of the wings.\nIn the Diptera (Blue-bottle, Cow-dung, &c.), and Perlid\u00e6 (Stone-fly,\nYellow Sally, &c.), the wings lie in a horizontal plane. In some Diptera\nthe wings diverge from each other towards their extremities, as in the\nBlue-bottle, shown in Figs. 5 and 6. In some other Diptera and in the\nPerlid\u00e6, the wings lie over each other, as shown in Figs. 7 and 8. It\nwill be seen that the wings in both these cases lie in a horizontal\nplane.\nIn Figs. 2, 4, 6 and 8 [beta] represents the section of the body,\n[alpha] and [gamma] the section of the wings.\nI wish it to be thoroughly understood that these positions are the\npositions of the wings of the natural fly _when at rest_.\nMany flies when they fall on the water buzz round in circles\nperiodically, apparently with the object of disengaging themselves from\nthe surface. Between these efforts, however, their wings generally\nassume the normal position of rest. The only way to imitate the fly when\nit is buzzing is by dressing it without wings, and with extra hackle;\nand this is, after all, but a poor imitation. In most cases it is better\nto imitate the wings at rest; and if this is done accurately, it will\npresent to the trout an accurate imitation of the natural fly as it\nappears to him when not trying to raise itself from the water.\n[Illustration:\nSketches and diagrams showing the relative positions of the wings to the\nbody in the various natural flies. Figs. 2, 4, 6 and 8 show sections\nthrough [alpha][beta] in Figs. 1, 3, 5 and 7. In Figs. 2, 4, 6 and 8\n[alpha] = anterior wings; [beta] = body; [gamma] = posterior wings.]\nI have on many occasions watched the behaviour of an Alder when it has\nfallen on the water. At first it moves its wings rapidly, but soon\nstops, to begin again, however, when it has rested. This is repeated\ntime after time, but after each succeeding struggle, the interval of\nrest becomes longer. In many cases, however, the fly hardly struggles at\nall.\nIn observing many other flies which had fallen on the water, I have seen\nthe same sequence of events occur, though some flies struggle to raise\nthemselves from the surface much more than others, as in the case of the\nBlue-bottle.\nThe first trial that I made of a fly dressed with the wings in the\nnatural position was with an Alder. To make this trial complete, I\npurchased some Alders, dressed according to the most approved patterns,\nfrom three well-known firms of tackle makers. When I got to the\nwater-side the trout were rising freely, and the banks were literally\nswarming with Alders. I saw a trout take one which had fallen on the\nwater, so it was evident that the Alder was the fly to use. I began with\nthe flies I had purchased, and cast over a trout which was rising under\na tree. He would not look at it, and the same happened with the flies of\nthe other two makers when I cast over two other trout. I then tried one\nof my own, and got a fish at once. He did not take it in a half-hearted\nmanner, but was hooked right in the back of the tongue. I then tried the\nother flies again without success. When, however, I went back to my own\nfly I hooked the first fish I cast over.\nImitations of other flies made with the wings in the natural position\nhave served me as well as did my imitation of the Alder, though I was\nnot inclined to try the ordinary patterns so freely on every occasion as\nI was at the first trial. I have, however, several times caught a rising\nfish on one of my imitations when he had refused the ordinary imitation\nnot two minutes before.\nMy reader will of course think that these experiments, being carried\nout by myself, are hardly a conclusive proof of my theory, as, however\nimpartial I might wish and believe myself to be, I must be naturally\nbiased in my own favour. I quite realise that this is a natural doubt,\nbut fortunately others besides myself have tried my flies.\nMr. Herbert Ash put them to an even more severe test than I did myself,\nand has kindly permitted me to give his experience. I give an extract\nfrom a letter written by him and published in _Land and Water_ on\nOctober 23rd, 1897, as I think it is a very pertinent testimonial to the\npractical success of my theory.\n\"I put up a cast of three Alders, two being the shop-tied patterns which\nI usually used, and the third, which I put on as a first dropper, being\nMr. Walker's. I landed eight trout in about an hour and a half, and each\nof those fish took Mr. Walker's fly.\"\n\"Now, although I used three flies, I was fishing up stream and dry, my\nobject being to test the new mode of tying the Alder, and I found that\nwhile the fish rose boldly at the first dropper, not one took any\nnotice of the other flies.\"\nColonel Walker also had much greater success with flies dressed with the\nwings in the natural position than with any others. In fact, for several\nconsecutive days, on different occasions he caught no fish except with\nmy flies, though he did not use them more than flies dressed in the\nordinary way.\nSeveral other fishermen have told me that their experiments with my\nimitations have produced similar results.\nMr. H. H. Brown, of the Piscatorial Society, after I had read a paper to\nthat Society on my theory of the right way to dress trout flies,\ndescribed a very interesting experience which he had one day when out\nfishing, and which bears directly on this theory. While out fishing some\ntime ago, he rested on a bridge over the river in which he was fishing.\nThere were a great number of Alders about, and on observing some fish in\nthe water some little distance below the bridge, he caught some Alders,\npinched their heads slightly in order to either kill them outright or\nat any rate stop them struggling, and threw them on the water. He was in\nsuch a position that he could observe each fly individually until it\neither floated past or was taken by the fish. What he observed was, that\nwhen in killing the fly he had disturbed the natural position of the\nwings, not one of the fish would look at it; while, if the wings\nremained in the normal position of rest, the fly was always taken. This\noccurred time after time, and not once was the fly with the wings in an\nunnatural position taken, but, on the other hand, not a single fly with\nits wings in the natural position of rest was allowed to pass. He also\nobserved that once or twice the fish came up to look at a fly whose\nwings had been disarranged, but on getting close to it they always drew\nback.\nThis is, I think, an extremely strong argument in favour of my theory.\nI do not propose in this work to deal with Ephemerid\u00e6, as the wings in\nthe imitations now sold are in the natural position. The families I do\npropose dealing with are the Sialid\u00e6, Trichoptera, Diptera, and\nPerlid\u00e6, as no one has yet, to my knowledge, described the position in\nwhich the wings of the imitations of these flies should be put.\nCHAPTER II\nCOLOUR PERCEPTION IN FISH\n(_Rewritten from \"Land and Water,\" November 6, 1897_)\nMany interesting problems constantly come before the fisherman, but\ncertainly one of the most interesting which has recently attracted his\nattention is Sir Herbert Maxwell's theory on the power of fish to\ndiscriminate between various colours.\nHis theory is, that though fish can undoubtedly discriminate between\ndifferent shades of light and dark, they cannot distinguish one colour\nfrom another. The only conclusion that can be drawn from this theory is\nthe conclusion at which Sir Herbert Maxwell has apparently arrived. This\nis, that if the same relations of light and shade be maintained in the\nartificial which exist in the natural fly, the colour of the imitation\nis quite immaterial.\nThe facts upon which he based this theory were (1) that during the\nMay-fly season he used several artificial May-flies, some of which were\ncoloured scarlet, some bright blue, and some coloured to imitate the\nnatural fly, all of them being similarly graduated with regard to the\nshade of their various component parts; (2) that he caught trout with\nall these flies, no particular one of them being decidedly more\nsuccessful than the others.\nThis experience of his no doubt would at first strike one as being very\nstrongly in favour of his theory; but on going deeply into the matter,\nits bearing on the fish's powers of vision is not so great as it\nappears.\nTo begin with, we must consider whether, judging from experience in the\npast, trout have been known to rise at things on the water which were\nnot only unlike in colour to any flies on the water, but also unlike\nthem in shape and gradations of shade. This we know they will sometimes\ndo. I have on several occasions seen a trout which refused a fairly\naccurate imitation of the flies which were on the water rise at and take\nbelow the surface a swan's feather. There are also many other much more\nextraordinary but similar cases on record. Thus, the fact that these\ntrout took an abnormally coloured fly is not a conclusive proof that\nthey mistook it for the natural fly, particularly as this experiment was\nmade during the May-fly season, when the trout sometimes appear to be\nquite mad, but are at any rate always much less shy than at any other\ntime of the year.\nThe experiment, too, was made upon a private water, and I think that\nthere is great doubt that the same result would have occurred had it\nbeen made upon a well-fished water where the trout were more shy and\nbetter educated.\nWe must then consider whether, in what we know of the natural history of\nfish, there are any facts which point towards the probability of their\nbeing able to discriminate between different colours. Here we find that\nthere are cases in which in certain species the males are more\nbrilliantly coloured than the females, either at the spawning season or\nalways. This is probably a process in evolution which tends to make them\nmore attractive to the female. We also know that fish sometimes assume a\ncolour similar to their surroundings. This colour is, no doubt, evolved\nfor their protection from enemies, and surely a very large proportion of\nthese enemies are other and larger fish. Many of the larv\u00e6 of water\ninsects and other creatures upon which fish feed are also coloured\naccording to their surroundings, in order to facilitate their\nconcealment. These facts would naturally lead us to come to a conclusion\nopposed to that of Sir Herbert Maxwell, as the probabilities all point\ntowards the power of fish to discern various colours.\nAnother very important point is the structure of the fish's eye in\ncomparison with that of man, who we know has the power of discriminating\nbetween colours. This power is, in the human eye, probably situated in\nthe layer of rods and cones of the retina. Had the fish's retina not\ncontained this layer, as is stated by Sir Herbert Maxwell, there would\ncertainly have been most excellent grounds for supposing that his theory\nwas true; but this layer _is_ contained in the fish's eye, though it is\nnot the same as in man. If the fish's eye did not contain it, fish would\nhave been totally blind.\nHow far this difference in the retina of the fish bears on its sense of\ncolour is, at present, a moot point, though I believe researches are\nbeing made in this direction. At present, our knowledge is too limited\nwith regard to it for any definite statement to be made. The probability\nis, that fish have the power of distinguishing colour from colour. A\nprobability, however, is not a certainty, though one is more inclined\ntowards it than towards an improbability.\nEven should Sir Herbert Maxwell's theory prove true, in spite of\nprobabilities to the contrary, I do not see that we should have\nprogressed very much further with regard to facilities in imitating the\nnatural fly. We know that the relative values of light and shade in\nvarious colours contiguous to each other, is not actually the same as\nthe impression conveyed to our eyes. We have an example of this always\nwith us in the photograph, where red and blue, in relation to each\nother, certainly do not produce the same effects on the plate as they do\non the eye; and as we have no accurate knowledge as to the effect of\ncontiguous colours upon a normally monochromatic eye, we could hardly be\ncertain of producing an accurate monochromatic imitation of a\nmulti-coloured object, which would deceive that eye.\nThe case of a colour-blind human being is certainly not a normal case,\nso the shade value of the various colours to this eye could hardly be\ntaken as a safe standard.\nEven if we assumed that all these difficulties had been surmounted, and\nthat the exact relative shade values to this monochromatic eye of every\ncolour were estimated, I think that there can be no doubt that it would\nbe easier to imitate the colours, with the various shades in these\ncolours, than to calculate out the relative shade values of the\ndifferent colours, in one particular colour, and that the result of the\nformer and easier, would be much more likely to be accurate than the\nlatter and more difficult attempt.\nBesides this, possibly, as the eyes of some families of fish are more\nhighly developed than those of others, the relative shade values of\ncolour might be different to the different families, so that if we\neliminate colours from our lures, we must have different shading for\ndifferent fish.\nHaving considered all these things carefully, I have come to the\nconclusion that it will be much safer and easier to keep on using\ncolours in our imitations, even if we do present these imitations to a\nmonochromatic eye.\nSince writing the above article, I have been able to collect some\nfurther information with regard to the probable power of the trout's eye\nto discriminate between colours.\nThese researches, though I have not yet had time to carry them as far as\nI had hoped, have led me to believe more firmly than ever that I am\nright in recommending the use of colours in our imitation flies. I have\nprepared some sections of the retina of the trout, and examined them\ncarefully in comparison with the retin\u00e6 of several other fish. A short\naccount of what is known at present of colour-vision is, I think,\nadvisable to make my meaning clear to those of my readers who may not be\nsufficiently well versed in this particular subject.\nThe sensation of an individual colour is produced by rays of light of a\nparticular wave-length falling upon the retina. A sensation of \"white\"\nis produced by rays containing all the wave-lengths which are able to\naffect it. When, on looking at an object, we find that neither a colour\nnor white sensation is produced, this sensation is called \"black.\"\nThe white sensation may be mixed with the sensation of any colour of the\nspectrum, as also may the sensation of black, and when these two are\nmixed they produce a sensation of \"grey.\" Some colours of the spectrum\nare probably produced by a mixture of various wave-lengths of different\nprimary colours, and many colours in nature do not exist in the\nspectrum.\nThe word \"tone\" expresses variations of wave-lengths within a named\ncolour, and \"brightness\" is used to indicate the intensity of the\nsensation produced upon the retina.\nThe enormous difficulty of working out into a monochrome the\nshade-values of a collection of colours, with several tones and shades\nof brightness in each of the variously coloured parts of the object we\nwish to imitate, can be imagined on considering these facts only; but\nthere are more facts which lead me to believe that to do this is not\nonly difficult, but impossible.\nTwo theories have been propounded to explain the sensation of colour\nproduced upon the retina.\nThe Young-Helmholtz theory teaches that there are three primary\nsensations--red, green, and violet. Other colours are a mixture of these\nsensations; white is produced when all three sensations are excited\ntogether, and black is an absence of sensation.\nHering's theory is that there are six primary sensations arranged in\nthree pairs--white and black, red and green, and yellow and blue. He\nassumes the existence of three visual substances which undergo metabolic\nchanges when subjected to the action of light. These are the red-green,\nthe yellow-blue, and the white-black substances. The white-black\nsubstance is influenced by all the rays of the spectrum, while the\nred-green and yellow-blue substances are differently influenced by rays\nof different wave-lengths. When all the rays together fall upon the\nretina, no metabolism takes place in the red-green and yellow-blue\nsubstances, but only the white-black substance is affected. Thus the\nwhite-black substance is the most active.\nAny discussion as to the relative value of these theories would in this\nwork be out of place and unnecessary.\nThe ordinary form of colour-blindness in human beings is the inability\nto discriminate between red and green. This shows that the visual power\nof these people is dichromatic and not trichromatic, as their power is\nlimited to two colours, or pairs of colours, and does not extend to\nthree.\nThe individuals who belong to this class of the colour-blind may be\ndivided into two sub-classes--those who are red-blind and those who are\ngreen-blind.\nThose who are red-blind do not see the red end of the spectrum, and the\nblue-green appears grey, though they have distinct colour vision of the\nparts of the spectrum on either side of the blue-green. In matching red\nwith a green, they put a bright red with a dark green.\nOn the other hand, those who are green-blind see the red end of the\nspectrum, while the green appears to them as grey. In matching a red\nwith a green they put a dark red with a bright green.\nNo absolutely undoubted cases of blue-yellow blindness have been\nrecorded, and only one of absolute colour-blindness; but one case is not\nsufficient to go upon.\nAccording to the Young-Helmholtz theory, a case in which only shades of\nblack and white were visible would be impossible, as it would not be\nshades of black and white which would be seen, but shades of either red,\ngreen or blue. According to Hering's theory, of course, absolute\ncolour-blindness would be possible.\nIn the normal human eye, only the central parts of the retina are\nsensitive to colour, the peripheral parts are practically colour-blind.\nAn\u00e6mia of the retina, which may be produced by pressure on the eye-ball,\nwill render the retina, first colour-blind and then insensitive to\nlight. To me it appears that colours in relation to each other assume a\ngrey tone, and the sensation of black and white disappears last.\nThe great difference which I have been able to observe between the human\nretina and the retina of the trout is, that while the human retina\ncontains a layer of rods and cones, the retina of the trout only\ncontains cones, or if it does contain rods, contains very few, as I have\nnot found any as yet. There exists also at the back of the retina of the\ntrout a \"tapetum,\" which extends over almost the whole of its posterior\nsurface. This does not exist in the human eye, but is found in the eyes\nof some of the vertebrates. It consists of a layer of \"guanin\" crystals,\nand, presenting as it does a metallic appearance, and having great power\nof reflecting light, probably plays an important part in the visual\npower of the trout, particularly, I should think, in a dim light.\nThe fact that the rods are absent from the trout's retina does not bear\nthe important significance that one would imagine on first realising it.\nThe fovea centralis of the human retina is the seat of most acute\nvision, and in the fovea centralis there are no rods. The cones in the\nretina of the trout are very closely arranged, so that they are\npractically in contact with each other, and their outer limbs are rather\nlonger and finer than in the case of man. This layer of cones extends to\nthe periphery of the retina, and the cones are just as closely arranged\nas far as they extend. These facts should lead us to believe that the\nvision of the trout is probably extremely acute, in fact, as we find in\nthe retina of the trout, no material difference from the _fovea\ncentralis_ of the human retina, we have no reason to suppose that the\nvisual powers of the _whole_ of the retina of the trout, should differ\nin any way from the visual powers possessed by the _fovea centralis_,\nthe seat of most acute vision both as to colour and light in the human\nretina. The retin\u00e6 of other fishes which I have examined (none of them\nwere _Salmonid\u00e6_) contained only cones; but these cones were some\ndistance from each other.\nThe layer of pigment epithelium which is present in the human eye, is\npresent also in that of the trout. It occupies the same position between\nthe layer of rods and cones, or cones only, and the choroid. As in the\nhuman eye, it adheres sometimes to the choroid and sometimes to the\nretina, when the retina is removed, though perhaps it most often adheres\nto the retina.\nMy space is too limited to enter into any of the theories as to the\npossibility of the pigment cells playing a part in colour vision. It is\nquite sufficient to state that they undoubtedly do play some part in our\nsense of sight, and that they are contained in the eye of the trout.\nThe retina of a colour-blind person does not show any organic difference\nfrom the normal eye, so we cannot say to what cause colour-blindness is\ndue; but so far as our knowledge goes, there is no reason to suppose\nthat the trout is normally colour-blind.\nAs Michael Foster so ably put it, \"No man can tell what are the\nsensations of his fellow-man,\" still less I think can man say what are\nthe sensations of a trout. All we can do with regard to this question of\ncolour vision, is to find out all the facts we can relating to it, and\nworking on comparisons, arrive, not at conclusions, but at\nprobabilities.\nThe only thing of which I am sure is that we shall find it safe and\ncomparatively easy to imitate flies in colours, but to make a\nmonochromatic imitation of one, which would accurately represent it to a\nnormally monochromatic eye (about which we know nothing), in a medium of\nwhich we know very little, is practically impossible.\nCHAPTER III\nHOW TO DRESS FLIES WITH THE WINGS IN THE NATURAL POSITION\nThe generally accepted method of dressing a trout fly is to put on the\nwings first. This is perhaps the best plan when making an imitation of\none of the Ephemerid\u00e6, but it is impossible to put the body on after the\nwings, if the wings are placed in the natural position in the case of\nany fly not belonging to this family. The hackle must also be put on\nbefore the wings, so it will be seen that putting on the wings is the\nlast operation in dressing one of these imitations.\nI have never myself used a vice in fly-dressing, and think that it is a\ngreat advantage to be able to dress a fly without using one. Any one who\ncan dress flies well without a vice will be able to dress them even\nbetter with a vice, and will be able to dress flies at all sorts of odd\ntimes and places where a vice could not be used; while he who has never\ndressed flies without using one, will find that the imitations he\nproduces are anything but neat, when he first tries to make them without\nhis vice.\n  _Alder and Caddis Flies._\nThese flies, as I have already explained, have their wings in the\nposition shown in Figs. 3 and 4.\nGive a few turns of the tying silk round the shank of the hook,\nbeginning near the eye and leaving enough room to put on the hackle and\nwings. Carry it down the shank in the Alder, going just beyond the bend,\nand in the Caddis-flies generally stopping well short of it, so that the\nbody may be perfectly straight.\nThe material for the body and the tinsel, if used, should now be tied\nin. I find it best to tie the tinsel in first, not straight out from the\nhook, but diagonally, as, if put on in this way it lies much smoother\nin the first turn than if tied in quite straight.\nIf the body is to be made of wool or hair, the tying silk should be\nwaxed again at the part nearest the hook for about two or three inches,\nand the material spun on it.\nWhen I began fly-dressing I found this spinning on of the \"dubbing\" a\ngreat stumbling-block. In all the books I have read the directions on\nthis point are simply, \"Spin the 'dubbing' on the tying silk,\" and I had\nnot the least idea how this should be done. As others who wish to make\ntheir own flies may also find this a difficulty, I will try to explain\nthe method which I have found the easiest.\nIf Berlin wool is used, a piece should be broken off and the strands\nseparated from each other. The strands should then be laid together and\npulled into short pieces until the whole is in one mass. This should\nthen be teazed up with the nails of the thumbs and first fingers until\nit is of an even consistency. A small portion of this should then be\ntaken to make the body of each fly. This should be teazed up again, and\nmade to taper gradually to a point at one end, and applied to the tying\nsilk with the taper end towards the hook, as shown in Fig. 9. All\n\"dubbing\" should be teazed up and applied in this way.\n[Illustration: FIG. 9.]\n[Illustration: FIG. 11. FIG. 10.]\nThe wool must now be taken between the thumb and first finger of the\nright hand, and twisted round the tying silk by rubbing the thumb and\nfinger together. The \"dubbing\" is now spun on, and should cover from\nabout a quarter to three-quarters of an inch of the tying silk,\naccording to the size of the hook. It should be wound round the shank to\nthe head, leaving a small portion of the shank bare at the head for the\nhackle and wings. The tinsel or wire is then wound round in a spiral to\nthe head, tied, and the surplus cut off. The hackle should now be\napplied. The longest fibres of the hackle must be of the same length as\nthe hook. Clear off the flue with the nails of the thumb and first\nfinger, and then holding the tip of the hackle in the left draw down\nits fibres by pressing the hackle between the thumb and first finger of\nthe right hand and drawing them downwards. The hackle will now appear as\nshown in Fig. 10. Take the tip of the hackle thus prepared between the\nnails of the thumb and first finger of the left hand, and the butt of\nthe hackle in the hackle pliers, so that the back or dull surface of the\nhackle faces towards you. Now, holding the hackle pliers in the palm of\nthe right hand with the third and fourth fingers, put the first and\nsecond fingers behind the hackle, and by stroking them down with the\nthumb make the fibres of the hackle which point upwards point down in\nthe same direction as the lower row. The hackle will now appear as shown\nin Fig. 11.\n[Illustration: FIG. 12.]\nTie the point of the hackle in at the head as in Fig. 12, cut off\nprojecting point, and wind it on with the pliers in close turns towards\nthe head. Three or four turns will be found ample as a rule. Tie in the\nend with the tying silk and cut off the part which remains over. Now\ndraw down the fibres of the hackle which project upwards, cutting off\nthose which will not stay down. The fly should now appear as shown in\n[Illustration: FIG. 13. FIG. 14.]\n[Illustration: FIG. 15.]\nThe wings should be taken from corresponding quill feathers from\nopposite wings of the bird. These are split up the middle with scissors,\nand a piece from the side with the longest fibres taken. The piece of\nquill attached must now be cut at regular intervals, and each piece\nbetween these cuts will serve as a wing (see Fig. 15). Take two of these\npieces, one from each feather, and place them together, with their\nconcave surfaces toward each other. Place them, one on each side of the\nhook, with their lower margins a trifle lower than the body of the fly,\ntie them in at the head, cut off the projecting part with the quill, and\nfinish off the head. The head should now be varnished, taking care to\nclear the eye of the hook, and the fly will appear as shown in the\nillustrations of imitation Alder and Caddis-flies.\nThere is another way of preparing wings which is much better, as it\nmakes the ends of the wings round, though it is more difficult. This was\nfirst shown me by Mrs. Richardson of Kingston-on-Thames.\nThe feather is taken and the lower part of the fibres stripped off, till\na part is come to suitable for making a wing. A portion of fibres\nsufficient for making a wing is then separated from the fibres above and\nbent carefully downwards. If the fibres are stroked very gently between\nthe thumb and first finger, they will arrange themselves, so that their\nends present a rounded edge instead of a point. This portion of fibres\nis then grasped firmly between the thumb and first finger near the\nquill, and detached therefrom by pulling it smartly downwards. The other\nwing is prepared in a similar manner from a feather of the opposite wing\nof the bird.\n_Diptera and Perlid\u00e6._\nIn imitations of Diptera and Perlid\u00e6 the body and hackle are put on in\nthe same way, except that the hackle should be allowed to project\nsideways as well as downwards; for as the wings are horizontal in these\nflies, the fibres which project sideways will not interfere with the\nposition of the wings, as they would do in the Alder and Caddis flies.\nThe body and hackle, when put on, should therefore appear as shown in\n[Illustration: FIG. 16.]\nThe wings of these flies are perhaps the most difficult of any to put\non. To put on wings which diverge from each other as in the Blue-bottle,\ntwo portions of the quill feathers from opposite sides, prepared as\ndescribed for the Alder and Caddis flies, should be laid upon each\nother, as shown in Fig. 16. The hook should then be taken in the left\nhand, and held by the bend between the first and second fingers, with\nthe head pointing towards the right. The wings are then laid flat on the\nbody with the right hand, and held there firmly with the left thumb. The\nwings are now tied in, the quill and part of the fibres attached cut off\nclose, and the head finished off. The illustration of the imitation\nBlue-bottle, etc., shows its appearance when finished.\nThose Diptera whose wings lie, when at rest, one over the other (as in\nthe case of the Cow-dung), my reader will see that I have represented in\nmy imitations, with their wings spread to a certain extent. This is\nbecause I have seen that, in the natural fly, when it falls on the\nwater, the wings are most often in this position.\nIn Perlid\u00e6, whose wings lie one over the other, the wings should be put\nin the position they occupy in the natural fly, instead of across each\nother, and the fly will appear when finished like the illustration of\nthe imitation Yellow-Sally.\nThe dressings which I have found most successful will be described with\neach fly. It will be noticed that I have put tinsel on many of the flies\nwhich have been dressed hitherto without. My reason for using it so\nfreely is because this is the only way to produce a peculiar effect\nwhich is seen in certain flies when viewed from under the surface of the\nwater; and as this is how they must appear to the trout, it is best to\nimitate this effect as nearly as possible.\nThe bodies of many flies are covered with short hairs. When these flies\nfall on the water, an air bubble adheres to these hairs, and, seen from\nbelow the surface, produce a brilliant metallic effect, with the colour\nof the body showing through in places. Ribbing the body of the imitation\nwith tinsel reproduces this effect accurately.\nThe appearance of the natural fly on the water, when seen from below,\nmay be observed by placing a small mirror at the bottom of a large bowl\nfull of water. I have used one of those small round mirrors which were\nsent about some time ago as an advertisement for something, I forget\nwhat. If the fly be placed on the surface of the water over this mirror,\nits reflection will show what the fly looks like to the trout.\nAnother, and perhaps a better, way to observe the appearance of the fly\nfrom below the surface is to put it on the water in a large glass\naquarium. It can then be observed by looking up at it through one of the\nsides of the aquarium.\nIt is better to use tinsel in dressing these flies than wire, as wire\ndoes not reproduce the metallic effect of the air bubble on the body of\nthe natural fly.\n[Illustration:\nPLATE II\nARTIFICIAL FLIES\nDrawn from flies tied by Mrs. J.

It is naturally not found there so often as the flies which\nare hatched out in the water, but I have notwithstanding frequently seen\nthem on the water in fair numbers. The proportion of Alders which get on\nthe water is probably very small if compared with those which do not;\nbut as the fly is in some places extremely numerous, even this small\nproportion becomes in those places a large number.\nA practical proof that they do frequently fall on the water is the\navidity with which the trout feed upon them, and I have almost always\nfound them in the stomachs of trout when they have been numerous at the\nwater-side. I have also often dropped a natural Alder on the water and\nseen it taken by a trout.\nMany will probably think that I have mistaken one of the Caddis-flies\nfor the Alder, but I can assure them that this is not the case. I have\nalways, with regard to the Alder especially, made a very careful\nexamination of the flies at the water-side, and, as every one knows,\neven a cursory examination of the fly with a magnifying-glass puts an\nend to all doubt as to its being an Alder or Caddis-fly, even if the\nknowledge of entomology possessed by him who examines is but small. The\npeculiar hump-shape of the wings when at rest also makes an Alder easily\nrecognisable.\nI believe that the great reason that the imitation Alder is not so\nsuccessful as it should be, is because the wings are generally put in an\nabsolutely impossible position. This is not the fault of the\nfly-dressers, as all writers on the subject have put the wings in this\nposition, a position into which they could not get in the natural fly\nwithout the intervention of external violence.\nI have, in observing this fly when it has fallen on the water, seen its\nwings in the position of rest as often as not. In fact the only other\ncondition in which I have seen it, is when it has been buzzing\nviolently, apparently with the object of raising itself from the\nsurface. Of course the easiest, and in fact the only possible position\nin which the wings can be accurately imitated, is the position of rest.\nAnother mistake in the imitations usually sold, is in the materials used\nin the dressing. The body is made very fat, with peacock herle; while in\nthe natural fly it is decidedly thin, and of a dark brown colour. The\nwings are made of brown speckled hen's quill feathers or bustard, which\nare of a very much richer brown than the wing of the natural fly, and\nlastly the hackle is much too profuse and goes all over the fly. The\nfollowing dressing of the Alder I have found to be most successful,\nboth in my hands and in those of other fishermen.\n_Body._ Very dark brown floss silk, carried well on to the bend of the\nhook, and there made a trifle thicker. I have at times found it very\nsuccessful when ribbed with narrow gold tinsel (00 size).\nIf the body be covered with thin india-rubber, it will be found to give\nthe fly a most effective appearance.\n_Hackle._ Three or four turns of a black cock's hackle, put on as\ndescribed in Chapter III.\n_Wings._ From quill feathers of woodcock's wings taken from opposite\nsides. The woodcock's feathers have a somewhat shiny appearance; and as\nthey are also the nearest in colour to the general colour of the Alder's\nwings, I think they are the very best feathers to use. I have described\nthe position in which to put the wings in Chapter III.\n_Hook._ No. 2--4, new size.\n(Plates I. and II. show the natural Alder and the imitation as it should\nappear when finished.)\nCHAPTER V\nCADDIS-FLIES (Trichoptera).\nEvery fisherman knows the Caddis-worm, which is the larval form of the\nCaddis-fly. As the number of different species of Trichoptera is very\nlarge, there are many different sorts of Caddis-worms. Some of these\nmake cases which they fix to rocks; most of them however have cases\nwhich they drag about with them, and retire into it when any danger\napproaches. These cases vary much in shape and the materials of which\nthey are made. Some species are however, as a rule to be found in almost\nevery water. They are extremely interesting to watch, though, if they\nare accidentally introduced into a hatching trough containing trout ova,\nthey will destroy the eggs. Caddis worms are taken freely by trout, and\nI have frequently found them, contained in their cases, in the stomachs\nof trout.\nThe Caddis or Sedge flies, as I have pointed out, are a very numerous\nfamily, and most of them are taken very readily by the trout. These\nflies, when on the water, generally have their wings in the position of\nrest. Notwithstanding this fact, the wings of the imitation Sedges are\nalways put in an upright position, while the position of the wings at\nrest in the natural flies is practically the same as in the case of the\nAlder, though the lower edges of the wings do not, as a rule, come quite\nso low in relation to their bodies.\n  THE GRANNOM (_Brachycentrus subnubilus_, Curt.).\nThis fly is extremely numerous on many of the streams in the South, and\nis so well known to the fisherman that a description is almost needless.\nIt appears about the middle of April, and lasts five or six weeks,\nthough Ronalds says that he has found them in the stomachs of trout as\nlate as August.\nThe bunch of eggs which the female carries at the tail is best\nrepresented by winding on some bluish-green floss silk or wool at the\nend of the body, which should be carried well down on the bend of the\nhook, as shown in the illustration of the imitation fly.\n_Body._ Light coloured fur from hare's face, with green floss silk or\nwool at the tail. If ribbed with narrow gold tinsel is sometimes more\nsuccessful.\n_Hackle._ Light ginger, or, better still, a hackle dark in the centre\nand light ginger at the ends.\n_Wings._ The lightest-coloured feathers from a partridge's wings.\n_Hook._ No. 1--3, new size.\n(Plates I. and III. give illustrations of the natural and artificial\nGrannom.)\n  THE SAND FLY (_Limnephilus flavus_, Steph.).\nMr. Halford points out in his _Dry-Fly Entomology_, that Ronalds was\nmistaken in calling this fly the Sand-fly, as the true sand-fly is one\nof the Diptera. I take it, however, that in either case this is but a\npopular name; and as almost all former writers on the subject seem to\nhave described the Sand-fly as being a common Caddis-fly, I think that\nin adhering to the old name I shall avoid confusing the fisherman.\nThis fly is one of the most useful of all the Caddis-flies, as it is\nhatched out in April, and lasts almost all the season. There are several\nother Caddis-flies which come out later in the year, that resemble it\nvery closely both in colour, shape, and size. The wings are of a yellow\nochre colour, barred with brown, the body is covered with short hairs of\na light fawn colour, and the fly is about the same size as, or a little\nlarger than, the Grannom.\nThe dressing given below, if slightly modified, will serve for several\nof the other Caddis-flies which come out later in the season.\n_Body._ Light-coloured fur from hare's face, ribbed with orange silk. If\nribbed with narrow gold tinsel is sometimes more successful.\n_Hackle._ Light ginger.\n_Wings._ The part of quill feather of a hen pheasant's wing that is\nyellow, barred with brown, or a similarly barred part of the quill\nfeather of a woodcock.\n_Hook_. No. 1--3, new size.\n(Illustrations of the natural and artificial fly are given in Plates I.\nand III.)\n  THE RED SEDGE (_Anabolia nervosa_, Steph.).\nThere is a Caddis-fly which appears on the water about the beginning of\nJune, and which I have seen in great numbers as late as the middle of\nOctober, that does not seem to have obtained a popular name among\nfishermen.\nIts wings are very much like those of the Alder in shape and veining,\nand the fly is nearly the same size, though perhaps it is, on an\naverage, very slightly smaller. Here, however, the resemblance ends. Its\nanterior wings are of a light reddish-brown colour, and are more\ntransparent than are those of the Alder. The body is also shorter in\nproportion to its wings, and is closely covered with light yellow hairs,\nwhich, on the darker background of the body, gives it a greyish-yellow\nappearance.\nThis fly is taken freely by both trout and grayling, and I have seen\ndace feeding on it greedily.\n_Body._ Lightest yellow fur from the water-rat, spun on black silk.\n_Hackle._ Light red.\n_Wings._ The peculiar shape and colour of the wings are best represented\nby the tip of a feather covering the roots of the quill feathers in the\nwing of the landrail. These feathers are of a reddish brown colour, and\nare found near the upper edge on the outer surface of the wing. The most\nsuperficial and reddish feathers are the best. These feathers should be\ntaken from opposite wings, and prepared by stripping off some of the\nfibres so that they may appear as shown in the illustration of the\nartificial fly on Plate III. Plate I. gives an illustration of the\nnatural fly.\n_Hook._ No. 9--4, new size.\n  THE WELSHMAN'S BUTTON (_Sericostoma collare_, Pict.).\nThis fly is very numerous in some places, and is taken readily by trout.\nThe body of the imitation is generally made of peacock herle, but this\nmakes it much too thick. The fly generally appears early in June.\nIt is said that this fly is often mistaken for the Alder, but it should\nbe easy to discriminate between them. In the Alder the anterior wings\nare smooth, broad and strong, in the Welshman's Button they are covered\nwith hairs and narrow. This fly is usually smaller than the Alder.\n_Body._ Reddish brown wool, ribbed with narrow gold tinsel.\n_Hackle._ Yellow centre with black ends.\n_Wings._ From reddish quill feather of landrail.\n_Hook._ 2--4, new size.\n  THE CINNAMON FLY (_Mystacides longicornis_, Linn.).\nThere are a large number of small Caddis-flies which are very much alike\nin appearance. The anterior wings are long and narrow, and are brown\nbarred with dull yellow. They hover in great numbers by bushes and trees\noverhanging the water, and are taken readily enough by trout. I have\nchosen the _Mystacides longicornis_ as being one of the commonest and\nmost typical.

Its wings are mottled brown\nand covered with hairs. Several other Sedges somewhat resemble it.\n(Illustrations of the natural and artificial flies are given on Plates\nI. and III. respectively.)\n_Body._ Brown fur from hare's face.\n_Hackle._ A badger hackle, the light parts of which are of a pale dull\nyellow colour.\n_Wings._ From the dullest mottled quill feather of a hen pheasant.\n_Hook._ No. 3--5, new size.\nThere are many other Caddis-flies, but the following dressings, perhaps\nslightly modified to imitate certain flies more closely, will be found\nto cover most of them.\n  1. _Body._ White wool, ribbed with narrow silver tinsel.\n     _Hackle._ Pale ginger.\n     _Wings._ Brown quill feather of landrail.\n  2. _Body._ Hare's face, ribbed with narrow gold tinsel.\n     _Hackle._ Brown ginger.\n     _Wings and Hook_ as No. 1.\n  3. _Body._ Pale yellow wool, ribbed with narrow gold tinsel.\n     _Hackle._ Coch-y-bondu.\n     _Wings._ Speckled quill feathers of pheasant's wing.\nCHAPTER VI\nPERLID\u00c6\nImitation Perlid\u00e6, or Stone-flies, are more used in the North in wet-fly\nfishing than by the dry-fly fisherman of the South.\nThe best known species is the Stone-fly proper, but this fly does not\nseem to abound in the South, though I have found isolated specimens at\nHeathfield in Sussex on two occasions.\nThis fly is therefore omitted, and the Willow-fly and the Yellow-Sally\nonly are described.\nPerlid\u00e6, unlike _Diptera_, have four wings. As, however, the anterior\nwings cover the posterior when at rest, it is as a rule only necessary\nto make the imitation with one pair of wings.\nThis posterior pair of wings in the Perlid\u00e6 often materially changes\nthe colour of the anterior pair when they are at rest. Thus in the\nWillow-fly, though the anterior pair of wings are of a brownish colour,\nthey appear of a dark slaty hue when the fly is seen crawling about. An\nillustration of natural fly is given on Plate I.\n  WILLOW-FLY (_Leuctra geniculata_, Steph.).\nThis fly comes on late in the season. In September and October it is\ntaken freely by the trout and grayling. It is similar in shape to the\nStone-fly of the North.\nThis fly has almost always been made buzz. Ronalds mentions in his _Fly\nFisher's Entomology_ that it may be made with wings, but does not say\nanything about their position. I do not think that the hackle fly is a\nreally good imitation of the natural insect, and it is quite possible to\nput the wings of the imitation in the same position as those of the\nnatural fly.\nIt will be seen that there are on Plate II. three illustrations of the\nimitation Willow-fly. One of these has its wings in the position of\nrest, the manner of dressing which I have described in a previous\nchapter.\nThe other, which has its wings partially spread, I owe to a suggestion\nfrom Mr. G. E. M. Skues.\nThe posterior pair of wings are put on first, and the anterior\nafterwards. As the mode of procedure is practically the same as in the\nBlue-bottle, with the addition of another pair of wings, I need not\nenter into further detail.\nThe Willow-fly, when it falls on the water, has its wings sometimes in\none and sometimes in the other of these positions.\n_Body._ Light brown fur from water-rat, ribbed with narrow gold tinsel.\n_Hackle._ Ginger.\n_Wings._ Darkest starling's quill feathers.

The wings should be placed one over the other as in the\nillustrations of the imitation fly given on Plate II.\n_Body._ Light brown water-rat's fur, ribbed with yellow silk.\n_Tail._ Two brown fibres from pheasant's wing.\n_Hackle._ Partridge hackle, dyed olive.\n_Wings._ Quill feather of white hen, dyed olive.\n_Hook._ Nos. 1--2, new size.\nCHAPTER VII\nDIPTERA\nThe order Diptera, or two-winged flies, includes more species which at\ntimes serve as food for trout and grayling, than any other order which\nincludes species of so-called flies.\nThough naturally many other species than those whose imitations I\ndescribe here will be found on the water, I have tried to include those\nwhich are most commonly found, without burdening my reader with too\nmany.\nThe several patterns of imitations of small Diptera (curses) will, I\nbelieve, be found to represent most of the commoner species found on the\nwater, at least sufficiently accurately to deceive the trout sometimes,\nthough when the fish are feeding upon these tiny flies, it is very\nprobable that they will refuse all imitations, for many species which\nserve them as food are too small to imitate.\n  BLUE-BOTTLE AND GREEN-BOTTLE\nThe Blue-bottle and Green-bottle, though perhaps some of the commonest\nof flies, are but little used by the fly-fisherman. The success met with\nin using the natural fly is very small. The reason for this want of\nsuccess is the position in which the wings of the imitation are put by\nthe fly-dresser. In this case, like that of the Alder, the fault does\nnot lie with the fly-dresser, as the writers on fly-dressing direct that\nthe wings should be put on in the same position as those of every other\nfly--that is, in an upright position. Any one, as I have said before, on\nthe most casual observation must realise that the wings of a Blue-bottle\nand the wings of a May-fly do not lie in quite the same position in\nrelation to the body.\nThere are many Diptera which come under the names of Blue- and\nGreen-bottles, but as they are very similar in appearance it is only\nnecessary to vary the size, as the trout are probably not sufficiently\nscientifically educated to discriminate between the different species.\nThe commonest species of Diptera which are included under the popular\nnames of Blue- and Green-bottles, are the _Calliphora erythrocephala_,\nMg., and _Lucilia c\u00e6sar_, Linn., of which illustrations are given on the\nPlate of Natural Flies.\nAugust and September are the best months for these flies, though they\ncome out much earlier. They seem, however, to fall upon the water much\nmore frequently later in the season. They are also very good flies for\ngrayling in October. As I have already said, of the many different\nspecies which I have ventured to include under the name Blue-bottle, the\ncommonest at the water side is _Calliphora erythrocephala_. This fly is\nalso found in towns. The Green-bottle, however, which I have chosen to\nrepresent all the others as being the commonest at the water side is a\ncountry fly, _Lucilia C\u00e6sar_. Some species of _Lucilia_, the bodies of\nwhich are generally green, are found in towns.\n_Blue-bottle_--\n   _Body._ Fine dark blue chenille or dark blue Berlin wool, ribbed with\n   silver tinsel. (I have found the fly very successful when ribbed with\n   light blue silk as well as the tinsel.)\n   _Hackle._ Black.\n   _Wings._ Transparent wing feather of starling.\n   _Hook._ Nos. 2--4, new size. (No. 3 best all round.)\n_Green-bottle_--\n   _Body._ Bright green peacock herle, ribbed with silver tinsel.\n   _Hackle_, _Wings_ and _Hook._ Same as Blue-bottle. (Illustrated\n   Plate II.)\n  HOUSE-FLY\nThere are many small Diptera which frequent the water side, which to the\nordinary eye are apparently House-flies. They resemble them so closely,\nin fact, that many could not be discriminated from them except by an\nentomologist.\nI have, therefore, ventured to put them all under the heading of\n\"House-fly.\" The only difference which will ever have to be made in the\ndressing given below is in the body, and very rarely in the hackle; but\nthese modifications must be left to the fisherman, who must judge for\nhimself according to the flies he finds by the water.\nI do not remember ever having met a fisherman who had used an artificial\nHouse-fly for trout. Trout however do feed on them; and in this case I\ncan bring other evidence than my own.\nRonalds describes an experiment he made in order to test the trout's\npower of taste; and in this experiment he used House-flies, to which he\napplied various condiments, including red pepper. Though his object was\nnot to prove that trout fed readily on House-flies, I think he proved\nthat they did so.\nProbably the commonest of these small Diptera which is to be found by\nthe water is _Musca corvina_, Fab., which is the country cousin of our\nwell-known House-fly, though, indeed, many of the flies which frequent\nour houses are not the true House-fly (_Musca domestica_). The male\n_Musca corvina_, whose portrait is given on Plate I., has a body which\nappears to consist of alternate stripes of yellow and brown. The female,\nhowever, has a uniformly dark body. Of the other flies, very similar in\nappearance to House-flies, the bodies vary in colour; but if made of a\nyellowish or dull brown, sometimes ribbed, it will generally prove like\nenough to nature, to deceive the trout.\n_Body._ Yellow ochre-coloured Berlin wool, spun on black silk. Ribbed\nwith silver tinsel and dark brown according to circumstances. (The exact\nshade is easy to see on the under surface of the natural fly. The under\nsurface of the fly is the surface seen by the trout.)\n_Hackle._ Coch-y-bondhu.\n_Wings._ Transparent quill feather of starling.\n_Hook._ Nos. 00--1, new size.\n(Illustrations of imitation, Plate II.)\n  COW-DUNG FLY (_Scatophaga stercoraria_, Linn.).\nThis fly appears as a rule in February, but I have seen it on warm days\nin January, in fairly large numbers. It lasts all the year till the\nfrosts set in. Those cow-dungs which appear early in the year are not so\nlarge as those which appear later. The body is covered with short hairs\nwhich gives it a velvety appearance. The thorax is large and also has a\nnumber of hairs upon it. In order to imitate this large thorax, it is\nnecessary to have more room on the hook above the hackle and wings than\nin other flies to leave room for a turn of the chenille, of which the\nbody is made, just below the head of the fly. This will be seen in the\nillustrations of the artificial fly on Plate II.\nThe body of the male is a bright yellow colour, that of the female is\ngreenish. The male is rather larger than the female. These flies, which\non windy days particularly, frequently fall on the water, are often\ntaken very freely by the trout.\nThough when at rest the wings are flat upon each other, as shown in the\nillustration of the natural fly in Plate I., they often, when the fly\nfalls on the water, are spread out slightly; so in the imitation it is\nbest to put them in the position shown in the illustration of the\nartificial fly.\n_Body._ Yellow or greenish yellow chenille ribbed with gold tinsel.\n_Hackle._ Ginger.\n_Wings._ Light landrail, or brownish starling.\n_Hook._ 0--2, new size.\n  BLACK GNAT (_Bibio johannis_, Linn.).\nThe black Gnat is found on almost all waters. It is extremely numerous\nin some places, and is taken very readily by the trout.\nThese flies are not really Gnats; but as they are commonly called Gnats\nby the fishermen, I have kept to the old name.\n_Bibio johannis_ comes out in June. The body is black in both the male\nand female, the wings in the male are almost colourless, while the wings\nof the female are dark. The head of the male is also larger than the\nhead of the female. Both the male and female have a dark oval-shaped\npatch about the middle of the anterior margin of the front wing.\nBoth these flies are taken greedily by the trout when they fall upon the\nwater.\nI have found the following dressing the best:--\n_Body._ Peacock quill dyed black, or black silk.\n_Hackle._ Cock starling's hackle, stripped on one side.\n_Wings._ (_Male_) From most transparent part of quill feather of\nstarling. (_Female_) From brown tipped starling's tail feather.\n_Hook._ No. 000--0, new size.\nAn illustration of the imitation fly is given on Plate II.\n  HAWTHORN FLY (_Bibio marci_, Linn.).\n_Bibio marci_ is commonly called the Hawthorn-fly, and was described\nunder this name by Ronalds. It is, speaking broadly, first cousin to the\nBlack Gnat, though it is very much larger. It appears at the end of\nApril or the beginning of May. The body is black, and the wings show\nthe oval patch in the _B. johannis_; but as the fly is larger, in the\n_B. marci_ it is more noticeable. As only the male seems to rove about\nto any extent, it is just as well to imitate the male only.\n_Body._ Black Berlin wool, ribbed with silver tinsel.\n_Hackle._ Black.\n_Wings._ (_Male_) Transparent part of quill feather of starling.\n_Hook._ No. 1--3, new size.\nAn illustration of the natural fly is given on Plate I., and one of the\nimitations on Plate II.\n  _Curses_\nThere are several other small Diptera which at times appear on the water\nin swarms. These are known to the fishermen as Curses or Smuts. They are\noften so small that there is no hook made small enough upon which to tie\nimitations of them. However, as every fisherman knows, when the trout or\ngrayling are feeding on these flies, it is generally impossible to get\nthem to take the imitation of any other fly, it is worth while trying\nto imitate them on the smallest hook made. This is an 000, with a short\nshank. As it is extremely difficult to put wings on these flies, hackle\npatterns may be tried, but the winged patterns are the best.\nOnce, when out fishing, I had a very aggravating experience with some\ntiny Curses. I had been fishing all the morning and had caught nothing.\nAt about two o'clock I saw several good fish rising, but they would not\nlook at my fly. I observed a fair number of light Olive Duns on the\nwater, but both the imitation of this fly and several fancy patterns I\ntried proved equally useless.\nAt last I seated myself on a fence close to a clump of willows, lighted\na pipe, and began watching a fish which was rising a few yards higher\nup, not far from the bank on my side of the river. The water was\nperfectly clear, and when the fish rose I could see him distinctly. He\nwas a grayling of between half and three-quarters of a pound, and rose\nfour or five times in the minute. There were a lot of Smuts on the\nwater, which from where I was, looked very dark if not black. These the\nfish rose at regularly, but he let several Olive Duns pass by unnoticed.\nThe only Curses I had in my fly-box were black; and as those he was\nfeeding upon appeared to be black, I put one on my cast and floated it\nover him several times. But though he once took a natural Smut floating\nwithin an inch of my fly, my fly he would not take.\nI then went further down the bank and caught some of the Smuts that were\non the water. They were of a mottled dun colour, and the black effect\nwas only produced by their shadow or reflection (which I could not\ndetermine) when they were on the water.\nOf the flies in my box that which came nearest in general effect to\nthese Curses was a green insect (dun hackle and peacock herle body) tied\non an 000 hook. This I put on my cast and floated over him. He rose to\nit, and as he rose I could see him distinctly. When within a few inches\nof my fly, however, he stopped short, turned aside, and took a natural\nSmut that was floating past. I tried him then with an olive quill, a\nWickham, and a red tag; but he would have none of them. I had to give\nhim up in despair, though I believe if I had had a dun-coloured Smut he\nwould have taken it.\nThe dressings of Curses given here will, I think, be sufficient to\ninclude the commoner Curses so numerous on most waters, especially\nduring the hottest part of summer and autumn.\nThe number of different small Diptera which are found on the water is so\ngreat that any attempt to classify them in a work which is meant only\nfor fishermen would be out of place. I have therefore limited myself to\ngiving these imitations--\n_Curse No. 1_ (Black):--\n   _Body._ Black silk or black quill, with a turn of the narrowest\n   silver tinsel at the tail.\n   _Hackle._ Black.\n   _Wings._ Most transparent part of starling's quill feather.\n   _Hook._ 000 short shank.\n(Illustrated, Plate II.)\n_Curse No. 2_ (Dun):--\n   _Body._ Thinnest part of natural brown ostrich.\n   _Hackle._ Dun (hen's)\n   _Wings_ and _hook_ as No. 1.\n(Illustrated, Plate II.)\n_Curse No. 3_ (Badger):--\n   _Body_, _wings_ and _hook_ as No. 2.\n   _Hackle._ Cock's badger hackle.\n(Illustrated, Plate II.)\n_Curse No. 4_ (Red):--\n   _Body._ Peacock quill dyed to a crimson lake colour.\n   _Hackle._ Black.\n   _Wings_ and _hook_ as No. 1.\nNos. 2 and 3 should be made also without the fluff being stripped off\nthe quill, which in this case should be used just as peacock herle is\nused.\n  THE OAK-FLY (_Leptis scolopacea_, Linn.)\nThis fly, notwithstanding its popular name, is found on many other\ntrees, and I have seen it in places where there were no oak-trees near.\nIt kills very well, and is in season from April to July. The body is\nlong and tapered, and the segments of the abdomen are, in the male, of a\nbrilliant orange colour, with black markings upon them, as shown in the\nillustration of the natural fly on Plate I. The wings are brown.\n   _Body._ Reddish orange Berlin wool, ribbed with black silk, and\n   narrow gold tinsel.\n   _Hackle._ Coch-y-bondhu.\n   _Wings._ From sixth or seventh quill feathers of landrail wings.\n   _Hook._ New size, No. 2--3.\n(Imitation illustrated on Plate II., Figs. 3 and 4.)\nCHAPTER VIII\nWINGED ANTS\nThe Winged Ants, which are the newly hatched insects, appear about the\nmiddle of July. The time at which they appear, however, varies very\nmuch. They appear in swarms, and when one of these swarms gets near or\non the water, the fish feed greedily upon them. They have four wings,\nthe anterior pair being somewhat longer than the body. These wings, when\nat rest, do not fold neatly over each other, and as the insect is clumsy\nin its flight, even a slight breeze is sufficient to drive many of them\nout to the water.\nThe Ant I have seen most frequently on the water is a large Red Ant, but\nsmaller Red Ants and winged Black Ants are also frequently seen. The\nposition of the wings in relation to the body easiest to imitate is\nshown in the illustration of the imitation of the Willow-fly, which has\nfour wings.\nThe Red Ant is frequently used early in June, though the natural insect\nis not seen so early. The imitation, however, frequently meets with\nsuccess, though it is improbable that the trout takes the imitation for\nthe natural insect, especially as the wings are always put on in a\nvertical position.\nThe bodies of all the Ants should be made fat towards the bend of the\nhook, and carried well on to the bend.\nAs the body of the Ant is very shiny, parts of it, when the light falls\nupon it, have a very brilliant appearance; therefore I have recommended\nthe use of tinsel.\n_Red Ant_--\n   _Body._ Red-brown (burnt sienna) silk, thin on the shank and fat\n   towards and on the bend of the hook, ribbed with gold tinsel.\n   _Hackle._ Red.\n   _Wings._ Transparent part of a starling's quill feather.\n_Black Ant_--\n   _Body._ Black silk, ribbed with silver tinsel.\n   _Hackle._ Black.\n   _Wings._ As Red Ant.\nCHAPTER IX\nCATERPILLARS\n\"Of the caterpillars, spiders, and other creatures which are supposed to\nfall from the trees into the water, and into the trout's mouth, and of\nthe consequent advantage of trees projecting over a stream; of the\nsapient advice, both verbal and written, to cultivate vegetation\noverhanging the river, because it increases the supply of natural food;\nof the statement that fish under trees are invariably in the best\ncondition, anglers have heard from time immemorial. My advice is,\ncultivate your trees, because they are of advantage as giving shelter to\nthe fish. Not a single example of these tree windfalls has been found in\nthe hundreds of autopsies which I have made, and all the caterpillars\nand spiders that fall from the trees in a mile of water would not\nsuffice to feed a single pound trout for a single day. They may\ntherefore be discarded from consideration.\"--HALFORD'S _Dry-fly\nEntomology_, page 138.\nI read this passage with extreme surprise, as it absolutely contradicts\nmy personal experience. After thinking the matter over carefully, and\ntrying to make out how it was that Mr. Halford, in the hundreds of\nautopsies he has made, has never come across a caterpillar, I realised\nhow dangerous it is to make a dogmatic and sweeping statement with the\nevidence of personal experience only to fall back upon.\nAs recently as June, 1897, when fishing with Dr. Charles R. Watson and\nMr. A. D. Home, I made with them a series of six autopsies of trout\ncaught consecutively in one morning. The smallest number of caterpillars\nfound in one of these six autopsies was five, and the greatest, twelve.\nThese trout were all caught under oak trees overhanging the water, which\nwere at that time swarming with small caterpillars, most of these\ncaterpillars being of a brilliant emerald green colour.\nIn the afternoon of the day on which I am writing this, Colonel Walker\nshowed me a peculiar sort of knife which he carries when out fishing,\nfor the purpose of making autopsies on trout. I naturally took advantage\nof this occasion to increase my evidence, and asked him if he had ever\nfound caterpillars in the trout he caught. He told me that in certain\nplaces, in the early part of the summer, he almost always found\ncaterpillars in the stomachs of the trout he caught under trees\noverhanging the water.\nThis experience of his exactly coincides with my own, though the six\nconsecutive autopsies described above without my other similar\nexperiences is a fairly strong piece of evidence. I am therefore\ninclined to believe that there is some good to be gained in following\nthe sapient advice, verbal and written, to cultivate vegetation\noverhanging the river, beyond its advantage as giving shelter to the\nfish.\nI will narrate the circumstances which first led me to use the\ncaterpillar as a dry fly, as they may, I think, interest my reader.\nI was lying on the bank by a large pool on a stream, and saw a little\ngreen caterpillar hanging from the branch of an oak tree, apparently\ntrying in vain to pull himself up the thread by which he had so\nfoolishly lowered himself, till he was uncomfortably near the surface of\nthe water. I watched him, lazily thinking in a dreamy manner how very\nunkind it was of the trout to keep on rising, and yet not look at my\nfly. They were evidently feeding on something, but what it was I could\nnot make out. The little green caterpillar was getting gradually nearer\nto the water, and I was beginning to think that the poor little chap\nwould meet with a watery grave, when just as he touched the water a\ntrout came up and grabbed him.\nLittle green caterpillars were evidently what the trout were feeding\nupon, and that was the reason that I could not catch one with a fly. I\nwatched the branches of the oak tree overhanging the water for some\ntime, and saw several caterpillars fall in and meet with the same fate.\nThe next thing I did was to catch a caterpillar, scrape the fly dressing\noff my hook, and put him on it instead. I caught several trout in this\nway, but found that it was almost impossible to cast any distance\nwithout shaking off the caterpillar. After much trouble caused by this\ndifficulty, which was very trying to the temper, as the caterpillars\nalways seemed to come off the hook at the most critical moment, and\nhaving got a fairly good basket, I found it was time to return. That\nnight I managed to make some fairly good imitations of the little green\ncaterpillar to use on the morrow, instead of the natural ones. These\nimitations met with success, and since that time I have been able to\nimprove on the dressings then used.\nI have found many different kinds of caterpillars in the stomachs of\ntrout, but small green ones of various sorts were decidedly the most\nnumerous. The species I have most frequently found is, I believe, the\nlarval form of the _Tortrix viridana_. I have never found a large\ncaterpillar in a trout, though I have caught trout with imitations of\nthem used as dry flies. I give the exact dressing of the green\ncaterpillar; but the other dressings must be left to the discretion of\nthe fisherman for alterations, as there are so many sorts of small\ncaterpillars, some of them being extremely rare in one place and common\nin another.\nShould the fisherman wish to see the sort of caterpillar commonest where\nhe is fishing, he must seek them himself. Those only are useful which\nare on the trees overhanging the water. If there are oak trees the\ncaterpillars will probably be green, and many kinds of caterpillars will\nbe found which have rolled themselves up in the leaves of the tree upon\nwhich they live. I have no doubt that this imitation caterpillar will be\nlooked upon as a poaching implement, but it is or should be used as a\ndry fly, and to use it successfully requires as much skill and power of\nobservation as does the use of any imitation of a fly used in a similar\nmanner.\n_How to make an Artificial Caterpillar._--A small piece of cork 1/32 of\nan inch thick, or less, and nearly twice the length of the hook, must\nbe cut into the shape shown in Fig. 17. Next take a piece of quill\nrather longer than, and about the thickness of a large pin, from a tail\nor wing feather of a starling. This quill makes the foundation of the\nbody. Split the thick end of the quill far enough to embrace two-thirds\nof the shank of the hook, and then tie it on the hook as shown in Fig.\n18. Now fold the piece of cork, with the broad end towards the eye of\nthe hook, over the shank of the hook and the quill, tying it in as shown\nin Fig. 19.\n[Illustration: FIG. 18. FIG. 17. FIG. 19.]\nThis foundation serves for any caterpillar. Tie it at the tail whatever\nis to be used for ribbing the body, and the body material if it is not\nto be spun on the tying silk. Then wind on the body material, tie it in,\nwind on the ribbing, finish off at the head, and cut off the projecting\npiece of quill.\nThe caterpillar when finished should appear as shown in the\nillustrations on Plate III.\n_Green Caterpillar._--1. Emerald green wool spun on tying-silk, ribbed\nwith light yellow silk.\n2. Emerald green wool spun on tying-silk, ribbed with scarlet silk.\n3. Yellowish green wool spun on tying-silk, ribbed with narrow gold\ntinsel.\n4. Olive green wool spun on tying-silk, ribbed with narrow gold tinsel.\n(I have found Nos. 1 and 2 very successful when ribbed also with narrow\ngold tinsel, and Nos. 3 and 4 when ribbed with light yellow silk.)\n_Other Caterpillars_ made with a reddish-brown body, and ribbed with\nyellow or red, are also sometimes very successful, as are those also\nribbed with red or Coch-y-bondhu hackles.\n[Illustration:\nPLATE III\nARTIFICIAL FLIES\nDrawn from flies tied by Mrs. J.

I am sure the fish takes it for something else.\nIf we consider what would happen to a natural fly which had by some\nmishap become submerged, we can come to no other conclusion than that it\nwould be carried along by the current, without any power of its own of\naltering the direction in which it was being moved by the water. Does\nthis ever happen to the sunk fly? I think not. In fishing across and\ndown stream it certainly does not; and even in up stream fishing, in\norder to keep his line straight, the fisherman must keep a certain\namount of tension on it, and very probably draws it through the water\nwith much the same sort of movement he would give it if not fishing up\nstream.\nThis movement through the water which is given to the artificial must be\nabsolutely unlike any movement of the natural fly when under the\nsurface; for in the natural fly, if it were not already drowned, the\nonly possible movement would be that of its legs and wings, which, not\nbeing intended as a means of progression through the water, and being\nabsolutely unsuitable for that object, would be most unlikely to enable\nit to do so.\nBut here a very natural question arises as to what, if not the natural\nfly, the fish takes the imitation to be? In a communication to the\n_Field_ in June, 1897, I described, under the heading of \"A New Trout\nFly,\" the imitations of two Corix\u00e6. This seems to be a key to the whole\nquestion. The number of insects living in fresh waters, and possessing\nthe power of moving through it, is enormous.\nThere are between 220 and 230 different species of Water Beetles in our\nwaters. There are also very many different sorts of Heteroptera,\nincluding the numerous family Notonectid\u00e6. When we add to these the\nlarv\u00e6 of flies and water beetles, the Crustaceans, Hydr\u00e6 and Water\nSpiders, we must begin to realise that there are other things than a\ndrowned natural fly for which the fish might mistake its imitation, with\nthe materials of which it is made soaked in and drawn through the water.\nThe movement of many of these creatures through the water is fairly\nrepresented by the movement of the artificial fly in wet fly-fishing;\nand, when the shade and colour and size of the fly is the same as one of\nthese aquatic creatures, I am sure that the fish takes it, not for a\nfly, but for one of them. Again, when the enormous number of these\naquatic creatures is considered, it is most probable that one or other\nof the flies tried on any water by the fisherman will come very near in\nshade, colour, and movement through the water, at any rate, to one of\nthem.\nIf this conclusion at which I have arrived is correct, as I believe it\nto be, would it not be wiser to try to imitate, not the natural fly, but\nsome of these numerous aquatic creatures? They are numerous enough, and\na large number of them are easy to imitate; but as yet but little has\nbeen done, except with regard to the spiders, in this direction. I am\nalso sure that the success of the so-called spider patterns used in wet\nfly-fishing has been due to quite a different cause to that which those\nwho first used them and those who use them now believe, as these\nimitations are made from the insect as it appears when out of the water.\nThe spider goes from its nest to the surface of the water and back again\nby a thread stretched between, and so would hardly move through the\nwater, as its imitation is made to do by the fisherman. Those of the\nso-called spider-flies which are supposed to represent some of the\nEphemerid\u00e6, are, for the reasons I have given before in speaking of\nflies in general, most unlikely to be mistaken for the natural insect by\nthe trout.\nA trout will undoubtedly sometimes take anything moving through the\nwater which simulates life, if it be of a suitable size. This is shown\nby the manner in which they take the fancy flies; although here again,\nas one particular pattern of a fancy fly kills better than any other on\none particular water, I think that very often this fancy fly is taken by\nthe fish for some creature which is particularly numerous there. At any\nrate, if the fish only takes the artificial fly because it is apparently\nsomething alive and moving, I am sure that he would seize it with much\nmore avidity if it represented one of his aquatic neighbours on which he\nhas been feeding, and if its appearance reminded him of many previous\npleasant meals. (Jan. 15, 1898.)[2]\n[2] Since this article appeared in _The Field_, some correspondence on\nthe subject has taken place in _The Fishing Gazette_ and _St. James's\nGazette_. Many of the arguments brought forward by some of the\ncorrespondents have led me to believe that I cannot have made myself\nsufficiently clear in the above article, so I have added some further\nexplanations.\nMy readers must not suppose that I intend to apply these remarks to any\nparticular circumstances; I am only speaking of wet-flies in general.\nWhile it is probable that the natural fly does often sink under the\nsurface, and may then be taken by the trout, the wet-fly of the\nfisherman does not as a rule behave as does the natural fly when under\nwater. That the trout takes the wet-fly fished up stream, which is\nallowed to come down with the current without any drag and close to the\nsurface, for the natural fly it represents, is also very probable; but\nthese facts do not in any way tend to disprove my theory. This manner of\nwet-fly fishing is very much like dry-fly fishing, and is certainly not\nthe way in which wet-fly fishing is practised in lakes, and is hardly\nthe most general way in which it is practised on many rivers.\nIn dealing with this subject fully and to carry my theory to its\nnecessary conclusion, it is of course necessary to find a probable\nexplanation of what every form of wet-fly, fancy or supposed imitation\nof a natural fly, is taken for by the fish. This naturally leads us to\nbelieve that such a theory, if it approaches the truth, should include\nan explanation of why the salmon takes the fly.\nWe know but little of the world as it appears to the eye of the fish,\nbut from the little that is known something may be deduced which carries\nthis theory a little further. In the sea many and very various effects\nmay be produced upon objects moving through the water when passing\nbetween the eye and the surface, by light, by the reflecting powers of\nthe bottom of the water, and by the relative clearness of the water, all\nof which factors of the effect produced vary to an almost incalculable\nextent.\nGiven a bright sun, a light sandy bottom and clear water, a small\ncrustacean swimming between the eye of the observer and the surface\noften will not appear to be like the creature when it is seen out of the\nwater. The outline will be indistinct, and the whole will frequently\nappear to be brilliantly coloured. Not only is the body thus brilliantly\ncoloured, but equally gaudy rays will be seen round it, probably\nproduced by the moving legs and by refraction.\nIn this case the circumstances are all in favour of the production of an\neffect of brilliant colouration; but going to the other extreme, with a\ndull light, a dark bottom and cloudy water, we have the dullest-coloured\nfly accounted for, as the first conditions accounted for that which was\nmost gaudy. This also explains the fact that the flies which go in\nvarious gradations of colour between these extremes are most suitable\nfor various conditions of the weather, water, and locality.\nIn the case of the Salmon-fly, probably the salmon remembers, when he\nhas reached fresh water, many an appetising morsel in the shape of a\ncrustacean or small fish, and takes the fly for one of these.\nIn the case of the trout we know that crustaceans are very acceptable to\nthem, and though probably fresh water will not produce the brilliant\neffect which is produced by salt water as I have described above, still,\nas fancy Trout-flies do not run to such gaudy colours as do\nSalmon-flies, still the effect should be sufficient to account for a\nfair amount of brilliant colour under similar conditions. No doubt some\nof the fancy Trout-flies are also taken for small fish.\nIn many waters, however, the effect could hardly be made brilliant, as\nshallow water, shade produced by weeds, &c., and muddy or dark bottoms\nwould all militate against its being so, and in these waters probably\nonly lures that imitate the actual colours of the object they represent\nwould be of any use.\nIn fresh water and in the case of trout, as I have pointed out, there\nare many aquatic creatures which serve as food which have the power of\nswimming through the water.\nMy theory, stated briefly and more explicitly, I hope, than was the case\nin my article in _The Field_, is that under circumstances in which the\nwet-fly behaves more as does some creature having the power of swimming\nthrough the water, it is better to imitate this creature than any\nnatural fly on the water, which cannot in any case behave in such a\nmanner; and what I wish to advocate is, that imitations of these aquatic\ncreatures should be made and used.\nCHAPTER II\nCORIX\u00c6[3]\n[3] Rewritten from an article in _The Field_ under the heading of \"A New\nTrout Fly.\"\nWhile fishing in a water where the trout are very numerous in the spring\nof 1897, I found that I could hardly catch a single trout in the day\nwith the fly. The weather was cold and windy, and showed no signs of\nmending. At last, one day, I opened a trout, one of the few that I had\ncaught during my visit, and found the stomach full of some insects\nbelonging to the family of Corix\u00e6. These insects are very commonly\ncalled Water Beetles, or Water Boatmen. They, however, are not beetles\nbut bugs (Heteroptera), and are not the same as the true water-boatmen,\nthe _Notonecta glauca_, though they somewhat resemble it in appearance.\nOn finding these insects in the trout I took some of them home, and made\nimitations of them. With these the next day I caught a number of trout,\nthough the weather was just as unfavourable. Since then I have improved\nsomewhat upon the imitations I then used, and in waters which are\ninhabited by Corix\u00e6. These imitations have met, both in my hands and in\nthe hands of others, with greater success than any other form of wet\nfly.\nIt is an extraordinary thing, considering the number of men who have\nwritten on trout fishing, that it has apparently never occurred to one\nof them to describe an imitation of one of this large family of insects.\nMr. Halford, in his _Dry-fly Entomology_, indeed states that he has\nfrequently found them in the stomachs of trout, but he does not even\nsuggest that an imitation of them might be made.\nThere are many species of Corix\u00e6 which inhabit our waters, but the\ncommoner sorts are so similar in appearance that many of the species are\nvery difficult to distinguish even by an expert, and but little work has\nbeen done with regard to them. Therefore I have come to the conclusion\nthat a similar dressing on different sized hooks will be quite\nsufficient to deceive the unscientific eye of the trout. This conclusion\nis corroborated by the fact that I have several times had an imitation\nCorixa seized by a trout when it was sinking, and before I began to draw\nit through the water, which is, I take it, a fairly severe test as to\nthe accuracy of the imitation. Colonel Walker and Mr. Herbert Ash have\nalso had the same thing happen to them when fishing with my imitation\nCorix\u00e6.\nCorix\u00e6 vary much in size, the largest and one of the commonest species\nbeing the _Corixa geoffroyi_, which is about half an inch long. In all\nCorix\u00e6, the head is wide and is attached but slightly to the body. It is\nconvex in front and concave behind, so as to fit the end of the thorax,\nand is as wide as the wings when folded and at rest. These insects\npossess four wings, which they frequently use, though they are somewhat\nclumsy in starting from the surface of the water. I have sometimes,\nhowever, seen them fly considerable distances. The anterior wings\nresemble the wing-cases of a beetle; they are hard and shiny, brown in\ncolour, with dark mottled markings upon them. The posterior pair are\ntransparent. The abdomen is light yellow and fringed with hairs, and\nthere are transverse lines on the dorsal surface of the thorax. As,\nhowever, these markings on the thorax and wings are hardly visible to\nthe naked eye, they give the Corixa a generally brownish and shiny\nappearance. Of the legs, six in number, the hind pair are most used in\nswimming. They are somewhat flattened at their extremities to a paddle\nshape, and are fringed with hairs. I have seen the hind legs of the\nCorix\u00e6 when the insects have been suspended motionless in mid-water,\nstanding out at right angles on each side of the body; and as in the\nimitation I am about to describe, the legs take this position when the\nfly is at rest or sinking in the water; this explains the fact of the\ntrout taking them in the way I have mentioned above.\nThe _Corixa sahlbergi_, which is almost as common as the _Corixa\ngeoffroyi_, is about half its size, but is otherwise very similar in\nappearance, as are nearly all the other smaller species.\nThe Corixa frequently comes to the surface to breathe, and a number of\nsmall air bubbles attach themselves to its body. These, when the insect\nis swimming under water, give its body a brilliant silvery appearance,\nwith the yellow showing through in places. This effect is accurately\nreproduced by ribbing the body with silver tinsel.\nThe size of the hooks used must depend upon the size of the species of\nCorix\u00e6 inhabiting the water to be fished, and varies from No. 1 to 3,\nnew size.\nThe Corix\u00e6 in any particular water may easily be found in order to\nobserve the size. They congregate in great numbers among the weeds, &c.,\non the bottom of the water. They are very numerous in most millponds,\npools, back-waters, sluggish waters and ponds.\nThe body is made with light yellow Berlin wool, teazed up with fur from\nthe hare's face, and ribbed with silver tinsel. A good space of shank\nshould be left above the body.\nThe only legs which make any show in the water are the hind legs, and\nthey are the only ones it is absolutely necessary to imitate; should,\nhowever, the fisherman wish to imitate the others, one turn of a ginger\nhackle may be used.\nWhen I described the Corixa in the _Field_ I directed that the hind legs\nshould be made with a strand of peacock herle. I have however found a\nbetter imitation of these legs since then, in the end of a quill feather\nfrom a starling's wing. This keeps up its spring even when soaked for a\nlong period in the water, while the peacock herle legs after a time\nadhered to the body of the fly, and did not stand out on each side when\nthe fly was at rest. The tip of the feather should be completely cleared\nof fibres on one side, and nearly so on the other, leaving however a few\nshort stumps at the end, as shown in illustrations of imitation in Plate\nIII., to represent the paddle-shape of the legs. These legs are then\ntied in at right angles to the body. I have found the best way of\naccomplishing this is to tie the legs in straight to the side, with the\nbuts pointing towards the tail of the fly. Then bend them down, and put\nenough turns of the tying silk round the shank of the hook to keep them\nin the position shown in the illustration of the imitation.\nThe wings are made from the quill feathers of the woodcock, laid flat on\nthe body one over the other, as described in the directions for tying\nPerlid\u00e6, which have their wings lying one over the other. The head must\nbe made large, and the whole fly when finished appear as shown in the\nillustration.\nWhen used, this fly should be allowed to sink. The depth to which it\nmust sink varying according to circumstances, and then drawn through the\nwater in little jerks. Each of these movements through the water causes\nthe legs, which stand out on each side of the body, to bend back; but at\nthe end of the jerk, when the fly is momentarily stationary, these legs\nresume their original position. Thus the movement of the legs of the\nnatural insect when swimming is accurately imitated. (June 12, 1897.)\nThis imitation _Corixa_ has met with a very general condemnation as not\nbeing a lure which should be allowed on waters where the use of the fly\nonly is permitted. As this child of my fancy has cost me many hours of\ncareful thought and labour, I am inclined, with all due deference to\nthese opinions, expressed by men of much greater experience than mine,\nto say a few words in its defence.\n_Corix\u00e6_ are insects which live in the water and are eaten by trout.\nThey possess wings which they use frequently, sometimes flying a\nconsiderable distance, and I have seen trout take them just as they were\ntrying to leave the surface of the water. The efficacy of the imitation,\ntherefore, depends upon the skill of the fisherman, who must make it\nsimulate in its movements the movements of the natural insect. Mr. G. A.\nB. Dewar, in his _Book of the Dry Fly_, in speaking of \"tailing\" trout,\nwhich are probably feeding on \"food of the shrimp and snail order,\"\nadvises that they should be fished for \"with a long line down stream,\nand the fly worked with a series of little jerks, somewhat as in\nsalmon-fishing. The fly should be cast just above where the head of the\ntrout is adjudged to be, and worked into the angler's bank, and it must\nnever be kept still, otherwise the fish will at once perceive the\ndeception and at once decline it.\" Mr. Dewar then mentions a dry-fly\nangler of great skill who is very successful in fishing in this manner\nwith a big Alder. It is more than probable that in these cases the Alder\nis taken for a _Corixa_, or something very like it, as the colour, size,\nand movements are somewhat similar.\nThe Marquis of Granby, in the preface to Mr. Dewar's book, also speaks\nhighly of a sunk alder for \"tailing\" trout.\n\"To kill 'tailers' in broad daylight and in low water is quite an art in\nitself,\" is another quotation from _The Book of the Dry Fly_ upon this\nmode of fishing, and though the author points out that this is not true\ndry-fly fishing, still if the fisherman's conscience allows him to use a\nsunk Alder down stream and worked in this manner, I think it should also\nallow him to use an imitation _Corixa_ under similar circumstances.\nI should not have dragged the writings of others into such a question\nas this, had not the criticisms upon my flies been an indirect attack\nupon myself, as what has been said about them practically means that\nthey ought not to be used by any one who calls himself a sportsman. If\nthis is true of the flies, what could not be said of their inventor? For\nthis reason I take the best means I can find to defend myself, and what\nbetter defence could there be than the published practices of two men\nwhose sportsmanlike qualities have never been doubted?\nWhat is legitimate trout-fly has, I believe, never been clearly defined;\nbut I hope I shall not be presuming too much in saying, that if the lure\nin question is the imitation of an insect which can and does fly, made\nof the ordinary materials used in fly-making upon one hook, this lure\nhas a perfect right to be called a _legitimate trout-fly_.\nIt will be found that my _Corixa_ fulfils these conditions.\nThere is one thing that I wish particularly to impress upon my reader,\nand this is that, in using the imitations of _Corix\u00e6_ and Fresh-water\nShrimps, he should find out whether these creatures inhabit the water he\nis fishing. If he does not do this and fishes with the imitations of\neither of them where they do not exist, he will probably meet with\nfailure and disappointment.\nCHAPTER III\nFRESH-WATER SHRIMP (_Gammarus pulex_)[4]\n[4] Rewritten from an article in _The Field_, April 16, 1898, under the\nheading of \"The Fresh-water Shrimp as a Wet Fly.\"\nOf all the forms of food partaken of by the trout the Crustacea are the\nbest. When I say the best, I mean that trout fed upon Crustacea seem to\nthrive better than trout fed on anything else. In this case, at any\nrate, the most wholesome form of food seems also to be the most welcome;\nfor though I have tried feeding trout with almost every form of food, I\nhave never come across another form which they have taken with anything\napproaching the voracity with which they take Crustacea.\nFortunately, I can bring forward a case to show how trout thrive when\nfed upon Crustacea. In April, 1897, Colonel Walker presented some trout\nto the Brighton Aquarium. I myself caught some of these trout, which\nwere put in a rearing pond to await their being transferred by rail to\nthe Aquarium. As I also assisted in the operation of taking them from\nthe rearing pond and putting them into the tanks in which they were to\ntravel, I can vouch for their size at that time. They were all in rather\nbad condition, and, even had the largest been in good condition, it\ncould not have weighed more than three-quarters of a pound. These trout\nhave been fed entirely on Crustacea since they were introduced into the\ntank they now occupy; and at the time I am writing (January, 1898), the\nlargest of these trout must be quite two pounds or more in weight, and\nthere are others which are nearly as large.\nThe voracity with which these trout seize the Sandhoppers and Shrimps\nupon which they are fed is a perfect revelation. I have seen them leap\nout of the water to catch the Shrimps thrown to them before they reached\nthe surface.\nI have also found that young trout in rearing ponds take Fresh-water\nShrimps with the same greediness; and on considering these facts, I am\nsurprised that there have not been more attempts to imitate the\nFresh-water Shrimp.\nThe _Gammarus pulex_ may be found in almost all streams, especially\nwhere there is much vegetation. An illustration of it is given on\nPlate I. I have however found them abundant in streams where there were\nno weeds. They hide under stones at the bottom of the water and among\nthe weeds, especially among watercress and starwort. Though they will\nlive in still water, I have found them most numerous in streams; and\nnotwithstanding that they are generally supposed only to inhabit\nsomewhat sluggish streams, I have found them in fairly rapid ones, with\na stony bed. The Shrimp is very prolific, and if protected increase very\nrapidly; thus it is a most excellent plan for those who breed and rear\ntrout to cultivate them, as they are one of the most valuable forms of\nfood.\nThese animals are very similar in shape to their well-known relation,\nthe common Sandhopper. In colour they vary very much according to the\nwater they inhabit. I have seen them a pale yellow colour in some\nstreams, while in others they are almost black. The commonest colour is\nhowever a reddish-yellow.\nI find that the general idea is that these Shrimps travel through the\nwater in quick leaps by bending up their bodies and straightening them\nout again. I have however never seen them do this, though I have kept\nthem in an aquarium and watched them very carefully.\nWhat I have seen is, that they use their legs to swim with, moving them\nas though they were walking very rapidly. They cannot, however, walk\nwhen they are taken out of the water, but lie perfectly helpless upon\ntheir sides. In a stream where the Fresh-water Shrimp swims, it seems\nunable to progress up stream, or at any rate, if it does it moves very\nslowly; when they wish to go up stream they crawl along the bottom. They\ncan, however, as a rule, maintain the same position against the current.\nI have found the following to be the best way to dress an imitation of\nthe Fresh-water Shrimp:--Choose a light ginger tackle, cut the tip off,\nand tie the tip on a hook (No. 1 or 2, new size), so that the fibres\nwill project for between 1/8 and 1/4 of an inch at the tail. Tie in a\nthin strip of india-rubber and a piece of narrow silver tinsel.\nThe strip of india-rubber must be taken from a piece of the natural\nrubber, and cut so thin that when stretched it is transparent. When\nstretched it should be quite a sixteenth of an inch broad. A little\npiece of india-rubber tapered at each end and half as long as the shank\nof the hook, must now be fastened to the shank near the head of the fly,\nplacing the piece of rubber on the shank and tying it in with the tying\nsilk. Now bring back the tying silk to the tail of the fly, and spin the\nwool, of which the body is to be made, on to the tying silk and wind it\non the shank. The wool may vary in colour, according to the colour of\nthe Shrimps in the stream to be fished, from light yellow or\nreddish-yellow to a very dark brown. When the wool body is finished off,\nwind on the strip of india-rubber, so that the edge of one lap meets the\nedge of the other, thus covering the body entirely; tie in and cut off\nthe remainder, and then rib the body with the tinsel.\nIn putting on the hackle, which is light ginger, it is necessary that\nsome of the fibres should be made to project forwards, so the tying silk\nshould be finished off behind these. When the fly is complete it should\nappear as shown in illustrations of imitation on Plate III.\nIn fishing this fly must be allowed to sink to mid-water, and then\nallowed to travel across and down stream in short stages; but should not\nbe drawn towards the fisherman in any marked way, or it will not\nrepresent the movements of the natural Shrimp.\nWhether any particular stream is inhabited by these Crustacea may be\neasily discovered. If the stream has a stony bottom they will be found\nunder almost every large stone which is turned over. If, however, there\nbe _d\u00e9bris_ or mud at the bottom, they may easily be captured with a\nstout gauze net, mounted on a strong ring and handle. If this net be\npassed along the bottom, and some of the weeds and _d\u00e9bris_ brought up,\nthe Shrimps will be found among the contents of the net. I should\nstrongly advise any one possessing a trout stream which is not inhabited\nby the Fresh-water Shrimp to introduce them, for they are, as I have\npointed out, one of the very best forms of trout food. I have been very\nsuccessful with the imitation shrimp on waters which contain the\nfresh-water shrimp.\nThis imitation has also met with general condemnation of an even more\ndecided character than that of the Corixa. In neither case, however,\nhave any reasons been given for the condemnation.\nAs undoubtedly some of the hackle flies used wet must be very like a\nshrimp, and if the imitation shrimp is condemned, so also should these\nhackle flies.\nLARV\u00c6 OF WATER-INSECTS, which have the power of swimming in the water,\nare best imitated by making a very taper body, with a large head. They\nare many of them small, and these should not be tied on a hook larger\nthan No. 1, new size. There are, however, many larv\u00e6 which are larger,\nbut not many of these swim about much in the water. Some are\nbrownish-yellow, and some nearly black. Some should have a tail made of\ntwo or three strands of hackle the same colour as the body. Some have\nappendages on the sides of the body, and in the imitations of these the\nhackle must be tied in at the tail, carried up over the body, and a\ncouple of turns given at the shoulder. They may be made in various\nshades, from brownish-yellow to black. I have not yet had time to work\nout any proper scheme of imitations, but only write this as a\nsuggestion.\nSOME HINTS ON DRY FLY-FISHING\n  _On Casting_\nThe fly must not be thrown directly on to the water, but should be\nallowed to drop there by gravitation. Thus the line should extend itself\nin a perfectly straight line in the air, at least a foot above the\nsurface of the water, and then the fly will drop naturally upon it.\n  _On Keeping the Line Floating_\nUnless the line be floating it is almost impossible to avoid a \"drag,\"\nwhich is, as a rule, absolutely fatal. The best way to make the line\nfloat is to rub the last twenty-five yards with vaseline, then go over\nthe line with a lump of beeswax, and finish up by rubbing very gently\nwith a rag with vaseline upon it. A rag should be carried when out\nfishing, with a small piece of beeswax in it. A small tin of vaseline\nmust also be taken and then, when the line shows any signs of sinking,\nit must be rubbed with the rag which has been previously dipped in the\nvaseline. The small piece of beeswax should touch the line as it is\nbeing rubbed with the rag, and the wax will become soft on the surface\nas it mixes with the vaseline.\n  _On Making the Fly Float_\nMany fishermen use odourless paraffin; but it takes some time for the\nparaffin to float off, and when a quick change of flies is necessary,\nthis is a great disadvantage. If the finger be dipped very slightly in\nthe tin of vaseline, so that there is just a suspicion of it on the\nskin, and the hackle of the fly be rubbed with it, the fly will float as\nwell as it does with the odourless paraffin, and the vaseline will not\nfloat off. Personally I prefer not to use anything. This entails a small\namount of extra labour in drying the fly; but the tints of the fly are\nnot altered, as they often are if any form of grease is used to make the\nfly float.\nRICHARD CLAY AND SONS, LIMITED, LONDON AND BUNGAY.\nTRANSCRIBER NOTES:\n    Punctuation has been normalized without note.\n    Footnotes have been moved closer to their reference point in\n    the text.\n    Page 10: \"biassed\" changed to \"biased\" (I must be naturally biased).\n    Page 100: \"teased\" changed to \"teazed\" for consistency (teazed up\n    with fur).\nEnd of Project Gutenberg's Old Flies in New Dresses, by Charles Edward Walker", "source_dataset": "gutenberg", "source_dataset_detailed": "gutenberg -  Old Flies in New Dresses\n"},

Most people\nknow that in our own country the monks had stew ponds, where they kept\nfish, principally carp, and also that the Romans kept fish in ponds. In\nthe latter case we hear more often of the eel than of other fish. The\nbreeding of trout and salmon, and the artificial spawning and hatching\nof ova, are, however, an innovation of our own time.\nMuch has been discovered about the procreation of fish, and in no case\nhave scientists worked so hard and discovered more than in the case of\n_Salmonid\u00e6_. Fish culture, particularly trout culture, has become a\ntrade, and a paying one. To any one who has the least idea of the\ndifficulties to be overcome in rearing _Salmonid\u00e6_, this fact alone\nproves that fish culture must have progressed to a very advanced stage\nas a science.\nThis advance has in very many, if not in the majority of cases, been\nmade by the bitter experience gained through failures and mishaps, for\nthese have led fish culturists to try many different means to prevent\nmischances, or to rectify them if they have happened. Some of the most\nserious difficulties experienced by the early fish culturists who bred\n_Salmonid\u00e6_ can now be almost disregarded, for they hardly exist for the\nmodern fish culturist, with the knowledge he possesses of the experience\nof others.\nSo much of what has been done in fish culture is generally known to\nthose who have studied and practised it, that the beginner can nowadays\ncommence far ahead of the point whence the first fish culturists\nstarted. Many of his difficulties have been overcome for him already,\nand though he will not, of course, meet with the success of the man of\nexperience, still he ought with the exercise of an average amount of\nintelligence to avoid such failures as would completely disgust him.\nThere are many pieces of water containing nothing but coarse fish which\nare very suitable for trout of some kind. Ponds, particularly those\nwhich have a stream running through them, will, as a rule, support a\ngood head of trout if properly managed. Again a water which contains\ntrout may become more or less depleted, and here it is necessary to\nsupply the deficiency of trout by some means. The easiest way is, of\ncourse, to buy yearling or two-year-old fish from a piscicultural\nestablishment, of which there are many in the kingdom, but I know that\nthere are many fishermen who would much prefer to rear their own fish\nfrom the ova, than to buy ready-made fish. Any one who has the time and\nopportunity to rear his own fish will be amply repaid by the amusement\nand interest gained, and it should be the cheaper method of stocking or\nre-stocking a water.\nThe same remarks apply to a certain extent to waters which will not\nsupport trout, or where the owner wants more coarse fish. The stock of\ncoarse fish may be improved by fish culture just as much as a stock of\ntrout.\nIn his first year or two, it is very possible that the amateur will not\nsave very much by being his own pisciculturist. If, however, he is\ncareful, and works with intelligence, it is quite possible that he may\nsucceed better than he had hoped and rear a good head of fish at a less\ncost than the purchase of yearlings. In any case he will have had a\ngreat deal of pleasure and gained experience as well as reared some\nfish.\nIn the present little volume, I propose to try and deal with fish\nculture in such a way as to help the amateur who wishes to rear fish to\nstock his own water. Much of the existing literature of the subject\ndeals with it on such a large scale that the amateur is frightened to\nattempt what is apparently so huge an undertaking. Fish culture may,\nhowever, be carried out on a small scale with success, and though\nconsiderable attention is necessary, particularly with young\n_Salmonid\u00e6_, it is not a task which involves a very great proportion of\nthe time of any one undertaking it. It is absolutely necessary, however,\nthat the amateur fish culturist should live on the spot, or have some\none who is intelligent and perfectly trustworthy who does. In every case\nin my experience, trusting the care of young fish to a keeper or servant\nhas resulted in failure, and in every failure I have seen where the fish\nhave not been trusted to the care of a servant, the cause has been very\nobvious, and could easily have been avoided.\nThe rearing of trout is the most important branch of fish culture to the\namateur, and fortunately but slight modifications are necessary in\nrearing other fish. What is good enough for trout is good enough for\nmost fish, therefore I think that I shall be right in describing trout\nculture at considerable length, and dealing with other fish in a\nsomewhat summary manner. The difference in the management, etc., of\nother fish I shall point out after describing how to rear trout.\nTo begin with, the amateur must not suppose that because he puts fish\ninto a stream or pond he will succeed in stocking that water or\nincreasing the head of fish. There are many other things to be\nconsidered. The river, stream, or pond must be of a suitable character\nfor the fish, and there must be plenty of food. I am sure that it is\nmuch more important to consider carefully whether the water is suitable,\nand contains a proper supply of food, than to consider how the fish are\nto be obtained, for recourse may always be had to a professional fish\nculturist--fish of almost any kind and any age can be bought ready\nmade.\nThe point I would impress upon the amateur more forcibly than anything\nelse, is that he should be sure that there is plenty for his fish to eat\nin the water, before he thinks of putting them into it. It is for this\nreason that I devote my next chapter chiefly to the stocking of waters\nwith food and to the improvement of the food supply in waters where some\nfood already exists.\nCHAPTER II\nSTOCKING WATERS WITH FOOD\nIt may seem somewhat superfluous to say that fish cannot live in any\nwater unless that water contains the food supply necessary for them to\nthrive upon, and yet this is the point most often overlooked in stocking\nwaters with fish. Small attempts at stocking with creatures suitable for\nfood, particularly after the fish have been already introduced, are not\nat all likely to succeed. Such an important matter when treated as a\nsmall afterthought is almost sure to end in failure of the whole\nbusiness of stocking.\nBut a small amount of thought will convince any one that in order that\nthere may be a sufficient amount of animal life in a water, there must\nbe an adequate vegetable life, for weeds are almost always necessary to\nthe well-being of the creatures which serve as food for fishes.\nIn the case of a pond it is generally fairly easy to introduce a good\nstock of suitable weeds. The best method is to let the pond down as low\nas possible, and then to plant some weeds round the margin; the water is\nthen allowed to gradually fill up the pond, and as it rises weeds are\nplanted round the rising margin of the water. In ponds which cannot be\nemptied at all, or not sufficiently to carry out this plan, weeds may be\nplanted in an easy but not quite so effectual a manner. They may be\nplanted in shallow baskets containing some mud from the bottom of the\npond, and then lowered in suitable places from a boat, or bundles of the\nweed may be tied to stones and dropped into the water in a similar\nmanner.\nThese latter methods are, of course, not so good as actually planting\nthe weeds round the advancing margin of the water, for success depends\nto a certain extent upon chance. Some of the weeds thus planted are,\nhowever, sure to take root and grow. Plants of different kinds, of\ncourse, are necessary at different depths and on different kinds of\nbottoms, and good kinds are necessary at the margin of the water as\nwell. I give a list of some suitable plants of each kind at the end of\nthis chapter.\nSimilar methods are used in planting weeds in rivers and streams to\nthose used in ponds. If the weeds are planted in baskets, the baskets\nmust, of course, be weighted when put in a position where the current\ncan act upon them.\nBesides vegetation in the water, vegetation on the bank is of\nconsiderable importance. I shall deal with this at a later period more\nfully, as trees and bushes, besides harbouring many insects which serve\nas food for fish, have also considerable importance in giving cover to\nthe fish and to the fisherman who is pursuing them.\nI think that in the case of a bare water, a year at least should be\ndevoted to developing a good supply of vegetation. This will generally\nproduce a considerable amount of animal life, without any artificial\nhelp, but judicious help will be sure to accelerate matters to a\nconsiderable extent. I would, however, advise the amateur not to attempt\nto introduce a quantity of creatures into his water, until the vegetable\nlife therein is well established. For instance, though fresh-water\nsnails are desirable in every trout water, if introduced in large\nnumbers into a water in which the vegetation is small and not well\nestablished, they will eat down the weeds too much and then die off from\ndisease caused by want of sufficient nourishment.\nHaving established the vegetable life well in a water, and developed it\nto a considerable extent, the amateur may begin to examine his water,\nand find out how much animal life exists there, and to stock with\ncreatures suitable for food, according to what he finds in the water.\nFresh-water snails are always desirable. In streams, or in ponds with\nstreams running into them, the fresh-water shrimps (_Gammarus pulex_)\nshould always be tried. It does not do in some waters, but where it does\nthrive it increases very rapidly, and forms about the best article of\nfood that can be given to trout. _Corix\u00e6_, which thrive in ponds and\nsluggish waters, should always be introduced. They increase rapidly, and\nare taken by most fish, particularly by trout. The amateur should be\ncareful when he introduces these creatures to make sure that he is\nputting in the right creature. The water-boatman (_Nautonecta glauca_)\nis a member of the same family, but is no use as food for the fish. He\nswims on his back, is longer and narrower than are _Corix\u00e6_, which do\nnot swim on their backs, are smaller, broader, and live much more under\nwater than the water-boatman. It is generally advisable to avoid\nwater-beetles, as most of them are more likely to do harm than good,\nsuch a number of our water-beetles being carnivorous. They will probably\nnot harm adult fish, but they will destroy ova and fry. I have known a\n_Dytiscus marginalis_ kill a trout of nearly a quarter of a pound in\nweight.\nIn order to make sure of not introducing carnivorous water-beetles into\na water, I think it best as a rule not to introduce beetles at all.\n_Corix\u00e6_ are, however, so like beetles, that many people call them\nbeetles, and therefore I will give a few points which will make them\neasily distinguishable from each other. In beetles, the wing-cases\n(elytra) meet exactly in the middle line, in _Corix\u00e6_ and other\nwater-bugs, the anterior wings, which resemble the elytra of beetles,\noverlap, which causes the line on the back to curve away to one side at\nthe lower end. In beetles the wings which lie under the wing-cases are\nfolded up on themselves, and when spread out are much larger than the\nwing-cases. The wings are transparent and very delicate. In _Corix\u00e6_ the\nposterior wings, which lie under the hard and horny anterior wings, are\na little shorter than the anterior wings; they are not folded up on\nthemselves and are not so delicate and transparent as the wings of the\nbeetle.\nSuch small creatures as _Daphnia pulex_, _Cyclops quadricornis_ and\n_Rotifera_ should be introduced into ponds.\nSnails (_Gasteropoda_) may be roughly divided into three classes,\naccording to the shape of their shells: (1) Flat-shaped coils (type\n_Planorbis corneus_); (2) Oblong-shaped, somewhat like a trumpet (type\n_Limn\u00e6a stagnalis_); and (3) Ear-shaped (type _Limn\u00e6a auricularia_).\n_Limn\u00e6a auricularia_ is particularly suitable for deep waters, and _L.\npereger_, whose shell is of type 2, is a most valuable addition to the\nfood supply in any fish pond. It is one of the commonest of our\nfresh-water snails.\nMussels (_Conchifera_) are another valuable article of food. There are a\ngreat many different kinds, and the larger ones should, as a rule, be\navoided. _Sph\u00e6riid\u00e6_ and _Pisidia_ are probably the best.\nIn many cases it is advisable to attempt the introduction of some flies\nwhich are not present. There are several cases in which the May-fly has\nbeen successfully introduced, and also the Grannom. Small _Ephemerid\u00e6_\nseem to me preferable to any other flies.\nWith regard to suitable plants for comparatively deep water in ponds or\nlakes, lakewort and stonewort grow on the bottom, and do not, as a rule,\nattain any considerable height. White and yellow water-lilies also grow\nin fairly deep water; the water-lobelia is also an excellent plant for\nponds.\nIn streams some of the best plants are water-crowfoot, water-starwort,\nand the great water moss. Anacharis should not be introduced into any\nwater, either pond or stream, unless it can be kept down easily. It will\notherwise become an unmitigated nuisance.\nMarginal plants are a very important consideration, and plenty of them\nshould be grown. Water-celery and water-cress are perhaps the best\nfood-producing marginal plants that can be grown. Bullrushes and\nbrooklime are also good, but the bullrushes must be planted\njudiciously.\nCHAPTER III\nSUITABLE FISH AND SUITABLE WATERS\nHaving stocked his water with suitable vegetation and food, the next\nmatter which should engage the attention of the amateur, is what fish he\nhad better introduce. He should, where there is a fair chance of\nsuccess, introduce a trout of some sort, as they give better sport than\ncoarse fish.\nThe introduction of salmon into a river is not likely to be attempted by\nthe amateur, but the head of salmon frequenting a river is undoubtedly\naffected in the most marvellous manner by artificial means. In Canada\nand the United States this is particularly remarkable, but the\noperations are conducted on a gigantic scale.\nIn the case of a stream or river where brown trout already exist, or\nhave recently existed, in fair numbers, re-stock with these fish, for\nthey can hardly be bettered in our waters. There are, however, some\nsluggish rivers where brown trout do not thrive when they are\nintroduced. In such rivers and in many ponds in the South of England I\nbelieve that no better fish exists than the rainbow trout. I say\nparticularly in the south, because I do not think that the rainbow trout\nwill ever really thrive and breed in cold waters. I have at other times\ngiven numerous examples which go to show that the rainbow will only\nthrive in warm waters.[1] I will therefore only quote the case of New\nZealand. The rainbow trout was introduced into both islands, but while\nit thrived amazingly in the warm waters of the North Island, it has\nproved a comparative failure in the cold waters of the South Island.\n[1] _The Rainbow Trout._ Lawrence & Bullen, London.\nWhile the common or brown trout (_Salmo fario_) and the rainbow trout\n(_Salmo irideus_) are, in my opinion, to be strongly encouraged in the\nwaters suitable to their respective qualities, the American brook trout\n(_Salvelinus fontinalis_) does not seem to have met with the approval of\nmost of the authorities on pisciculture in this country. My experience\nof this fish is not sufficient for my holding any very strong views with\nregard to its suitability to British waters. In one case I know that it\nwas a great success for two seasons, but I have not had any opportunity\nof following it up in this particular instance. In another case it was a\ndecided failure. I am sure that it should not be introduced into streams\nwhere brown trout thrive, and I am doubtful of its ever succeeding in\nwaters which are suitable to the rainbow trout.\nOf all the trout, the rainbow is the hardiest, and the one with which\nthe amateur pisciculturist is most likely to be successful. It is also\nthe fish most likely to supply a want felt by very many fishermen, a\ngood sporting fish in waters where the common trout will not thrive.\nIn large and deep ponds with a good stream, or in lakes, char may be\ntried with a prospect of success. They require cold waters, and I have\nnever heard of their being successfully introduced in the South of\nEngland. They are a more difficult fish to rear than trout.\nGrayling have many violent opponents, but I am inclined to think that\nthey do but little if any harm in a trout stream, and they supply\nexcellent fishing during part of the close season for trout. They seem\nto thrive best in chalk streams, but there are no doubt many waters\nwhich would carry a good head of grayling which at present contain only\ntrout. They probably do much less harm than most of the coarse fish\nconstantly found in trout streams. The great crime attributed to them is\nthat they eat the spawn of the trout, but I am inclined to think that\nthe harm they do in this way is much over estimated. They spawn at a\ndifferent time and would not be likely to frequent the spawning places\nat the same time as the trout. I have no doubt that an infinitely\ngreater proportion of trout ova are eaten by the trout themselves than\nby grayling in rivers which contain both fish. Chalk streams and those\nrivers with gravelly bottoms and with alternate shallows and pools seem\nto be the most suited to the grayling.\nAmong coarse fish the rudd is one of the best from the fly-fisher's\npoint of view. It takes the fly readily, is very prolific and very easy\nto introduce. It thrives remarkably well in ponds which contain a good\nsupply of food. Its fry serve as excellent food for other fish,\nparticularly trout, but I have known cases where it increased rapidly in\na pond at the expense of the trout. It can, however, be kept under by\njudicious netting.\nThe dace is another fish which gives sport to the fly-fisherman. It will\nnot thrive in ponds. In some rivers, however, where trout--brown trout,\nat any rate--will not thrive, the dace does very well. In the case of\nthe Sussex Ouse this is most remarkable. Little more than ten years ago\nthere were no dace in that river, now it swarms with them. Their\npresence is attributed to the fact that some dace, brought there as\nlive-baits for pike, escaped destruction and established the present\nstock. Sluggish and muddy rivers seem to produce the best dace. Chubb,\nwhich also possess many points to recommend them to the fisherman, will\nalso do well in such rivers.\nTo those who enjoy bottom fishing and possess a pond, even a small one,\nI can recommend no fish more highly than the king-carp. It is a much\nbolder-feeding and gamer fish than the common carp, and is just as easy\nto introduce. While dealing with carp I may mention that the goldfish,\nwhen introduced into a suitable pond, grows to a very large size. I have\ncaught them over a pound in weight.\nThe perch is a very prolific fish, and will thrive in ponds with a very\nsmall stream running into them, and in sluggish rivers. Other coarse\nfish are as a rule easy to introduce into a water. Though perch fry form\nexcellent food for trout, perch, and of course pike, should be kept out\nof a trout water.\nThe suitability of a water depends to a great extent (as to its capacity\nof supporting a healthy stock of fish) upon its having plenty of\nsuitable vegetation upon the banks. Therefore if the banks are bare of\nvegetation, willows and alders, as being quick growing and easily\nestablished trees, should be freely planted upon the banks. This\nfortunately is very easily done, for willow and alder sticks cut and put\ninto the ground in the spring are pretty sure to do well. It is needless\nto say that the moister spots should be chosen for the willows, though\nthey will do well in suitable soil in comparatively dry places. Besides\ngiving shade and shelter to the fish, which is always an important\nconsideration, a considerable quantity of food is bred upon trees and\nshrubs at the water side. I have found as many as eighteen caterpillars\nin the stomach of a trout which I caught under an overhanging oak tree.\nCHAPTER IV\nTROUT. PRELIMINARY HINTS AND ADVICE\nThe amateur who is beginning trout culture had better by all means buy\neyed ova from a fish cultural establishment. There are many of these in\nthe British Isles, and nowadays eyed ova are packed and sent safely all\nover the country. The artificial spawning of trout is not an undertaking\nin which the beginner is likely to achieve great success, and therefore\nI should advise him to avoid relying upon it when he commences his\noperations as a fish culturist.\nCollecting the ova of wild trout is also an operation of some\ndifficulty, and lays the beginner open to much more disappointment than\nif he deals with eyed ova purchased from a reliable establishment.\nInstead of having to watch and care for the ova through a critical and\ndangerous period, he receives them shortly before the young fish hatch\nout, when the ova are not in the most delicate stage.\nIt is of the greatest importance that everything should be ready for the\nova long before they are expected, as hurry and new apparatus are likely\nto cause failure. Any concrete and varnished or enamelled woodwork\nshould be exposed to the action of a current of water for at least five\nor six weeks before they are brought into actual use.\nThe choice of a suitable spot in which to make his hatchery is a serious\npoint for the consideration of the amateur. A spring is the best water\nsupply as a rule, for the water is usually of a fairly even temperature,\nand does not require filtering, but water from a stream where trout are\nknown to live is quite safe. A few years ago it would have been\nnecessary for any one wishing to take up fish culture, to erect a\nbuilding in which to place his hatchery if he intended to hatch any\nnumber of eggs, in order to guard against frosts. At the present time,\nthe eyed ova of even the brown trout (_Salmo fario_) can be obtained\nsufficiently late to be safe against a frost severe enough to cause any\ndamage, and as the rainbow trout (_Salmo irideus_) spawns in February\nand March, the amateur is, at the time he receives the eyed ova, quite\nsafe from frost.\nThe best method to pursue is to make long narrow ponds, with a current\nrunning through them, and to hatch the eggs out in trays and boxes\nsuspended in these ponds. When the young fish hatch out, the trays which\ncontained the ova can be removed, and the young fish kept in the boxes.\nLater on the young fish can be released from the boxes into the ponds. I\nshall subsequently describe how these ponds, trays, and boxes should be\nmade.\nThe rearing ponds should be made, if possible, at a fall in the level of\nthe water supply, so that they may be easily emptied. This is an\nimportant point which is frequently overlooked by amateurs. There should\nbe an outlet on a level with the bottom of the pond, and if the water\nescapes through a pipe, that pipe should incline downwards. This, in a\nseries of ponds, of course necessitates the ponds being at different\nlevels, but the water is thus under much better control than if the\noutlet is at a higher level, and the ponds are easily emptied. Ponds\nmay, however, be worked successfully with the outlet in mid-water, or\neven near the surface, though this does not ensure such a certainty of\nchange of water throughout the pond. It is not, however, always possible\nto obtain such a difference in level between the supply and waste. In\nsuch cases the ponds should be made shallower near the outlet.\nA popular idea seems to be that a gravel bottom is necessary for the\nwell-being of trout; this is quite a mistake. Personally, I believe that\na good earth bottom is best in a rearing pond, and even in a pond lined\nwith concrete I should always put a layer of mould, preferably turf\nmould, at the bottom. With the use of this mould during the subsequent\noperations in rearing trout I shall deal later on.\nThe size of the ponds, of course, depends upon the number of trout to be\nreared. It is better to have several medium sized ponds than one large\none, as then accident or disease occurring in a pond will only affect a\nportion of the stock of fish. Mr. J. J. Armistead in _An Angler's\nParadise, and How to Obtain It_, says: \"A pond sixty feet long, four\nfeet wide, and about three feet deep, will hold ten or fifteen thousand\nfry at first, and give them plenty of room to grow, but by the end of\nJuly the number should be reduced to five thousand, which may be left\ntill October, when they should again be thinned out, or, better still,\nput into larger pond.\"\nI should advise the amateur who is dealing with only a few thousand fish\nto work on a smaller scale in these proportions, and to make these\nchanges gradually, and yet more gradually as the season advances. That\nis to say, work with a third of the number of fry in ponds half the size\nand move some fish several times before the end of July. As October\napproaches, make changes of smaller numbers of fish more frequently.\nLate in the autumn is, in my opinion, the best time to put the young\nfish into the water they are to inhabit permanently. It must be a\nmistake to rear them artificially longer than is necessary, and by the\nend of November they should be fairly capable of looking after\nthemselves.\nTrout, which are artificially reared on chopped meat and other soft\nfoods, suffer from a lack of development in the stomach walls, and also,\nprobably, in the rest of their digestive apparatus. The first case I saw\nof the stomach of an artificially reared trout was a two-year-old\ntrout, upon which Dr. C. S. Patterson performed an autopsy. The stomach\nwalls were as thin as a sheet of tissue paper. At the time I believed,\nand, if I remember rightly, he also thought that this was due to\natrophy, but I am inclined to think that this idea was only partially\ncorrect. The stomach walls of the autumn yearling trout, which is\nartificially reared on soft food, do not show any marked abnormality in\nthe way of thinness; but as the trout's age increases, so does the\nthickness of the stomach wall decrease in proportion to its size. This\nleads me to believe that the development of the stomach wall, at any\nrate, and probably also of the glands secreting the gastric juice and\nthe digestive apparatus generally, gradually ceases when at about the\nage of eight or nine months if the trout is fed upon soft food.\nProbably, also, a certain amount of atrophy and dilatation of the\nstomach wall is produced. If my observations are correct, so also is the\nconclusion that a trout which cannot digest hard food, of which a great\npart of his natural food consists, will not have a really fair chance\nwhen turned out. Therefore, I say, turn out your trout in November,\nunless you can feed them on such food as shrimps, snails, bivalves and\n_Corix\u00e6_; and if you stock with \"ready made\" fish, stock with yearlings\nin the late autumn.\nThe turning out of his fish in November will also allow the amateur\nplenty of time to prepare his ponds and apparatus for next year's\noperations. If the ponds are made on a stream, probably the very best\nplace that can be chosen is where there is a fairly sharp bend in the\nstream just below a fall. An artificial fall can often be made where the\nbanks are high by damming up the stream several feet. Care must be\ntaken, however, to avoid any risk of the ponds being flooded.\nCHAPTER V\nTROUT. REARING PONDS, BOXES, AND HATCHING TRAYS\nHaving decided upon a suitable spot, the amateur must now proceed to\nmake his ponds. Whether he derive his water supply from a spring or from\na stream, the amateur had better bring it into his ponds through a pipe.\nA three-inch pipe will be large enough for a pond thirty feet long,\nthree feet wide, and two feet deep at the deepest part. It is a good\nthing for the water to fall, some inches at any rate, through the air\nbefore it reaches the pond, and in a series of ponds with only one\nsupply, the water should flow through an open trough with stones and\nother impediments in it, between the ponds. The ponds may be lined\nentirely with brickwork faced with cement, and in this case the sides\nshould be made perpendicular. The cement should, however, be exposed\nfreely to the action of the running water for a couple of months at\nleast before any ova or fry are introduced.\nAnother plan, and a simpler and less expensive one, is to face only the\nends of the ponds with brick and cement work, carrying the brickwork\ninto the earth on each side, as shown in Fig. 1. In this case the sides\nof the ponds should be slightly sloped as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. It is\nadvisable if possible to make the outlet at the level of the bottom of\nthe pond, if the pond is lined with cement, but if the pond is only\ncemented at the ends, it is better to have one in mid-water or even near\nthe surface. As I have said before however, an outlet should be made at\nthe level lowest part of the bottom, so as to facilitate the emptying of\nthe pond. The pond should however be made shallower at the lower end.\nFig. 2 shows a section of the upper end, and Fig. 3 of the lower end of\nsuch a pond.\n[Illustration: Fig. 1.]\n[Illustration: Fig. 2.]\n[Illustration: Fig. 3.]\nThe open trough between ponds in a series should be at least three yards\nin length, but it is better if not straight. Stones and gravel should be\nput in these troughs in order to make the water as rough as possible,\nand if some fresh-water shrimps can be introduced so much the better.\nIf the water is taken from a stream, a leaf screen must be placed at\nsome distance in front of the inlet. This may be made of a hurdle\nfastened to strong stakes sunk into the bed of the stream. The opening\nof the inlet should be at least double the size of the sectional area of\nthe pipe through which the water is carried to the ponds, and should be\nsome distance, a couple of feet if possible, below the surface of the\nwater. It is a good thing to put a wire cage over the inlet, and under\nthis a perforated zinc screen is necessary. The inlet from the stream\nshould be so placed that it is easy to get at and clean. The best form\nof covering for the inlet into the pond I have seen, is a zinc cylinder,\nthe base of which fits over the end of the inlet pipe. The part of this\ncylinder, which projects 18 inches beyond the pipe, is perforated, as is\nalso the flat end. This can easily be taken off and cleaned, and breaks\nup the water, making it fall into the pond like a shower bath, causing\nconsiderable aeration.\nThe inlet from the stream should have a trap with which the water may be\nshut off, as also should the outlet from the pond. When the cylinder on\nthe inlet into the pond is taken off for a minute or so to be cleaned\nout, both these traps must be closed. This lessens the chance of any\ncreatures likely to do harm getting in during the cleaning. The\nperforated zinc screen at the inlet from the stream will probably stop\nany such creatures, but too great care cannot be exercised, and it is\nalways best to be on the safe side.\nMovable covers of netting over the ponds are most certainly advisable,\nparticularly if the rearing ponds are in an unfrequented spot near a\nstream. On one occasion I caught four kingfishers during a period of\nthree weeks, all of which had in some way got under some herring net,\nwhich was pegged out carefully over a rearing pond containing trout fry.\nI never found out how they got in, but once in they were unable to\nescape.\nPonds such as I have described are of course for the fry when they have\nreached a certain size, and have already begun to feed well. Other\nappliances are necessary for hatching out the ova and for the young fish\nwhen first hatched. A very good apparatus may be made from a champagne\ncase. This should have large square holes sawn through each end, leaving\nenough wood to ensure strength and solidity to the box. The box should\nthen have two coats of asphalt varnish, and the square apertures covered\nwith fine perforated zinc. A still better box may be made at a small\ncost. This consists of a box with a wooden bottom and perforated zinc\nsides which are supported by a stout wooden frame.\nBeyond these boxes all that are required are some perforated zinc\nhatching trays. These should be 1-1/2 inches deep. They are very easily\nmade, and the ova hatch out well in them. Though ova sometimes hatch out\nvery successfully even when piled up in two or three layers, it is safer\nto have them in a single layer. The trays should be suspended in the\nboxes, and the boxes in the ponds close to the inlets, so that a good\ncurrent of water may flow through them. The bottom of the boxes should\nbe covered with a thick layer of gravel, but the trays are to be used\nwithout gravel. It is advisable to have as much grass as possible round\nthe ponds, and such trees as willows and alders should also be planted\nround them. Willows and alder sticks planted in the early part of the\nyear come into leaf in the same spring, and afford shade to the young\nfish in the summer. Some suitable weeds should also be grown in the\nrearing ponds. Water-cress, water-celery, water-lobelia, starwort, and\nwater-milfoil, are all good. They should be arranged, however, so as to\nprevent as much as possible the little fish finding hiding places, and\nit is for this reason also that I have recommended slightly sloping\nbanks when the sides of the ponds are not made of cement. The weeds\nshould be planted some time before the little fish are turned out of\nthe boxes.\nFinally, I must caution my readers again on one or two points before I\nleave the subject of the hatching trays, rearing boxes, and ponds.\nEnamel, varnish, or charr all woodwork thoroughly, leaving no speck of\nwood bare and no crack open. Let the water run through and over all your\nponds and apparatus for as long as possible before you begin\noperations.\nCHAPTER VI\nTROUT. MANAGEMENT OF THE OVA AND ALEVINS\nEverything should now be ready for the reception of the ova. The rearing\nboxes are resting upon stones placed at the bottom of the ponds, with\nthe edges some six inches above the level of the water, and moored to\nthe sides to prevent their being moved by the current. The hatching\ntrays are suspended in the rearing boxes, or placed upon movable rests\nin the boxes, with their edges just above the level of the water.\nNotice is usually sent a day or two before the ova are despatched from\nfish cultural establishments, so the amateur has no excuse for not being\nabsolutely ready for their reception. They are packed in various ways,\nand nowadays suffer but little in the transit. The ova should always be\ncarefully washed before they are placed in the hatching trays. Mr.\nArmistead, in _A Handy Guide to Fish Culture_, says:--\"If just turned\nout of a packing case there may be small pieces of moss or other\nmaterial amongst them. In any case a wash will do them no harm, and the\nprocess is a very simple one. Take a pail, half-filled with ova, and\nthen fill up with water, and with a small lading-can lift some of the\nwater out, and pour it back again, so as to cause a downward current,\nwhich will agitate the ova. Their specific gravity being greater than\nthat of water, they immediately retire again to the bottom of the pail,\nand by at once pouring off as much water as is practicable, any floating\nparticles of moss, etc., may be carried off. Should any be left, the\nprocess should be repeated, and it may even be necessary to repeat it\nseveral times. When all is right take a ladle, or small vessel of some\nkind, say a good-sized tea-cup, and gently ladle out the eggs, and place\nthem roughly on the grills, where they may be roughly spread by means of\na feather.\"\nTo these instructions I would add some for the amateur, who will\nprobably deal with a comparatively small number of ova. The ova should\nbe washed in some large vessel full of water in the manner above\ndescribed. When the water is quite clear, and the ova clean, they may be\ncaught in mid-water as they are sinking either in the hatching trays or\nin a cup. If caught in a cup they should be transferred with great care\nto the hatching trays, and spread out in a single and somewhat spare\nlayer. They must on no account be poured into the trays from a height.\nWhile under water well-eyed ova will stand a good deal of gentle\ntumbling about, but if dropped into the water from even a little height\nthe concussion is likely to kill them.\nMr. Armistead recommends glass grills rather than trays such as I have\ndescribed, but I have found the trays work very well, and they are very\nsimple and clean. Glass grills are, however, very excellent, though they\nnecessitate a somewhat greater initial outlay than do the perforated\nzinc trays.\nA German fish culturist has recently recommended keeping a stock of\nfresh-water shrimps (_Gammarus pulex_) in the hatching trays and rearing\nboxes. He says that the shrimps eat only the dead ova, and never touch\nthe living ones. They also eat any vegetable or animal _d\u00e9bris_. I have\nnever tried the experiment myself, and so cannot speak from experience.\nDead ova should be always removed at once, and the hatching trays should\nbe gone over carefully once or twice a day to see if any are present in\nthem. Dead ova are easily recognized from the fact that they become\nopaque and white. They are best removed with a glass tube. The thumb is\nplaced over one end of the tube, and the other end brought directly over\nthe dead ovum. When the thumb is removed from the end of the tube held\nin the hand the water will rush up into the tube, carrying with it the\ndead ovum. The thumb is then replaced over the end of the tube, which is\nlifted from the water with the ovum retained in it. This tube may also\nbe used for removing any extraneous bodies which may get into the trays\nor boxes.\nA form of fungus known as _Byssus_ grows upon dead ova, and it is\nprincipally for this reason that they must be removed. Livingstone Stone\nsays of _Byssus_:--\"With trout eggs in water at 40\u00b0 or 50\u00b0 Fahrenheit,\nit generally appears within forty-eight hours after the egg turns white,\nand often sooner, and the warmer the water the quicker it comes. It is\nnever quite safe to leave the dead eggs over twenty-four hours in the\nhatching boxes. The peculiarity of _Byssus_ is that it stretches out its\nlong, slender arms, which grow rapidly over everything within its reach.\nThis makes it peculiarly mischievous, for it will sometimes clasp a\ndozen or even twenty eggs in its Briarean grasp before it is discovered,\nand any egg that it has seized has received its death warrant.\" Mr.\nArmistead has known it appear within twenty-four hours. _Byssus_\ndevelops only on dead ova.\n_Saprolegnia_, known to fish culturists as \"fungus,\" attacks both living\nor dead ova. If the woodwork is properly varnished or charred, and the\nova managed thoroughly, there should, however, be but little risk of\nfungus. Light is favourable to the growth of fungus, and, therefore,\nwooden lids should be placed over the rearing boxes. These should be\nkept partially on after the young fish have hatched out, and be replaced\nby covers of fine wire netting spread on closely-fitting frames, when\nthe fry have begun to feed. These obviate the necessity of covering up\nthe ponds during the first stages.\nMany small creatures such as caddis-worms will eat the ova, and\ntherefore a careful watch should be kept upon the hatching trays as it\nis marvellous how such creatures find their way in, in spite of all\nprecautions. Birds of several kinds are also likely to cause great\ndamage unless the ova and young fish are carefully guarded from their\ndepredations.\nIn a short time, probably within a few days of receiving the ova, the\namateur will find that the young fish are beginning to hatch out. They\ngenerally come out tail first, and in wriggling this about in their\nattempts to get further out, they propel the ovum about the bottom of\nthe tray. When the little fish attempts to come out head first, he\nsometimes gets into difficulties and if this is observed, he may be\nhelped by a gentle touch with a feather or a camel's hair brush.\nWhen first hatched out the young fish have a large translucent\nprotuberance on the under-surface. This is the umbilical or yolk-sac,\nand contains the nourishment upon which the little fish lives during the\nfirst stage of its life after it is hatched. This sac is gradually\nabsorbed but until it is absorbed the young fish are called \"alevins.\"\nAt first the little fish do not require any food, but they generally\nbegin to feed in about six weeks, and before the yolk-sac is completely\nabsorbed. The rearing boxes should be kept partly covered, and the\nalevins will crowd into a pack in the darker parts at the bottom of the\nhatching tray.\nThe shells of the ova must be removed from the hatching trays. As they\nare lighter than the alevins, the current will generally carry them to\nthe lower end of the tray, whence they may be removed with a piece of\ngauze spread on a wire ring, or by raising and lowering the tray gently\nin the water in alternately slanting directions.\nThe alevin stage is the stage in which the least mortality should be\nexpected, and the little fish give but little trouble. There are,\nhowever, several diseases besides fungus (of which I have spoken already\nwhen dealing with the ova) from which the alevins may suffer.\nI was, I believe, the first to describe (in the \"Rainbow Trout\") a\npeculiar disease from which alevins suffered. When hatched out and kept\nin water containing a very large quantity of air in solution, I found\nthat sometimes alevins developed an air bubble in the yolk-sac. On\ndeveloping this bubble they are unable to stay at the bottom as they\nusually do, but swim about on their backs at the surface, with part of\nthe yolk-sac out of the water. An effectual cure for this is to put the\naffected alevins into still water for about thirty-six hours. I have\nobserved this affection in the alevins of the rainbow trout (_Salmo\nirideus_), the common trout (_S. fario_) and the Quinnat or Californian\nSalmon (_Onchorynchus conicha_).\n\"Blue Swelling\" of the yolk-sac is another disease from which alevins\nsometimes suffer, but I have never heard of any cure for this. Another,\n\"paralysis,\" may be caused by lack of sufficient current and by\ninsufficient aeration of the water. Sickly alevins will, as a rule, drop\nout of the pack, and lie on the bottom or against the end of the\nhatching tray, where they are carried by the current.\nDead alevins should be removed at once, and for this reason it is\nnecessary that the hatching trays should be examined at least once a\nday.\nCHAPTER VII\nTROUT. MANAGEMENT OF THE FRY\nA greatly varying period of time having elapsed and the yolk-sacs of the\nalevins being nearly absorbed, the fish culturist will see that some of\nthe little fish begin to leave the pack at the bottom of the tray, and\nto swim up against the current. When this is observed some very finely\ndivided food should be offered to these alevins. They will probably dart\nat the minute pieces of food floating past and a little more may then be\ngiven to them. If, however, they do not take any notice of little pieces\nof food or any other matter which floats past them, they should not be\ntried again till the next day. In a few days from the first of the\nalevins beginning to feed, all of them will be working up with their\nheads to the current, darting at any particles floating in the water.\nThe tray should now be lowered so that its edge is some three or four\ninches below the surface and the little fish allowed to swim out into\nthe box.\nAs soon as the yolk-sacs of the alevins are absorbed the little fish\ncease to be alevins, and are called \"fry.\"\nThe alevin stage was that in which the fish give least trouble, the\nstage I am now describing is that in which they give most. They must be\nfed frequently--at least four times a day. \"Little and often\" is the\nmaxim which should rule the actions of the fish culturist with regard to\nfeeding the fry. If he can only feed his fish four times a day, he must\nspend some time on each of these four occasions. The food must not be\nthrown in all at once. If this be done the little fish will not get half\nof it; the other half will sink to the bottom.\nThe food should be introduced in small quantities at a time, and if the\namateur has several boxes he should put a little food into each in\nsuccession, coming back to the first when he has put some into the last,\nrepeating this operation at least half a dozen times. The less he puts\nin at each time, and the oftener he does it, the better. The ideal plan\nwould be to put a very small quantity of food in each time, and to go on\ndoing this at intervals of from five to ten minutes all day.\nLivingstone Stone says, \"You need not be afraid of the young fry's\neating too much.\" And again, \"I never knew any healthy young fry of mine\ndecline eating but once, and then I had fed them incessantly for two\nhours, at the end of which time they gave up, beaten.\" Personally, I\nhave found no limit to the time that the fry will continue feeding. I\nhave kept on putting small quantities of food into a rearing box for a\nwhole afternoon, and I was tired of feeding before the fry were tired of\neating. My reader will infer from this that I believe that the fry\ncannot be over-fed, and this is to a certain extent true. If finely\ndivided food is given in such small quantities that practically none of\nit sinks to the bottom without their having a fair chance at it, I\nbelieve that in a box containing only a couple of thousand fry, it would\nbe found that they never stopped feeding during the whole day. If,\nhowever, too large pieces of food are offered to the little fish, many\nof them are likely to be choked and to die, from trying to swallow a\npiece a little too big for them.\nThe amateur will observe that shortly after the fry have been let out\ninto the box and are feeding freely, they will separate into two more or\nless distinct groups. One at the upper end where the current comes in\nand is strongest, and one at the lower end. The fish at the upper end\nare the strongest and largest. This difference becomes more marked as\ntime goes on, and in six or eight weeks after they have begun to feed\nthe larger fish will be almost double the size of the smaller. In the\nmiddle of April, if many fry are in each box, they should be thinned\nout, and other boxes brought into use. The smaller fish may then be\ntaken from one or two boxes and put into another by themselves. In\nfeeding care should be taken that the small and weakly fish get a fair\nshare of the food.\nNo matter how carefully the feeding is managed, some of the food is sure\nto escape the young fish and sink to the bottom. This, if left as it is,\nwill decay and cause great mischief. A very simple and easily applied\nremedy for this evil exists in the use of mould dissolved in the water.\nLivingstone Stone recommends the mould under a sod, and I have always\nused this with the most beneficial effect. Earth, besides covering up\nand deodorizing the decomposing food at the bottom, also contains some\nmaterials which are apparently necessary to the well-being of trout. To\nquote again from Livingstone Stone, who was the discoverer of this use\nof mould: \"Earth or mud is the last thing one would suppose suitable for\na fish so associated in our minds with pure, clean water; yet it is an\nindispensable constituent in the diet of young trout, and unless they\nget it, either naturally or artificially, they will not thrive.\"\nThe effect of earth given in this way upon the young fish is simply\nmarvellous. They become more lively and feed more freely. This is the\neffect of a spate--which is, after all, only a dose of earth--upon wild\ntrout.\nThe mould should be mixed with water in a bucket, and, when the water is\nvery thick and muddy, poured into the rearing boxes. The water in the\nrearing boxes should be so thick that neither the bottom nor the young\nfish, except when they come to the surface to take some passing particle\nof food, can be seen. The amateur should not wait till something goes\nwrong before giving this dose of earth; it is advisable to give it once\na week at any rate, and oftener if the fish seem to be ailing in any\nway.\nIn dealing with the subject of food for the young fish, I would begin by\nimpressing upon my reader that the greater variety of food he can give\nthe better it will be for the fish. He should also give them, at any\nrate after they have been feeding some weeks, a certain proportion of\nnatural food. Probably the best of all food for the fry is pounded\nshrimps or other crustaceans. It is, however, difficult in the very\nearly stages of the trout's life to pound shrimps up small enough, and\nthe little fish are much given to trying to swallow pieces of food which\nare too large for them to manage. This evil proclivity often causes the\ndeath of the fry, and therefore great care must be taken that no pieces\nof food which are too large, get into the rearing box. Pounded liver\nshaken up in a bottle with water, and after the larger particles have\nbeen allowed to settle at the bottom, poured into the rearing box in\nsmall quantities, is a good form of food for the alevins when they first\nbegin to feed. The yolks of eggs boiled for about half an hour and\npounded up, dog biscuit very finely pounded, or the fine food supplied\nby several of the fish cultural establishments are also excellent. In\ngiving moist food such as pounded shrimps, liver, meat, or the yolks of\neggs, a good plan while the fry are very small is to put the food in a\nsmall net made of fine muslin mounted on a wire ring, and dipping the\nend of this net into the water, allow small particles to escape through\nthe muslin. This ensures no large pieces getting into the rearing boxes.\nAs the fry grow larger, these precautions are of course modified, as the\nlittle fish are capable of swallowing larger pieces of food.\nWith regard to natural food, the amateur should take care to ensure a\ngood stock for the young fish. Many of the creatures suitable for food\nmay be cultivated in separate ponds at the same time as the fish, if a\nnatural supply is not at hand. The _Daphnia pulex_ (water flea) and the\n_Cyclops quadricornis_ may be introduced into the boxes very soon after\nthe fish have began to feed. _Daphnia_ breeds at the rate which is\nalmost inconceivable. The female produces her first brood of young when\nshe is ten days old, and goes on breeding at an average of three or four\ntimes a month. The female and her progeny are rendered fertile by one\nact of coition, probably for fifteen generations at least, without any\nfurther intervention of the male. Both _Daphnia_ and _Cyclops_ are bred\nin stagnant water in which there should be a good stock of weeds.\nThe fresh water shrimp (_Gammarus pulex_) is an excellent form of food\nfor young and old trout, and should be given to the fry as soon as they\nare old enough to manage them. _Corix\u00e6_ and other small insects should\nalso be given as often as possible. The fresh-water shrimp is bred in\nrunning water, _Corix\u00e6_ in still or slow running water. Weeds are\nnecessary to the well-being of both.\nThe boxes must be kept carefully covered, as I have already pointed out.\nA kingfisher would make short work of a box of fry, and other birds and\nbeasts of various kinds are partial to them. There are only two courses\nopen to the fish culturist in dealing with these enemies--to protect his\nfish or kill the enemies. I prefer to protect the fish first and kill\nthe enemies afterwards.\nThe greatest care must be taken not to introduce, or allow to intrude,\nany water beetles or the larger carnivorous aquatic larv\u00e6 of insects,\ninto the rearing boxes. I have known cases where the larv\u00e6 of the\n_Dytiscus marginalis_, the largest of our carnivorous water beetles,\nhave destroyed almost all the fry in a rearing pond. The adult _D.\nmarginalis_ itself is not a whit less voracious, and much stronger than\nits larva.\nIf the wooden parts of the apparatus have been properly prepared,\naccording to my previous instructions, there should be no risk of the\nfry developing fungus. Quite a small spot of woodwork, however, left\nuncovered by asphalt-varnish, or enamel, or uncharred, will render the\nchance of the development of this disease probable.\nShould by any misfortune fungus get into the rearing boxes, a dose of\nsalt may very likely cure it. Sea water is the best, but if this is not\nobtainable, a solution of salt and water run through the boxes will\nprobably cure the disease. Considerable good may also be done to the\nyoung fish by occasionally putting a lump of rock salt in at the inlet,\nand the water allowed to run over and dissolve it.\nCHAPTER VIII\nTROUT. THE MANAGEMENT OF THE FRY (_Continued_)\nIn the last chapter I brought my reader up to the point where the fry,\nwhich had been feeding for some time in the rearing boxes, had been\njudiciously separated, the weaker and smaller fish which took up their\npositions at the lower ends of the boxes having been put into separate\nboxes and induced as much as possible to keep at the head near to where\nthe current enters.\nIt is difficult to lay down any certain rule as to what is the best time\nat which to take the next step--that of turning the fry out into the\nrearing ponds. When the fry have got into more or less regular habits,\nand showing no fear of whoever it is who feeds them, come up readily and\nseize the food boldly, is probably the best time to let them out into\nthe larger space of the pond. I do not mean to say that when a certain\nproportion of the fish have got over their natural shyness, and feed\nboldly and without hesitation, the whole of them should be set free.\nWhat I mean is, that when the habit of associating the appearance of a\ncertain individual with a meal has been well established among them for\na week or so, they should be allowed to escape from the box into the\npond.\nThis is best done in the same way that the alevins were allowed to\nescape from the hatching tray into the box--by lowering the level of the\nbox so that its upper edges are some two or three inches below the\nsurface of the water. The food should now be thrown into the pond higher\nup, so that the little fish may be induced to swim up and station\nthemselves as near the inlet as possible. Probably some of the little\nfish will not leave the box at all of their own free will. These, of\ncourse, will have to be turned out. The box should not, however, be\nlifted out of the water and the fish and water together be poured out,\nas this is very likely to cause them severe injury. The box should be\ngradually tilted over and lifted out of the water bottom first, so that\nthe fish are hardly disturbed at all and certainly not injured in any\nway.\nAn important matter to consider before turning the little fish out into\nthe pond is, how the ponds are to be protected so that their many\nenemies may be kept away from the fry. Kingfishers, herons, and other\ncreatures are very partial to young trout and will cause enormous\ndestruction if not prevented. Kingfishers have, in my experience, been\nthe worst offenders. Some years ago I was rearing some trout in a part\nof the country where many of the inhabitants bewailed the extermination\nof the kingfisher. Before I began rearing trout I agreed with these\npeople, for a kingfisher flitting along a stream looking like a little\nmass of jewels is a pleasing sight, and one which I had never enjoyed in\nthat particular part of the country.\nWhen the time came to set my little fish free in the rearing ponds, as a\nmatter of principle I covered the ponds with herring-net, closely pegged\ndown on the banks so that I could not even get my hand under the edge. I\ndid not think that there were any kingfishers or herons about, and so\nwas very surprised when one morning, on going down to feed the fish, I\nfound a kingfisher under the net, flying up and down the pond trying to\nget out. By carefully introducing a landing-net under the netting over\nthe pond, I was able to catch the intruder, and caught four more in the\nsame way in about three weeks. Since that time I have not agreed with\nthe people who have stated that the kingfisher is almost extinct, at\nleast in that part of the country. I may say that there are but few\nstreams there, and that it is not at all an apparently likely place for\nkingfishers. I am quite sure that wherever any one begins to rear fish\nthere he will find that kingfishers are fairly common. The amateur will\nprobably be also surprised at the way herons appear, if he conducts his\nfish-rearing operations, as he should do, in a secluded spot.\nMany of the directions I gave as to the management of the fry and the\nrearing boxes, apply also to the fry after they have been turned out\ninto the ponds. The doses of earth should still be given regularly, and\nsalt may be applied also in the way I have already described. The little\nfish will be found to scatter over the pond or to divide again into two\nbodies, one at the upper and one at the lower end of the pond, as they\ndid in the boxes. The fish culturist should try to induce these fish to\ncome to the head of the pond as much as possible. It is a good thing to\nplace some boards across the head of the pond to give shade and shelter\nto the fry. It will probably be found that if much artificial food is\ngiven to the little fish, a scum will be formed on the surface of the\nwater. This scum is composed of grease, and should be removed, as soon\nas it is observed, with a gauze net.\nAll the time that these operations have been going on with regard to the\nlittle fish themselves, due attention should have been given to the\nvegetation round the ponds. The alders and willows which I before\nrecommended to be planted round the ponds should be induced as much as\npossible to overhang the water. Grass and other vegetation should be\nallowed to grow freely round the margins, as many insects are then\nlikely to fall into the water.\nThis vegetation will supply the little fish with a certain amount of\nnatural floating food, without any interference on the part of the fish\nculturist; but he should, however, give them other floating food, both\nnatural and artificial, as much as possible, for this will get them in\ntheir youth to adopt the habit of feeding freely at the surface. When\nthe alders and willows have grown sufficiently and are well covered with\nleaves, they will probably give enough shelter to the fish to make the\nboards at the upper end of the pond unnecessary.\nAs time goes on, and the little fish grow, they should be thinned out,\nthe smaller and weaker being removed into another pond. Despite the best\nendeavours of the fish culturist, a certain number of these small fish\nare sure to keep to the lower end of the pond, and it is these which\nshould be removed first. If they are left, the difference in size\nbetween the smaller and the larger will soon become so great that the\nlarge fish will very likely be tempted to eat the small ones, thus\ndeveloping a cannibalistic habit which they will keep always.\nAt the end of August or the beginning of September the little fish will\nhave got over the most dangerous part of their lives. After this time\nthey are called yearlings, are much more hardy and not subject to nearly\nas many risks as up to that time.\nThe great points to remember are:--That the food should be varied as\nmuch as possible; and as much natural food, of a hard description such\nas shrimps, _corix\u00e6_, snails, bivalves, etc., be given. That the little\nfish should be well protected from enemies. That they should not be\nover-crowded, but the weakly and small fish be separated from the larger\nfish. That frequent doses of earth should be given to keep the bottom\nsweet and clean.[2] That the inlets and outlets should be frequently\ncleaned and kept clear, to ensure a good flow of water through the\nponds, and that a careful watch should be kept for such misfortunes as\nfungus and dead fish, in order that they may be dealt with at once.\n[2] See two letters in Appendix.--Page 93\nCHAPTER IX\nTROUT. THE FRIENDS AND ENEMIES OF THE FISH CULTURIST\nThe creatures which are sometimes found in and around rearing ponds\ncontaining ova or young fish are very numerous, and it is advisable that\nthe fish culturist should have some knowledge of them. It is for this\nreason, that while I cautioned my readers against the creatures which\nare dangerous, and enumerated some of those most serviceable as food, I\nleft detailed descriptions of these enemies and friends of the little\nfish, in order that I might deal with them in a separate chapter.\n[Illustration: LARVA OF _DYTISCUS_ AND YOUNG TROUT.]\nAmong the worst enemies of both ova and fry is the _Dytiscus\nmarginalis_, whether this insect be in the larval or adult stage. I\nthink that I should hardly be wrong in going even further and saying\nthat _D. marginalis_ is very dangerous to trout early in their yearling\nstage. The accompanying illustration shows a larva of _Dytiscus_\nwhich has caught a young trout. This illustration is taken from a\nphotograph of a specimen lent to me by Mr. F. M. Halford, and both the\nfish and the larva were alive when they were caught. Unfortunately the\ntrout is a little shrivelled, and the legs of the _Dytiscus_ have been\nbroken. _D. marginalis_ lays its eggs in the stems of rushes. The larva,\nwhen hatched, makes its way out, and proceeds to lead a predatory life.\nThe larva when full-grown is about two inches long, and is quite the\nmost rapacious creature which lives in our waters. The adult beetle is\nalso purely carnivorous, but is perhaps not quite so rapacious. It\nwould, however, probably attack a larger fish.\nThe largest of English water beetles is _Hydrophilus piceus_. This\nbeetle is not, in the adult stage at least, carnivorous, but the larva,\nwhich is about half an inch longer and considerably fatter than that of\n_D. marginalis_, is carnivorous. It may be told from the larva of\n_Dytiscus_ not only by its size, which is hardly a reliable point for\ndiscrimination, but by the smaller size of the head in comparison to the\nrest of the body. The claws, with which _Hydrophilus_ seizes its prey,\nare, too, considerably smaller than those of _Dytiscus_. This larva\nshould be kept out of the rearing ponds with just as much care as that\nof the more voracious _D. marginalis_.\nWith the kingfisher I have already dealt at some length, so that I need\nsay but little more with regard to it. One of the worst features in this\nbird's character is that it will go on killing many more little fish\nthan it can possibly eat. As I have before said, it is surprising how\nthese birds will appear in considerable numbers where a fish hatchery is\nstarted, even in localities where they have before been considered rare.\nI have already described how the ponds should be protected from their\nravages.\nHerons do a great deal of harm to fish ponds, even when the fish have\ngot well into the yearling stage. I have on one or two occasions known\nof herons wounding trout of at least a pound in weight. Besides the\nactual damage they do by killing fish, they put all the other fish in\nthe pond off their feed through frightening them. After a heron or\nkingfisher has been about a rearing pond the little fish will not feed\nfor a considerable time, sometimes even for days. Notwithstanding their\nvery evil proclivities, both herons and kingfishers are very\ninteresting. A kingfisher, if he catches a fish which is a little too\nbig for him to swallow whole, will knock the head of the fish, which he\nalways catches by the middle of the body, against a stone, in order to\nkill it, or at least to stop it struggling; it might otherwise in its\nstruggles escape, as the kingfisher can only swallow a fish head first.\nThere are stories which tell how herons sometimes pluck small feathers\nfrom their breasts and, floating these feathers upon the water, catch\nthe trout as they rise to it; it is supposed that the trout takes the\nfeather for a fly. Personally, I do not think that much credence should\nbe attached to the latter story.\nOther birds, usually found on or near the water, are also likely to do\nmuch harm to the ova and young fish. Almost every creature which is\nfound near the water seems to have a great liking for the ova of fishes.\nAll the wading and swimming birds are to be dreaded by the fish\nculturist. They will, all of them, eat ova in enormous quantities, and\nmany of them will also eat the little fish.\nBesides birds, small larv\u00e6 of several insects will eat, or at any rate\nkill, the ova in considerable numbers. Caddis-worms are among these\nlarv\u00e6 which eat ova. This seems to be one of the few cases in which\nnature is just, for caddis-worms are taken very readily by even small\ntrout. Large trout will take them very greedily, cases and all.\nTherefore, I should advise the fish culturist to cultivate them as food\nfor the fish he is rearing, but to be very careful that they do not get\ninto the rearing boxes or hatching trays when he has ova in them. The\ncaddis-worms kill the ova by making a small hole in them and sucking\nsome of the contents out; from this hole some more of the contents\nescapes, and as it comes into contact with the water becomes opaque.\nCaddis-worms are the larv\u00e6 of an order of four-winged flies commonly\nknown as sedges, caddis-flies, or water-moths. The latter appellation is\nof course a misnomer, as these flies (_Trichoptera_) have nothing\nwhatever to do with moths. They resemble moths, however, in that they\nhave four wings which when at rest lie in much the same position as do\nthose of moths, and as many of them have their wings thickly covered\nwith hairs, this resemblance is sometimes very marked. The larv\u00e6\n(caddis-worms), being eagerly sought as food by many fish, and having\nvery soft bodies, make for themselves cases. Some of these cases are\nmade from small sticks, some from little pieces of stone or sand, and\nsome from a mixture of all of these substances. As these cases resemble\nsuch small pieces of rubbish as are frequently found in streams, care\nshould be taken that they do not get into the hatching trays containing\nova.\nMany of the water beetles, and practically all of their larv\u00e6, will\nattack the ova; they should therefore be carefully excluded from the\nhatching trays. As there are about 114 different species of beetles in\nthe family of _Dytiscid\u00e6_ alone, my readers will appreciate my reason\nfor not attempting to enumerate them. It will be a sufficient warning to\nstate the fact that they are all carnivorous, and their relative sizes\nis the only thing which will decide whether the beetle will eat the\nfish, or the fish the beetle.\nVery similar to beetles are some of the water-bugs. They may, however,\neasily be distinguished from beetles, as the outer or anterior wings of\nthe bugs cross each other at their lower ends, while the elytra of\nbeetles, which much resemble the horny, anterior wings of some of the\nwater-bugs, meet exactly in the middle line. These water-bugs, though\nsome of them are excellent food for even the small fish, will attack the\nova, and therefore they should be kept out of the hatching trays. The\nfish culturist should, however, whenever it is possible, cultivate such\nof these water-bugs as are good food for the fry in separate ponds, as I\nhave before recommended. The best of these water-bugs are _Corix\u00e6_.\nOthers, such as the water-boatman, water-scorpions and pond-skaters, are\nnot of any value as food for the fish.\nThe larv\u00e6 of _Ephemerid\u00e6_ are very good food for the fish, and should be\ncultivated in separate ponds if possible, and some turned into the ponds\ncontaining the little fish occasionally. A fair proportion should,\nhowever, be kept in the ponds and protected, so that a good stock of the\nflies may be available next year.\nThe larv\u00e6 of _Ephemerid\u00e6_ may be obtained in many streams, and are best\ncaught with a fine gauze net. Some of them swim, but most are generally\ncaptured with such a net at the bottom of the water among the _d\u00e9bris_.\nEggs of _Ephemerid\u00e6_ may be obtained sometimes from another locality if\nthey cannot be got on the spot. These should be carefully preserved for\nthe first year at any rate, and a good fly may thus be introduced into a\nwater where it was before unknown.\nI have already spoken of the fresh-water shrimp and the water-flea\n(_Daphnia pulex_). These valuable articles of diet should be introduced\nwhenever it is possible. _Daphnia_ must be reared in a stagnant pond,\nthe fresh-water shrimp (_Gammarus pulex_) in running water, with plenty\nof weeds.\nOther useful creatures besides those snails and mussels which I\ndescribed in a previous chapter, are the water-louse (_Asellus\naquaticus_), _Cyprid\u00e6_, and _Cyclops quadricornis_. Asellus is very\nsimilar in size and shape to the common garden-louse, which is found in\ndecaying wood. It will live either in stagnant or running water.\n_Cyprid\u00e6_ are very much smaller, being generally only as large as a\nlarge pin's head. They have a bivalve shell which makes them look\nsomething like a small mussel. They are, however, very active, swimming\nby means of two pairs of legs. They also possess two pairs of antenn\u00e6\nand one eye. (The species belonging to the genus _Candona_ of the family\n_Cyprid\u00e6_, do not swim.) _Cyclops_ is another very small crustacean,\nshaped like a large-headed club. It swims very actively, and, like the\n_Cyprid\u00e6_, is an excellent article of diet for very young fish. Both\nthese crustacea live in stagnant water, and must, therefore, be kept in\na separate pond, whence they may be taken as required to be given to the\nfry.\nCHAPTER X\nTROUT. MANAGEMENT, FEEDING, AND TURNING OUT OF YEARLINGS\nAs I pointed out to my readers in Chapter VIII., the young trout have\nafter August passed the critical period of their existence, and may be\nconsidered safe and hardy. Naturally, as they get older, they require\nmore food, but this need not be given so frequently as the fish grow\nolder. While it was necessary to feed the fry at least four times a day,\nit will be found quite sufficient if the fish in August are fed only\ntwice during the twenty-four hours. I must here again impress upon my\nreader the importance of feeding the trout upon as natural a food as\npossible. Their future well-being depends upon this, much more than is\ngenerally realized even by fish culturists. Of course, trout fed\nentirely upon soft food may turn out all right, particularly if they are\nturned out as very young yearlings, but it is better not to leave\nanything to chance and make sure of being on the safe side.\nAs was the case with the fry during the whole of the earlier part of\ntheir lives, the yearlings will divide into two more or less separate\npacks, though the fish may have been separated several times before in\norder to divide those which kept at the head from those which kept at\nthe lower end of the pond. Those trout at the lower end must be coaxed\nto the upper end as much as possible, care being taken when feeding that\nall the fish get a fair share of food. Should any of the fish remain\nobstinately at the lower end, and those at the upper end outgrow them to\na marked extent, the smaller ones must be again separated from the\nlarger.\nWhen, in September or October, the little fish have grown active and\nstrong, they may be turned out into the water they are to occupy for the\nrest of their lives. There is really no reason why, if they are\nwell-grown and strong, they should not be turned out in August if the\nwater they have to be taken to is quite close to the rearing ponds, but\nif they have to be carried any distance, it is better to keep them in\nthe rearing ponds for a few weeks longer, till the weather gets cool\nenough to make it quite safe to allow for a possible delay in the\ntransit.\nThe turning out of the fish requires some little care. I have seen fish\nwhich had been sent by rail, poured out with the water contained in the\ncans, in as hurried a manner as possible. Though of course it is\nimportant to get the fish out of the cans used for transport as soon as\nis compatible with safety; still, undue haste in this operation is\nlikely to do much harm. Young fish of any kind require delicate\nhandling, and young trout particularly. The cans should, when possible,\nbe partly emptied, and some water from that into which they are to be\nturned put into the can. This is of course not necessary if the rearing\nponds are supplied from the same source as the water into which the fish\nare turned. The cans should then be partially immersed in the water, and\nthe edges brought gradually below the surface. This allows the fish to\nswim out of the cans of their own accord, and the few which will not go\nout may be forced to do so by gently turning the can upside down.\nIt is a very good thing to give each of the fish a dose of salt before\nturning them out, particularly if they have travelled any distance. This\nis easily managed by catching the fish, a few at a time, in a\nlanding-net from the travelling can, and then, instead of putting them\nstraight into the water, putting them into a bucket of salt and water\nfor a short time. Sea water is of course better if it is available. This\ndoes away with any risk of their developing fungus on the spots which\nhave very likely got bruised during the journey.\nThe yearlings are best taken from the rearing ponds by netting them. A\nnet which is more than broad enough to go across the rearing pond is\nnecessary. Too many should not be taken out at a time in each haul of\nthe net, as they are thus more likely to be injured or dropped on the\nground. The amateur should not forget, that though the little fish will\nstand a good deal of moving about as long as they are in water, they are\nlikely to be killed, or at least severely injured, by a shock,\nparticularly if that shock is sustained while they are out of the water\nfor a second or two during their being moved from one place to another.\nIf the amateur intends to keep any of his yearlings longer than\nDecember, he will have to make a larger pond. This pond need not be a\nlong, narrow one like those in which the fry were kept. Though the fish\nof course still require a sufficient supply of well-aerated water, a\nlarger pond without the same marked current through it will do perfectly\nwell. They must be well fed, and if any grow markedly bigger than the\nrest these should be separated. If they are not well supplied with food\nthey are very likely to try and eat each other, that is to say, the\nlargest will try to eat the smallest.\nCHAPTER XI\nTHE REARING OF THE RAINBOW TROUT, AMERICAN BROOK TROUT, AND CHAR\nAs the methods used in hatching out the ova and rearing the young fish\nare very similar in the case of different species of trout to those I\nhave already described in dealing with the common trout (_Salmo fario_),\nI will confine myself to pointing out the most marked differences in the\nhabits of such species as are suitable to our waters, and which are\nlikely to be of use to the fish culturist. The salmon- or sea-trout will\nbe dealt with under salmon.\nFirst and foremost among the trout, excluding of course our own brown\ntrout, I put the rainbow trout (_Salmo irideus_). There are several\nvarieties of this species, but that which is now being so freely\nintroduced into many waters in England is the McCloud River rainbow (_S.\nirideus_, var. _shasta_). As I have before stated, the rainbow spawns\nlong after the _S. fario_. It therefore will give the fly-fishermen good\nsport after the season for the common trout is over. It is a very free\nfeeder, and grows more rapidly than our trout; great care must therefore\nbe taken to give it plenty of food. I would draw my readers' attention\nparticularly to this fact as to the feeding and quick-growing qualities\nof the rainbow, for they make it, if possible, even more necessary that\nthe water into which they are turned should contain a good supply of\nfood than it was in the case of the common trout; though even in the\ncase of the common trout, this is quite the most important consideration\nin stocking a water with fish.\nAnother advantage possessed by the rainbow is, that it is less liable to\nthe attacks of fungus than any other of the _Salmonid\u00e6_. Though, of\ncourse, this is not such an important consideration nowadays as it would\nhave been even a few years ago, still it is one which deserves some\nconsideration, particularly from the amateur. This freedom from fungus\nis very marked in the rainbow, for I know of a case where some dace\nsuffering from fungus were put into a rearing pond containing a few\nrainbows. Though the dace died of the disease, the rainbows remained\nhealthy and free from it. The amateur will probably receive the ova of\nthe rainbow towards the end of April or during May. The ova should hatch\nout within a few days of their being received.\nA few years, I might almost say months ago, the great majority of\ndisinterested persons, whose opinion was of any consequence, were\ninclined to condemn the general introduction of this fish into our\nwaters. I was, unfortunately, supposed to be among a certain class of\npeople who advocated the general introduction of this fish into all our\nwaters indiscriminately. This, I have always said, was a very\nshort-sighted policy, for, to begin with, the evidence at our disposal\nseems to show that the rainbow will never thrive in cold waters, and at\nthe best can only be expected to really thrive and spawn in the warm\nwaters in the south of England. I never advocated more for the rainbow\nthan that it should have a fair trial in waters where our own trout had\nbeen tried and found not to be a success. Now, however, I in my turn\nstand a chance of being converted by converts from among the very people\nwho, a short time ago, were condemning me for holding too favourable an\nopinion of the fish in question. I am inclined to think that in the\ncase of a pond in the south, even when it is supplied by a good stream,\nthe rainbow is the better fish with which to stock. I have been led to\nbelieve this, partly through my own experience, and partly on account of\nthe opinion of Mr. Senior, for I consider his opinion on such a matter\nof the greatest possible value.\nAnother point about the rainbow, which in many cases will recommend it\nparticularly to the amateur, is that though of course an abundant supply\nof water is an advantage, it may be reared with a smaller supply.\nA fish which has been very freely introduced into British waters is the\nAmerican brook-trout (_Salvelinus fontinalis_). Though this fish is not\nreally a trout but a char I have included it among trout, because it is\nso very generally known to fishermen as the American brook-trout. The\n_fontinalis_, as it is commonly called by fish culturists, is a very\nsatisfactory fish to rear artificially, but there seems to be some doubt\nas to its suitability to British waters. It grows to a considerable size\nunder favourable conditions, and is one of the best of table fishes. It\nis, however, undoubtedly one of the worst of cannibals among sporting\nfishes, and does not apparently rise freely to the fly when about two\nyears old and older.\nThe spawning season is extended over an even longer period than that of\nour own brown trout, beginning, in its native country, in October, and\nsometimes lasting till March. It shows a very marked tendency, at any\nrate in America, to go down to the sea, and in some parts of Canada is\ncalled a sea-trout. The fish are easy to rear, but I should recommend\ngreat caution with regard to their introduction into any waters in\nEngland. The remarks and instructions which I gave with regard to the\ncommon trout, apply also to the _fontinalis_, but I would lay particular\nstress upon the necessity of separating the fish, as soon as some grow\nlarger than the rest. The only drawback to this fish, from the fish\nculturist's point of view, is that though a very free feeder, it is very\ndainty, sometimes refusing a particular kind of food for no apparent\nreason. As the spawning season is extended over such a considerable\nperiod of time, it is obvious that the amateur will be able to obtain\nthe ova, ready to hatch out, during a similarly lengthy period.\nA fish which I should very much like to see tried in England, is the\ncut-throat trout (_Salmo mykiss_). It is also known as the red-throat\ntrout. I should think, from the description given in the report of the\nCommission of Fisheries, Game, and Forests for the State of New York,\nthat it would do well in many of our waters. There are many varieties of\nthis species of trout. The common name of them all is _Salmo mykiss_,\nthe black-spotted trout of the Rocky Mountains. The cut-throat trout\nproper, so called from the red colour of its throat, is simply S.\nmykiss, but there are many varieties described. Among these are the\nColumbia River trout (_S. mykiss_, var. _clarkii_), the Lake Tahoe trout\n(_S. mykiss_, var. _henshawi_), the Rio Grande trout (_S. mykiss_, var.\n_spilurus_), and the Colorado River trout (_S. mykiss_, var.\n_pleuriticus_). As these names show, the black-spotted trout has a very\nwide range and is found in what are totally different climates. I should\nvery much like to see the cut-throat and the Columbia River varieties\ntried in our waters, particularly the former, as they would probably\nsucceed in waters which are too cold for the rainbow, and might very\nlikely thrive where our own trout (_S. fario_) is not a success. As it\nis found in climates which vary so much as do Alaska and California, it\nwould probably be easy to find one variety, if not two or three, which\nwould thrive in England. It is a particularly fine trout, and the\nordinary maximum weight is five or six pounds, though some of the\nvarieties grow much larger.\nChar, proper, are not at all satisfactory fish to rear. They are very\ndelicate, and require much more care and attention than do any of the\nfish I have already described. From the very first period of their\ncoming under the care of the amateur fish culturist, that is to say,\nfrom the ova, just before hatching out, till they are yearlings, the\nmortality among them will be much greater than in the case of any of the\ntrout.\nThe two kinds of char, most commonly to be obtained by the amateur, are\nthe Alpine and the Windermere char. The ova of these fish will be\nreceived shortly before they are ready to hatch out, as was the case\nwith the trout ova. The amateur's difficulties will, however, begin\nalmost at once, for in the act of hatching out considerable mortality\namong the char often occurs. Trout almost invariably emerge from the egg\ntail first. As soon as the tail is free the little fish begins to move\nit rapidly, using it as a propeller with which to swim about and thus\nsoon works completely out of the egg. Occasionally, however, trout\nhatch out head first, and in these cases the young fish generally dies\nbefore it can set itself free from the coverings of the ovum. Buckland\nobserved that the alevins of the char very frequently hatch out head\nfirst, and consequently that many of them die before they can work\nthemselves free from the eggs. If it were possible to have some one\nconstantly watching the ova at the time that they are hatching out, it\nwould be possible to save a very large proportion of them, as they may\nbe very effectually helped out of the egg with a feather or soft\ncamel's-hair brush; but this is, of course, quite impracticable, unless\nthere is some one constantly watching the ova, as the delay of even a\nfew minutes will mean the death of the fish. This peculiarity in the\nhatching out of the char has also been observed by Mr. J. J. Armistead,\nand I have been able to verify it personally.\nThe mortality which occurs in the actual hatching out of the alevins\ndoes not, however, by any means end the trouble which the fish culturist\nhas to encounter in the rearing of char. They require much more\npersuasion and care when they begin to feed and throughout the whole of\nthe summer. The percentage of deaths is always greater than in the case\nof the trouts, not excluding the _fontinalis_, which is, as I have\nalready explained, not really a trout but a char.\nThough there must be some doubt as to its success, I should like to see\na really serious attempt at introducing char into some deep and large\nponds in the south of England. Char have been very successfully reared\nin shallow water, which was certainly not kept at a particularly low\ntemperature, so I see no reason why this fish should not do in some of\nour more southern waters. One drawback to the chance of this attempt\nbeing made, however, is that the char cannot be considered as being a\nfish which gives very good sport, and I very much doubt whether any one\nis likely to try the experiment simply to find out whether they would or\nwould not succeed in the south of England.\nCHAPTER XII\nSALMON AND SEA-TROUT\nIn many ways nature is apparently very wasteful, and in nothing is this\nmore marked than in the case of the salmon. Probably not more than one\negg in a thousand produces a fish which reaches the smolt stage, and a\nstill smaller proportion grows to the spawning stage. This great\nmortality which occurs among the eggs and young fish when left to nature\nmay be very considerably reduced by artificial means, so that a very\nfair proportion of the eggs deposited by the female fish will not only\nbe hatched out successfully, but the little fish will reach the smolt\nstage safely and have a good chance of reaching the sea. How successful\nartificial intervention may be has been proved over and over again in\nthe United States and in Canada. In the case of more than one river in\nCanada, the artificial propagation and protection of salmon has resulted\nin what is apparently the actual manufacture of a salmon river,\nyielding an annual haul of fish far beyond anything known in Europe,\nfrom a river which before yielded no salmon, or hardly any.\nThese operations, carried out by the State, were of course far beyond\nanything which could be undertaken by the amateur, but I am sure that if\nseveral riparian owners on a salmon river carried on artificial hatching\nand rearing operations for several seasons, a marked increase in the\nnumber of fish in the river would ensue. The objection of most people to\nthis course is that it is unfortunately only too apparent that they are\nbenefiting chiefly, not the rod fisherman, but the netsman at the mouth\nof the river.\nThe different artificial means used to help nature in producing a good\nhead of salmon in a river vary chiefly in the amount of the help given\nby each. It will suffice to say that the best is that which provides for\nthe protection and feeding of the young fish till it is ready to take\nits first journey to the sea. The reason of this is obvious, as every\nday passed in safety is a day gained, both in strength and in power of\nself-preservation.\nThough it is possible to purchase a certain number of salmon ova, this\nis not at all a satisfactory way of obtaining them. To begin with, it is\nimpossible to get them in sufficient numbers to carry out operations on\na large enough scale. Salmon ova are also expensive; and it is no use\nworking with less than half a million in several stations if the river\nis of any size. It is advisable that the ova should be obtained from the\nfish. This may be done either by collecting the ova deposited by the\nfish in the spawning beds or from the gravid females. The latter course\nnecessitates the ripe female and male fish being caught and artificially\nspawned. As in nature, at best but a comparatively small percentage of\nthe ova are impregnated, and by artificial spawning over ninety per\ncent. of them may be successfully hatched out, there can be but little\ndoubt as to which is the better way. It is difficult to make sure of\ncatching the fish just at the time they are ripe, so it is advisable to\nimpound them in a fenced-off portion of the river, where they may be got\nat easily.\nIn the ripe female the ova flow out very readily, and but little\npressure is necessary. Hard pressure on the abdomen should never be\napplied, as it is sure to injure the fish. A ripe female having been\nobtained, from which the ova flow readily, the female is held over a\nperfectly clean tin or earthenware dish--wet, but containing no\nwater--and the ova are caused to flow into it by gently but firmly\npressing the hand on the abdomen, and stroking it down towards the vent.\nMilt from a ripe male fish is then allowed to run over the ova in the\ndish, and is made to run well between them by tilting the dish about\nfrom side to side. The ova will now adhere together, and some water\nshould be added. This water should be poured off and fresh added till\nthe superfluous milt is washed away, when the ova should be left in the\nwater till they separate, which will be in about twenty minutes or half\nan hour.\nThe fertilized ova thus obtained may either be laid down in artificially\nprotected hatching beds, or may be transferred to a hatchery. The latter\nproceeding, of course, requires a hatching house specially built and\narranged, and as this is outside the scope of the present work, I would\nrefer my readers to larger works upon the subject, such as _An Angler's\nParadise_, by J. J. Armistead. Of course, by using a hatchery a large\nnumber of the eggs will be saved, ninety per cent. of them should hatch\nout. This is, therefore, obviously the best way to proceed. A very much\nlarger number of eggs will, however, be hatched out in properly-chosen\nartificial beds than would be the case if they were left to nature.\nThe necessary qualities of a good artificial bed are, a good supply of\nclean water which is not liable if there is a spate to deposit sediment\non the eggs, protection from light, and protection from the many\ncreatures which prey upon the ova. The hatching beds may be so arranged\nthat the young fish may escape as soon as they like after hatching out,\nbut it is best to watch and protect them for at any rate the first few\nweeks after they have begun to feed, and while continuing the feeding,\nto allow those of the fish that wish to escape.\nThe rearing of young salmon and sea-trout is practically the same as\nthat of the common trout, except that they require more water. If kept\nin rearing ponds they grow more quickly than they do when left to find\nfood for themselves. While young, the salmon is marked with transverse\nbars of a darker colour than the rest of the body. During the time it\nbears these marks it is known as a parr.[3] In about fifteen months it\nloses these marks and becomes quite silvery, being now known as a smolt.\nShortly after assuming the smolt dress, the young salmon takes its\ndeparture to the sea. In some cases the young salmon do not appear to go\ndown to the sea till over two years after being hatched out, but they\nshould always be set at liberty in March, April, or May in the year\nfollowing that in which they were hatched out, according to how far they\nhave developed the smolt or silver appearance.\n[3] All the trouts go through this stage, which is distinguished by\n\"finger marks\" upon the sides.\nIf spring water is obtainable, particularly if the water, as is usually\nthe case, is of an even temperature throughout the year, the troubles of\nthe fish culturist are considerably lessened. Without a building for the\nhatching troughs it is almost impossible in many places to guard against\nfrost unless such a spring is available. Sediment may be avoided by\nputting frames covered with flannel at the inlets to the hatching beds,\nthese will, if kept clean, prevent any sediment from coming into the\nponds, and will allow plenty of water to flow in. If hatching trays are\nnot used, the bottom of the artificial bed should be covered with clean\ngravel.\nThe time which elapses from the impregnation of the eggs to their\nhatching out varies according to the temperature of the water, a fairly\naverage time is about ninety days. The ova should be watched during this\ntime, and the dead ones removed. For a short time after they are\nimpregnated they are fairly hardy, but from then till shortly before\nthey hatch out the very slightest concussion will kill or seriously\ninjure them.\nThe management of sea-trout ova is similar to that of salmon, and the\nova are obtained in the same way. As in the case of the salmon it is\nbest to rear the little fish artificially, till they are ready to go\ndown to the sea; they will thus escape dangers likely to cause the loss\nof about eighty per cent. of their number.\nThe same methods and the same precautions as advised in the chapters on\nrearing trout should be adopted in the case of salmon and sea-trout as\nfar as is possible, and if this is done a very large percentage of the\nova should be successfully reared to the smolt stage.\nCHAPTER XIII\nCOARSE FISH\nCompared to what is known about the early part of the life history of\nthe _Salmonid\u00e6_, our knowledge of coarse fish is small. Fortunately,\nhowever, such lengthy and complicated proceedings as are necessary to\nobtain a good stock of trout are not necessary to obtain a good stock of\ncoarse fish. If even a few rudd, perch, dace, pike, or carp are put into\nwater where they have a good supply of food to begin with, and which is\nsuitable otherwise for their well-being, the amateur's chief trouble\nafter a few years, if the water is not heavily fished, will be to keep\ndown the stock of coarse fish in proportion to the supply of food.\nI have seen many cases where rudd, perch, dace and carp have increased\nto an enormous extent from a few fish introduced into the water. Some\nfour years ago we put a few small rudd into a mill-pond at home,\nthinking that the fry they produced would serve admirably as food to the\ntrout which also inhabited the pond. In about twenty months the pond was\nfull of small rudd, and last year we netted out many hundred, as the\nwater was terribly over-stocked with them. The same thing has happened\nin almost every case which has come to my knowledge; that is, of course,\nwhere the waters have been stocked with food, and suitable to the fish\nintroduced.\nThe way in which dace will increase when put into a suitable water is,\nif possible, even more remarkable than what happens in the case of the\nrudd. I will quote one instance, which proves this very conclusively. A\nfew years ago there were no dace in the Sussex Ouse. Pike fishermen,\nhowever, used to bring live dace to use as baits. Some of these escaped,\nor were set free by the fishermen at the end of their day's fishing, and\nnow the Sussex Ouse contains more dace for its size than any other river\nI have ever seen.\nWhile rudd thrive best in a pond or lake into which a stream flows, dace\nrequire a river or stream to do well. They will, however, thrive and\nincrease rapidly in a river where trout are not a success. A muddy\nbottom with occasional quickly running shallows, seem to constitute the\nbest kind of water for dace. The largest, and by far the best\nconditioned dace I have seen, have come from the tidal parts of rivers,\nwhere the water is brackish at high water. Dace from such a water have\nalso the advantage of being very good eating, as they have, as a rule,\nnot got the unpleasant muddy taste usual in this fish.\nPerch and pike will thrive both in rivers and in ponds or lakes which\nhave a supply of water from a stream or from springs. They both increase\nin numbers very rapidly, and when protected, are more likely to require\nthinning down every few years, than artificial assistance from the\namateur.\nThe king-carp is the best fish for the amateur who wishes to obtain good\nbottom fishing from an absolutely stagnant pond. This fish is much\nbolder and a more free feeder than the common carp. It increases so\nrapidly in numbers, and is a hard fighting and lively fish.\nMost of the coarse fish deposit a much larger number of eggs than do any\nof the _Salmonid\u00e6_--that is to say, in proportion to their size. In\nstocking a water which contains no fish, the amateur may wish to hurry\non the process of nature in the case of coarse fish; and, fortunately,\nthis is fairly easily managed. In the case of perch, rudd, pike, and\ncarp, but little change of water is required to hatch out the eggs. The\neggs of these fish take but a short time to hatch; and if they are\nprotected, and this protection is also given to the little fish for a\nfew weeks, it will generally be found that an amply sufficient result is\nobtained. The eggs should be spread out carefully on wicker-work or the\nlids of baskets and kept in the light. A trickle of water which is\nsufficient to change the body of water in the pond in which the ova are\nput will, as a rule, be enough. The amateur must be careful that the\npond in which he hatches the eggs does not contain any of the many\nenemies I have described in former chapters. If it is at all possible to\nprotect the eggs and the little fish, it is best to hatch out the eggs\nin the pond which it is intended to stock, for it is exceedingly\ndifficult to keep the newly-hatched fish in a rearing-pond on account of\ntheir very small size. It will be necessary to use muslin or flannel\nscreens instead of perforated zinc. Care must be taken that there is not\ntoo great a flow of water, as this will cause the little fish to be\ndrowned at the outlet screen.\nAPPENDIX\nTHE USE OF EARTH IN REARING PONDS\n[From a correspondence upon the subject which appeared in _Land and\nWater_]\nSIR,--In your last issue I have read with pleasure the eminently\npractical notes on fish culture by Mr. Charles Walker. He is perfectly\nright in all he says with reference to the useful and preventive results\nof the use of \"common garden\" earth, or vegetable mould in checking any\nfungoid development, _Saprolegnia_ or other. It must, however, be\nadmitted that the said addition is not an element of beauty in a box;\ntherefore it should be avoided, or only used when necessity dictates.\nHowever, the fry, when thoroughly restored to health, may be transferred\nby muslin net to another box free from earth should it be necessary to\ncount out certain numbers for the satisfaction of customers' orders.\nAgain, the earth employed may, and in some waters does, give rise to\nother ill effects on the health of the \"fry\" or young fishes. Affection\nof the eye is not unheard of as the result of over-use of earth. Perhaps\nthe best way to obviate any trouble of this nature would be to pound and\ndry the earth, and keep it in a canister or other closed vessel till\nrequired for use. Spores of fungi are nearly, if not quite, omnipresent;\nand their effects are so insidious that too many precautions cannot\nwell be taken to avert the introduction of \"trouble\" in the hatchery.\nIndeed, were it not for the risks arising from attacks of fungi,\npisciculture, as now understood and carried on, would be an unalloyed\npleasure and unbounded success. We can practically hatch 995 out of\n1,000 eggs, or thereabouts. It is the risks of rearing that stand in our\nroad, and these, as time goes on, and experience increases, must\ndiminish. There would appear, then, to be a good time coming for fish\nculture, and those who earnestly follow it.\nPractice is the only safe guide, as circumstances, geological, physical,\nand meteorological so vary the conditions of works that no definite rule\nof procedure will avail. Earnest work and close observation, combined\nwith ready resource, are the only safe guides to success. Troubles of\nsome sort are sure to supervene; the man who succeeds is he who can\nanticipate, and so remedy them. To be always on the watch and notice the\nfirst indication is a very safe maxim, more easy to inculcate than to\nput in practice.\nThere can be no question but that the practical removal of difficulties\nin the path of fish culture is work of the highest value, well worthy\nthe attention and acknowledgment of those in authority at Whitehall and\nelsewhere at home, as has been the case abroad.\nSIR,--Your correspondent \"C. C. C.\" in _Land and Water_ of last week\ndisagrees with the constant and free use of earth, which I had advocated\nin my article on fish culture which appeared the preceding week.\nNaturally one must admit that earth at the bottom of a pond is not so\ngreat an element of beauty as is clean gravel, but the advantages are so\nmany, that beauty must give way to usefulness. Besides this, \"C. C. C.\"\nmust know that it is almost impossible to keep the gravel clean enough\nto look pretty, when the water is inhabited by a large number of little\nfish which are being constantly fed. I cannot at all agree with his\nadvice that \"earth should be avoided, or only used when necessity\ndictates.\" I believe that one of the first principles of success in fish\nculture is always to prevent any disease or mishap, rather than to wait\nfor, and then try to remedy it. Trout in their natural surroundings get\na dose of earth every time that there is a spate. It is very evident\nthat the earth contains some ingredients which are not only beneficial\nbut almost a necessity to the fish.\nI have never heard of earth as an actual cure for \"fungus\" and should\nhardly think that it is active enough. There is, however, no doubt that\nit is one of the best preventatives to \"fungus,\" for if it is properly\nand freely used it stops all chance of any decomposing material being\nexposed to the action of the water, and laying the fish open to the\nchance of a great many evils.\nIf suitable earth is used once a week, and even oftener on occasions, it\ncan do no harm, and will keep the fish safe from a great many risks\nbesides doing them very material good. I do not of course mean that the\nusual weekly dose should be a large one, as this would fill up the pond\nbefore the end of the season, but that a small dose should be given\ngenerally, and a large dose occasionally. I am quite sure, too, that\nclean earth with some nice weeds growing in it, looks better than gravel\nwhich is dirty. Gravel shows the dirt so much, that it is almost\nimpossible to keep it looking nice where there are many fish, and it\nalso gives the water free access to any decomposing matter.\nI have never come across a case of disease caused by the use of earth,\nand should like to hear the details of \"C. C. C.'s\" experiences with\nregard to this matter.\nCHARLES WALKER.\n  Advantages of rainbow trout, 72-5\n  Air bubble in yolk sac, 40\n  Alders round rearing ponds, 32\n    at water side, importance of, 19\n  Alevins, 39-41\n    diseases of, 40-1\n  Alpine char, 78\n  American brook trout, 15\n    rearing of, 75-6\n    spawning of, 76\n  Aquatic creatures, serving as food for fish, 10-2, 62-6\n  Aquatic plants suitable for deep water, 13\n    suitable for margins, 13\n  Aquatic vegetation, importance of, 7\n    development of, 9\n  Arrangement of rearing boxes, 34\n  Artificial spawning of salmon, 83-4\n  _Asellus aquaticus_, 65\n  Black spotted trout of the Rocky Mountains, 76-8\n  Blue swelling, 41\n  Breeding char, difficulties in, 78-80\n  Breeding.

As  a  gen\u00ac \neral  rule,  copy  will  be  printed  in  conformity  with  this  Style  Manual, \nunless  otherwise  authorized  by  the  Public  Printer. \nCopy  should  be  carefully  edited  in  accordance  with  the  style  here \nlaid  down  before  being  sent  to  the  Government  Printing  Office. \nChanges  on  proof  sheets  add  greatly  to  the  expense  and  delay  the  work. \nCopy  should  be  sent  flat,  with  the  sheets  numbered  consecutively, \nand  typewritten,  if  possible,  on  one  side  of  the  paper  only  unless \nreprint.  If  both  sides  of  reprint  copy  are  to  be  used,  a  duplicate \nmust  be  furnished  if  available. \nEach page should begin with a paragraph. If a paragraph runs over to another sheet, the sheets will be cut and pasted by the copy editor to retain the paragraph intact.\n\nTabular matter should be written on sheets separate from the text, as it is handled separately during composition.\n\nLegible copy, not faint carbon copies, must be furnished. This is most essential for copy in foreign languages and copy containing figures.\n\nProper names, foreign words, and technical terms should be written plainly and verified. Signatures and figures should be written plainly.\n\nManuscript and typewritten copy in a foreign language should be marked accurately to show capitalization, punctuation, accents, etc.\n\nReference marks in text and tables should be arranged consecutively from left to right across each page. (See table, p. 86.)\nText figures and illustrations in manuscripts should be accompanied by the name of the publication and figure or plate number. The proper place for each text figure should be indicated by inserting its number and title on the copy. A requisition for work containing illustrations must be accompanied by a letter certifying that the illustrations are necessary and relate entirely to the transaction of public business (U.S.C., title 44, sec. 118). The total number of illustrations and the processes of reproduction desired should also be indicated. Instructions for enlargement or reduction should be given on the margin of each illustration. If a publication is composed of several parts, a scheme of the desired arrangement must accompany the first installment of the copy.\nSamples should be furnished if possible. They should be plainly marked, showing whether they illustrate the desired style of type, size of type, page, paper, trim, lettering, or binding. All corrections should be made on first proofs submitted, as later proofs are intended for verification only. Plate corrections will be made only when absolutely necessary.\n\nSuggestions to Authors and Editors\n\nCorrections should be marked on the margins of a proof sheet opposite the indicated errors, not by writing over the print or between the lines. All queries on proof must be answered.\n\nCorrections in proofs read by authors or department readers must be indicated as follows:\n\n0 Period.\nf Comma.\n- Hyphen.\nE Colon.\nf Semicolon.\nApostrophe.\nQuotations.\n* & Em quadrat.\nsm One-em dash.\nmv Two-em parallel dash.\n^ Push down space.\nO Close up.\nLess space.\ny\\ Caret \u2014 left out, insert.\nTurn to proper position.

C: It does not appear that the earliest printers had a method/ofcorrecting errors before the form was on the press. The learned correctors of the first two centuries of printing were not proofreaders in our sense. They were chiefly to see that the proof corresponded to the copy, but that the printed page was correct.\nIn its antiquity, they paid little heed to orthography or purely printed errors. When the text seemed wrong to them, they consulted fresh authorities or altered it on their own responsibility. Good proofs, in the modern sense, were possible only when professional readers were employed - men who had a printer's education and then spent many years in the correction of proof. The orthography of English, which for the past century has undergone little change, was very fluctuating until after the publication of Johnson\u2019s Dictionary. Capitals, which have been used with considerable regularity for the past 80 years, were previously used erratically. The approach to regularity, as far as we have may be attributed to the growth of a class of professional proofreaders.\nIt is to them that we owe the correctness of modern printing. More errors have been found in the Bible than in any other work. For many generations, Bibles were brought out stealthily, out of fear of governmental interference. They were frequently printed from imperfect texts and were often modified to meet the views of those who published them. The story is related of a certain woman, the wife of a printer in Germany, who had become disgusted with the continual assertion of the superiority of man over woman which she had heard. Hurrying into the composing room while her husband was at supper, she altered a sentence in the Bible, which he was printing, so that it read \"And he shall be thy fool\" instead of the verse's original meaning.\nThe word \"Anot\" was omitted by Barker, the Ring's printer in En-1-632, in printing the seventh commandment. He was fined \u00a3EOOO on this account.\n\nThe initial capital letter is all that remains of our originally all-capital alphabet. It survives because it serves a definite purpose, such as introducing a sentence or an enumeration, distinguishing an individual within a class, or indicating preeminence or respect or distinction attaching to a certain individual, position, or object. By thus emphasizing words, the capital letter helps the reader to grasp their significance more readily. Purpose, therefore, rather than mere opinion, is the logical criterion in deciding whether a particular word should be capitalized. (See also Abbreviations; list on pp. 24-40)\nThe fundamental principle underlying rules for capitalization in the English language is that proper nouns and proper adjectives are capitalized, and common nouns and common adjectives are not. The difficulty in applying this principle lies in the fact that some nouns and adjectives are construed as proper in certain connections and common in others. It is impossible to give rules that will cover every conceivable problem, but by considering the purpose to be served and the fundamental principle, a considerable degree of uniformity can be attained.\n\nThe list of approved usages given on pages 24-40 will serve as a reference guide. Manifestly, such a list cannot be complete. However, the correct usage with respect to any term not included can be determined by analogy or by application of the rules or the fundamental principle.\n\nProper names: Page\nRules for Proper Names:\n1.

In the absence of a decision by the Geographic Board, the United States Postal Guide is to be used for names in the United States and its possessions, and the rules of the Board are to be followed.\nIn the spelling of foreign names, refer to the First Report on Foreign Geographic Names (1932). If the decisions or rules of the Geographic Board allow the use of either the local official form or the conventional English form, it is the prerogative of the originating office to select the most suitable form. Therefore, in marking copy or reading proof, it is required only to verify or correct the spelling of the particular form used.\n\nSpelling:\nTransliterations:\n1. In the spelling of nongeographic words transliterated from Chinese, Japanese, or other languages that do not have a Latin alphabet, copy is to be followed literally. (Countries that do not use a Latin alphabet are marked with an asterisk in the table on p. 154.)\n2. In Indian words, including tribal and other proper names, copy should be followed.\nThe text is already clean and perfectly readable, as it consists only of a list of words.

But the process, in general for want of guiding principles, has been both haphazard and erratic. Consequently, current usage abounds in inconsistencies, and authorities do not agree.\nA compound word conveys a single, clear idea not expressed by the component words in sequence. The hyphen in a compound word is a mark of punctuation that both unites and separates the components, enhancing understanding, readability, and correct pronunciation. The formation of all compounds hinges on answering two questions:\n\n(1) Is a compound word necessary?\nA compound word is necessary only if the intended meaning is not clearly conveyed by the same words in disconnected sequence.\n\n(2) Should the compound word be hyphenated or solid?\nA compound word should be hyphenated only if a hyphen is required to clarify meaning, improve readability, or ensure proper pronunciation; otherwise, it should be solid.\n\nSince the formation of compounds is an ongoing process.\nAdopting new word forms to meet new requirements, mere word lists can never be complete or satisfactory. Principles are the only logical criteria for compounding. In the interest of uniformity, compounding and the use of the hyphen in compounding are to be governed by the following principles and rules:\n\nCompounding:\nGeneral rules (rules 43, 43a) -\nUse of the hyphen in compounding:\nRules applying to all parts of speech (rules 44, 45) -\nCompound nouns (rules 46-48a) -\nCompound adjectives (rules 49, 50) -\nCompounds other than nouns and adjectives (rule 52) -\nElliptical compounds (rule 53) -\nScientific terms (rule 54) -\nCivil and military titles (rule 55) -\nFractions (rule 56) -\nIdiomatic phrases (rule 57) -\nCompounds and suffixes (rules 58-58c) - I\n\nCompound Words\nCompounding\n(Rules for the hyphen are indicated in parentheses)\n\nGeneral rules\n43. Two or more words are compounded either to express a unit idea (literal or nonliteral) or to avoid ambiguity.

(See Guide to Compounding, p. 165.)\n\nNouns joined (italicized noun functioning as prefix or suffix): birthplace, landowner, copyholder, bookcase, teakettle, radiotelegram, footman, brickmaker, ironmonger, doorway, hriekmaking, clergywoman.\n\nNouns not joined (meaning clear without compounding): abiding place, boy, king, navy yard, binding tape, day labor, post office, dining room, fellow citizen, school board, printing office, government employee, telegraph pole, training camp, insurance office, title page, working day, member state, wave length.\n\nRules applying to all parts of speech:\n44. A hyphen is used:\n(\u0430) To avoid doubling a vowel or tripling a consonant.\nCompounds and Hyphens:\n\n(a) Thimble-eye, brass-smith, ball-like, asses\u2019 eyes, head-on.\n(b) To ensure ready intelligibility.\n(c) U-boat, X-ray, T-shaped, make-believe (n.), blue-pencil (v.), know-it-all (n).\n\nA derivative of a compound retains the form of the original compound: hammer-hardened, outlawry, cold-bloodedness, ill-advisedly.\n\nCompound words:\nCompound nouns:\n\n(d) To join the elements of an improvised compound.\n\nForty-five. A compound noun retains the form of the original compound: hammer-hardened, outlawry, cold-bloodedness, ill-advisedly.\n\nCompound nouns:\nForty-six. A hyphen is used in a compound noun containing an adverb as its second element; also in a compound noun consisting of three or more words. (Solid compound words used to form other compounds should not be broken apart under the second clause of this rule\u2014for example, north-northeast; see also rule 47.)\n\nFlare-back, forget-me-not (plant), go-between, man-of-war (warship), hold-up, mother-in-law, looker-on, jack-in-the-box (toy)\nA hyphen is used in compound numbers, in compound titles, in compound units of measurement, in complex terms of compass direction, and in other complex compounds.\ntwenty-one light-year north-northeast\nsecretary-treasurer horsepower-hour great-grandfather\n\nA compound noun not hyphened under the above rules is written as a solid word. (The elements italicized in the following examples are typical of a large group of words that commonly function as prefixes or suffixes.)\nairship\nfrisbee\nbookcase\nroad side\nplaything\ndoorway\nnewspaper\nonlooker\nteakettle\npenholder\nbrickmaker\nbrickmaking\ncopyholder\nZadyfinger\nradiotelegram\nhuckleberry\nironmonger\ngentlewoman\n\nA compound containing a possessive noun as one of its elements is written as a solid word without an apostrophe unless an apostrophe and a hyphen are needed to ensure intelligibility.\nCompound adjectives:\n49. A compound adjective in which the second element is a participle or a coined adjective in the form of a participle is hyphened unless derived from a solid compound (see rule 45); other compound adjectives are written as solid words unless a hyphen is required.\ngood-looking, bell-shaped, ill-advised, wind-blown, T-shaped, chicken-hearted, cold-blooded, whole-souled, high-minded, light-fingered, childlike, fireproof, headlong, bloodthirsty, praiseworthy\n\n50. Compound color terms are hyphened.\nblue-green, chocolate-brown, but bluish green, orange-red, milk-white, dark green\n\nCompound words:\nUnit modifiers:\n51.

The text is a list of symbols standards published by the American Standards Association (ASA) and a brief explanation of punctuation.

In speech, pauses and emphasis serve the same purpose.\nEither punctuation or pauses, if wrongly placed, may alter the sense.\nWell-planned word order requires a minimum of punctuation. The trend toward less punctuation calls for skillful phrasing to avoid ambiguity and ensure exact interpretation.\n\nThe punctuation required in well-phrased text should aid clarity. If the use of a punctuation mark is in doubt, the question to be asked is \u201cWhy?\u201d rather than \u201cWhy not?\u201d If doubt persists, the mark should be omitted to aid the smooth flow of words. Marks interrupt. They are needed only to make the thought clearer or to facilitate oral expression. Beyond that they are detrimental to speed, ease, and exactness of understanding.\n\nRules for punctuation may be arbitrary in origin and may be observed from habit or inertia. Moreover, rules cannot be devised to meet all exigencies in the limitless variety of word sequence; hence principles must govern.\nAt each critical point in a sentence, there may be a choice of punctuation. The following brief summary of the functions of punctuation marks, in order of decreasing break, may prove helpful:\n\nThe period marks a full break or complete stop.\nThe dash, parenthesis, bracket, and comma allow the interpolation of extraneous matter in the main text.\nMarks of ellipsis break the continuity of the text to indicate an omission.\nThe colon introduces the text that follows it but does not necessarily break the continuity of the thought.\nThe semicolon breaks the text with somewhat more force than the comma and should not be used where a comma will suffice.\nThe comma - the least break in the text - prevents ambiguity by setting off items in sequence where a false connection might otherwise be imputed.\nQuotation marks, question marks, exclamation points, apostrophes,\nThe principles governing the use of punctuation are: if it does not clarify the text, it should be omitted, and the sole aim in choosing and placing punctuation marks is to bring out more clearly the author's thought.\n\nApostrophe (rules 99, 100):\n99.

Marks of ellipsis (asterisks or periods, according to the nature of the text) are used to indicate the omission of part of a quotation. Three asterisks, separated by an em quad, are used to denote an ellipsis in text; if periods are used instead of asterisks, they are separated by an en quad. Neither asterisks nor periods are overrun at the end of a paragraph.\n\nIn document measure, \u201cline of stars\u201d means seven asterisks indented 2 ems at each end of the line, with the remaining space divided.\nThe exclamation point is used to mark surprise, incredulity, admiration, or appeal, which may be expressed even in a declarative or interrogative sentence. He acknowledged the error! How beautiful! \u201cGreat!\u201d he shouted. What! Who shouted, \u201cAll aboard!\u201d (Note: omission of question mark.) In direct address, either to a person or a personified object, an exclamation point is used without it, but if strong feeling is expressed, an exclamation point is placed at the end of the expression.

Quotation marks are not used to enclose complete letters having date and signature, or quotations that are indented or set in smaller type.\n119. Punctuation marks should be placed inside the quotation marks if they are a part of the quoted matter; otherwise, they are placed outside.\n\nRuth said, \u201cI think so.\u201d\nThe trainman shouted, \u201cAll aboard!\u201d\nWho asked, \u201cWhy?\u201d\nThe President suggests seeking an early occasion. The commissioner claimed the award was unjustified. His exact words were: \"The facts in the case prove otherwise.\"1\n\n120. In a citation, the period and quotation marks should precede the footnote reference number.\n121. If poetry is quoted, each verse should start with quotation marks, but only the last verse should end with them. The lines of the poem should range on the left, those that rhyme taking the same indentation, and the quotation marks should be cleared.\n\n\"Rest is not quitting\nThe busy career;\nRest is the fitting\nOf self to one's sphere.\n\n\u2019Tis the brook's motion,\nClear without strife,\nFleeing to ocean\nAfter its life.\" \u2014 John Sullivan Dwight.\n\nSemicolon\n122. The semicolon is used \u2014\nTo separate phrases containing commas: other minerals of this stage are dolomite in small rhombic crystals, celestite in slender prisms and radial aggregates, and sylvanite in small prismatic crystals. Reptiles, amphibians, and predatory mammals swallow their prey whole or in large pieces, bones included; waterfowl habitually take shellfish entire; and gallinaceous birds are provided with gizzards that grind up the hardest seeds.\n\nTo separate statements that are too closely related in meaning to be written as separate sentences: it is true in peace, it is true in war.\n\n123. The semicolon is to be avoided where a comma will suffice.\n124. Single punctuation is used wherever possible without ambiguity.\n\nSir: Joseph replied, \"It is not worth while.\"\n\nTabular work. (See also Abbreviations; Leader Work)\nRules for tabular composition: The objective is to present information in a concise and orderly manner, impossible to convey as clearly in any other way. Rules for tabular composition are based on the principle that tables should be clear and easy to read. The text style for tables, as given in other sections of this manual, applies unless necessary deviations are required due to table form or purpose. Special features of tabular composition and necessary deviations from text style are outlined in the following rules:\n\nAbbreviations (rules 125-127)\nCenter heads, flush heads, and subheads (rules 142-147)\nContinued heads (rules 150, 151)\nDashes or rules (rules 152-154)\nDate columns (rules 155-160)\nDouble-up tables (rules 172, 173)\nFigure columns (rules 174-179)\nFootnotes and references (rules 180-194)\nRules:\n\nAbbreviations:\n125. In a reading column, the names of months, some with the day and some standing alone, are all spelled if the width permits.\n126. In columns containing names of persons, copy is followed as to abbreviations of given names, but well-known abbreviations of such names are used if necessary to save overruns.\n127. Periods are not used after abbreviations followed by leaders, but are used before footnote references.\n128. An en quad is used for bear-off \u2014 from the rule on the left in an inside reading column, from the rule on the right in an inside figure.\nColumns: From both rules in an inside date column, and from the adjacent rule in an outside date column. In a crowded table, the bear-off may be omitted in figure columns (See rule 174).\n\nTabular Work\n\nBlanks:\n1. Blank lines are omitted unless their retention is specifically requested.\n2. Periods are omitted after box heads, but a dash is used after any box head that reads into the matter below.\n3. Box heads are set solid and bear off an em space above and below rule unless they run up.\n4. Box heads are centered, except that in a column 10 ems or more in width, a head making three lines or more is set with hanging indentation.\n5. Box heads run crosswise wherever practical; if necessary to run up, they are reduced to the minimum practicable depth. If one head must run up, all heads over figure columns in the same table are also run up.\nRun-up should be avoided above reading and date columns. Box heads do not need to run up in all sections of divided tables.\n\n134. Indent pun-up heads an en quad at the beginning of the line and bear off an en quad from the top rule. If they make two lines, the second is centered; if three lines, they are set with hanging indentation.\n\n135. If a single box exceeds the depth of a double or triple box, the extra space is placed in the lowermost box.\n\n136. In compound boxes, the greatest number of lines in a top box determines the depth of all the top boxes, unless doing so would increase the total depth of the head. The same rule applies to each of the other boxes. The top box of a triple box head may be of such depth as to make a better appearance by aligning its bottom rule with the bottom rule of the second box.\nEmployed boys and girls, age at beginning of regular work and sex, total Number Percent distribution:\n\nJune to August Number Percent distribution:\nNumber Percent\n\nSeptember to May Number Percent distribution:\nNumber Percent\n\nNot reported Number Percent distribution:\nNumber Percent\n\nInstructions:\n1. In boxes containing two lines, the first line is to be the longer if possible, but good appearance must not be sacrificed by dividing short words or making two-letter divisions in wide columns.\n2. In parallel tables, a box head that is divided is repeated on each page. Words are preferably not divided between pages in heads over parallel tables.\n3. In referring to quantity or things, the word number in box heads is spelled if possible.\n4. In an 8-point table with a 6-point box head, an 8-point quad is used.\nLine is inserted between head and body of table if no italic unit of quantity is given. If a unit of quantity is given, a 6-point quad line is used.\n\nTabular Work\n\nBraces:\n141. Braces are avoided if possible; if used, they are preferably placed on the right of a rule and should extend to include overruns.\n142. Center heads over tables are set solid over solid tables and ledded over leaded tables; they follow the same general style as the tables as to the use of figures and abbreviations.\n143. Punctuation is omitted after center heads. Flush heads and subheads are followed by a colon, but a dash is used after any head that reads into the matter below.\n144. A full quad line is placed above all center heads in the stub, including years used as heads in reading columns. However, if a year is the only word in a cell, no quad line is used.\n145. If the center head clears the reading matter below, and there are leaders, no space is used below the head; if there are no leaders below and the center head clears at least an em, the quad line is omitted, but if it clears less than an em, a full quad line is used; otherwise a full quad line is used below the head.\n\n146. If center heads appear in figure columns, a quad line is placed above but no space below.\n\n147. Where the logical construction of a table requires, it is permissible to insert page-width lines between cross rules within the table to indicate class groups to which the data refer. The box head is not repeated.\n\n148. Where the first number in a column or under a cross rule is\nA decimal requires a cipher at its left decimal point. When the word \"none\" or a cipher is used in figure columns, \"copy\" is followed. If neither appears, leaders are inserted. In columns under the heading \u00a3s.d., one cipher is supplied under s. and one under d., unless only shillings are given, in which case one cipher is supplied under d. The use of ciphers on the right under the heading Ft. in. and after a decimal point depends on the nature of the work but they will be used unless otherwise requested. In a column containing sums of money, the period and ciphers are omitted if the column consists entirely of even dollars.\n\nIn continued heads, an em dash is used between the head and the word \"Continued.\" The abbreviations \"Contd.\" or \"Con.\" are used only.\nTo avoid an overrun. If the head is in small caps, the term \"continued,\" \"contd.,\" or \"con.\" is not capitalized. The term is set in roman.\n\n151. Continued heads over tables are to be condensed into one line if possible. If heads to tables or box heads have a reference and footnote, the reference is not repeated in the continued head. Notes above tables (see rule 197) are not generally repeated with continued heads unless necessary to make the table clear.\n\nTabular work\n\nDashes or rules\n\n152. Rules may be used in place of dashes in a crowded table.\n153. Dashes or rules are not carried in reading or date columns.\n154. Parallel dashes are used to cut off figures from other figures below that are added or subtracted; also above a grand total.\n155. Date columns with month and day are cast 4% ems for outlay.\nIn columns and 5 ems for inside columns; with month, day, and year, 7 ems and 7 percent ems. The figures are aligned on the right, and any extra space is inserted between the month and day. An en comma is used between the day and the year.\n\n156. In a date column of 4.5 ems that is the first column of a table, the month is cleared instead of being repeated or indicated by Do.\n157. A date column is not considered a reading column, and no period is used after the date if the column is the last one of the table.\n158. Footnote references in date columns are placed at the right.\n159. If the date column is the last column, the references are placed at the left.\n160. In columns consisting entirely of single and double years, the years are centered.\nfigures are centered in the columns without leaders.\n\n161. The abbreviation do is used in reading and date columns only, lower-cased if preceded by leaders, otherwise capitalized; but all do\u2019s should be uniform as to capitalization in any one column.\n162. Do is not used in the first line under a center head in the column in which the center head occurs, under a line of leaders, or in a reading column containing only short words such as Yes and No; it may be used, however, under a blank space.\n163. Do does not apply to a reference mark on the preceding item. The reference mark, if needed, is added to the do.\n164. Do under a braced group relates only to the last item of the group.\n165. Leaders are not used before Do in the first column nor before or after Do in the last column.\n166. In a first column, 6 ems or less in width (ems of quads are)\n167. In a first or last column, more than 6 ems in width, 2 ems of quads are used before Do.; in all other columns, more than 6 ems in width, 2% ems of leaders are used. If the preceding line is indented, the indention of Do. is increased accordingly.\n\n168. In a stub do., followed by 2 ems of leaders, is used under a unit of quantity if the unit is spelled out; if the unit is abbreviated, the abbreviation is repeated. (See rule 209.)\n\n169. In folio-lit matter, inverted commas may be used instead of do.\n\nTABULAR WORK\n\nDollar mark\n\n170. The dollar mark is placed close to the figure; it is used only at the head of the table and under cross rules. In columns containing mixed amounts (as money, tons, gallons), the dollar mark,\nA pound mark, peso mark, or other symbol is repeated before each sum of money; however, if several sums of money are grouped together and added to make a total, the symbol is placed at the top of the group only.\n\n171. In a single money column containing double rows of figures, dollar marks are required in both rows, but only on the first line.\n\n172. If the matter under a center head, flush head, or subhead breaks and is carried over to the second part of a double-up table, a continued head is inserted at the top of the second part. (See 173.)\n\n173. An en-quad bear-off is used on each side of the parallel rule separating the two parts of a double-up table. This applies also to leaders and dashes in the last column of the first part, but not to rules in box heads.\n\nFigure columns.\n174. Figures align on the right in a crowded table. In a table with en-quad bear-offs, if only a few figures will touch the rule on the left, it is preferable to retain the bear-off on the right for the entire table, including all parts of a divided table.\n\n175. In double rows of figures in a single column, connected by a dash, a plus or minus sign, or the word \"to\" or a similar connecting word, the dashes, signs, or words are usually aligned.\n\n176. Plus or minus signs at the left of figures are placed close to the figures, regardless of alignment.\n\n177. Words and roman numerals in figure columns are aligned on the right with the figures; letters and symbols are centered in the columns.\n\n178. Figures expressing mixed units of quantity (feet, dollars, etc.) are aligned on the right.\nDecimal points are aligned except in columns containing numbers that refer to mixed units (such as pounds, dollars, and percentages) and have irregular decimals. Copy editors should indicate at the top of each column the number of decimal places required; in a continued or double-up table, the maker-up should transpose the space so that all columns have an even number of decimal places offset.\n\nFootnotes and references (see also Headnotes)\n\nFigures are used for footnote references, but if figures might lead to ambiguity (for example, in connection with a chemical formula), letters, asterisks, daggers, etc., may be used instead.\n\nIf a reference is repeated on another page, it may carry the original footnote; but, to prevent repetition, especially of a long note, it may carry instead, as a cross reference, the words \"See footnote [number].\"\n\nTabular Work\n182. References to footnotes are numbered consecutively across the page from left to right and across both pages in a parallel table. Footnotes to a parallel table begin on the even page, unless there are no references on that page.\n\n183. Footnote references are placed at the right in reading columns and date columns and are borne off. If a date column is the last column, however, the references are placed at the left.\n\n184. In a figure column or date column, a reference letter standing alone in parentheses is centered; in a reading column, it is set at the left and is followed by leaders, as if it were a word.\n\n185. The footnotes are placed immediately beneath the table. If the table runs over more than one page, the appropriate footnotes go with each page.\n186. If the footnotes to both table and text fall together at the bottom of a page, the footnotes to the table are placed above the footnotes to the text. The two groups are separated by a 60-point rule flush on the left.\n187. Footnotes are set as paragraphs, but two or more short footnotes may be combined by the typesetter in one line, with the blank spaces equalized, provided the spaces are not less than 2 ems. In a series of short footnotes, the reference numbers are aligned on the right.\n188. Footnotes wider than the document may be doubled up.\n189. The footnotes and notes referring to a table are set solid if the table is solid and leaded if the table is leaded.\n190. Footnotes and notes referring to tables are usually set in type 2 points smaller than the table but not smaller than 6-point.\n[191. The same abbreviations are used in the footnotes as in the table.\n192. In footnotes, numbers are expressed in figures, even at the beginning of a note or sentence.\n193. If a footnote consists entirely or partly of a table, the footnote table is set the full width of the text. It should always be preceded by introductory matter carrying the reference number; if necessary, copy editor should add an introductory line, such as U1 See the following table.\n194. An explanatory paragraph without specific reference but belonging to the table rather than the text follows the footnotes, if any, and is separated from them or from the table by two leads.\n195. Em fractions are set flush to the rule on the right; en fractions bear off as usual. Whole numbers clear the fractions throughout the columns except in columns containing numbers that refer to mixed]\n\nFractions: Em fractions are set flush to the right rule; en fractions bear off as usual. Whole numbers clear the fractions throughout the columns except in columns containing numbers that refer to mixed.\nUnits (such as pounds, dollars, and percentage). Copy editors should indicate at the top of each column the necessary symbols for fractions; in a continued or double-up table, the maker-up should transpose the space so that all columns have an even number of columns with a bearing-off only. (See 196. Fractions standing alone are expressed in figures, even at the beginning of a line.\n\nTabular Work\n\nHeadnotes\n1.97. Headnotes above tables are enclosed in brackets and set in type 2 points smaller than the table but not smaller than 6-point.\n\nLeaders\n198. Leaders run across the entire table except that they are omitted from a last reading column or a first or last date column.\n\nLeaders may be omitted in any line from a reading column followed only by other reading columns which in that particular line are blank.\n\n199. Figures used to form a stub may be followed by leaders if so desired.\n200. If there is only one reading column in a table, leaders run from the bottom line of an overrun. If there are more than one reading column, leaders run from the top line, and the overrun ends with a period. (A date column is not regarded as a reading column.)\n\n201. In tables where the lines are numbered on the outside of each page, leaders run from the top line.\n\n202. Words in a line are letter-spaced if more than 1% ems are required between them. All of a short word is letter-spaced rather than only part of a long one.\n\n203. Overruns are set with hanging indentation. The indentation is 1 em more than the indentation of the item or, to prevent conflict, 1 em more than the indentation of a following subordinate item.\n\nReading columns.\nThe indentation in reading columns is in addition to the en quad used for bear-off.\n\nIf the last word in a leader line runs close to the rule, an en leader is inserted if space permits; if not, a thin space.\n\nNumerical terms are expressed in figures, even at the beginning of a sentence: 241 days from Dec. 1; trains 3 times a day.\n\nTables in rules: All figures bear off an em quad where an em quad can be used on each side of the figures; otherwise, they bear off an en quad, except that the first and last columns (including leaders) bear off an em quad from the outside rules.\n\nTotal lines: The usual indentation of the word Total is 3 ems, but this indentation should be increased as necessary to avoid alignment with preceding item.\n\nUnits of quantity: Units of quantity in stub columns are placed on the right.\n1. leader must not extend beyond the ruling. If the subject does not fill a full line but is too long to allow the insertion of the unit of quantity, the line is quadrupled out and the unit of quantity is placed on the next line at the right, but not preceded by leaders.\n\nTabular Work\n210. Over figures columns, units of quantity and the abbreviations a.m. and p.m., if not included in the box heads, are set in 6-point italic and are placed immediately above the figures, without periods other than an abbreviating period. If units change in a column, the new units are set in italic, with a full quad line above and no space below.\n\n211. Units of quantity over figure columns are used only at the beginning of a table or at the head of a continued page or continued column in a double-up table.\n\nTable showing style in regard to the use of units of quantity in stubs and figure columns.\nAnimal matter: Hides and skins (pounds.) ... Wool: Washed. Do -- Do -- j-May 16 Vegetable matter: Cocoa and chocolate (pounds.) ... Coffee. Do -- Fibers, vegetable: In raw state: Cotton 3 bales. Do -- Istle or tampico fiber (pounds.) Total Value Quantity Value Quantity Value\n\nLeader work is a simple form of tabular work without box heads or vertical rules. In general, leader work is governed by the same rules of style as tabular work. Any necessary deviations from that style are indicated below.\n\nPage\n\n(See also Tabular Work; Abbreviations)\nRules:\n\n212. A figure column is an en quad wider than the longest line of figures but not less than 2 ems.\n213. If the last column is a reading column, leaders are run within an en quad of the first word. If the first column overruns, it is indented 1 em from the first word of the last column.\n\nContinued heads:\n214. If leader work continues on a following page, the center and flush heads are also continued.\n215. The abbreviation do. is capitalized if not preceded by leader.\n216. The dollar mark is used at the beginning of each statement, on the first line of double-up matter, at the head of a continued statement.\n217. Flush heads and subheads clear the figure columns.\n218. Footnotes are placed at the bottom of the page with the footnotes to text, numbered consecutively with references in text. If the leader work runs over from one page to another, the appropriate footnotes are carried on each page, repeated if necessary.\n219. A unit of quantity centered over a column of figures is capitalized and set in italic in type 2 points smaller than the figures, but not smaller than 6-point. The examples immediately below show the style to be observed where there is a short side head at the left (one leader under unit of quantity).\n\nPennsylvania R.R.: Tons\nBaltimore & Ohio R.R.:\nFreight carried: Tons\n\nIf there is no side head: Tons.\nSeedlings: Black locust, Honey locust, Green ash, Box elder, Osage orange, Catalpa, Black walnut, Chestnut (units of quantity aligned across page) - inches\n\nSeedlings - Continued:\n\nMixed units of quantity and amounts and words: Capital invested, Value of implements and stock, Land under cultivation _ acres, Orchard _ do _, Forest land _ square miles, Livestock:\n\nHorses: Number, Value,\nCows: Number, Weekly production of butter per cow _ pounds,\nHogs: Number, Loss from cholera _\n\nAbbreviated unit of quantity repeated: Length of skull, premaxillaries to condyles, Menodus trigonocerus - mm: 2,120, Height at shoulder (top of third dorsal), Brontops robus-\nGeneral principle involved in typography of date lines, addresses, and signatures is that they should stand out clearly from the body of the letter or paper which they accompany. This is accomplished by using caps and small caps and italic, as set forth in the rules below.

Lines set in boldface, all caps, small caps, or caps and small caps are spaced with en quads.\n\n224. Lead is omitted if space is clear between date line and address, signature and text, or signature and address.\n\nDate lines\n\n225. Date lines at the beginning of a letter or paper are set at the right side of the page, the originating office in caps and small caps, the place name and date in italic; if the originating office is not given, the place name is set in caps and small caps and the date in italic; if only the place is given, the date is set in caps and small caps and the place in italic.]\nThe date is set in caps and small caps.

Copy editors are responsible for uniformity in type used for heads of coordinate rank.\n284. Center heads are set in capitals, side heads in lowercase (first word and proper names capitalized).\n285. Periods are omitted after center heads, running heads, and flush and cut-in side heads; a period and dash are used after a side head run in with the text, except for terms like Article 1, Section 1.\n286. Division of words should be avoided in center heads making more than one line, and the first line should not be made to fill the measure by unduly wide spacing.\n287. Center heads in capitals are spaced with at least four quads between words, and the space is widened proportionately for an extended face or for letter-spaced words.\n288. In heads set in capitals, a small-cap c or ac, if available, is used in such names as McLean or MacLeod; otherwise, a lower-case c or ac. In heads set in small caps, an apostrophe is used instead of the c. (See also Capitalization, rules 5 and 5a.)\n289. In text, a parenthetical citation at the end of a sentence is included within the sentence unless it forms a sentence in itself or unless copy is specifically marked otherwise.\nMiscellaneous rules\n290. The division of words at the ends of consecutive lines should be avoided as far as possible without sacrificing good spacing.\n291. Hyphened words are preferably divided at the compounding hyphen.\n292. A word should not be divided on a single letter; division on two letters should be avoided if possible.\n293. The last word on a page and the last word of the last full line of a paragraph are preferably not divided.\n294. Division of words should be minimized in leaded matter and avoided as far as possible in double-leaded matter.\n295. Such abbreviations as U.S.N., D.C., M.D., B.C., a.m., and N.W. should not be divided at the end of a line.\n296. Initials should not be divided at the end of a line, and, preferably, they are not separated from the surname; Esq., Sr., and Jr. should not be separated from the names to which they belong.\n297. In printing a speaker\u2019s language, the words etc., et cetera, and and so forth or\net al. are used \u2013 not the abbreviation etc. If a quoted extract is set in type smaller than that of the preceding text and the speaker has summarized the remainder with the words and so forth or et cetera, those words should be placed at the beginning of the following paragraph.\n\nFootnotes (see Reference marks and footnotes, p. 107)\n\nIndentations:\n298. In documents or narrower measure, the paragraph indentation is:\n299. Overruns in hanging indentations are 1 em more than the first line, except that to avoid conflict with a following indentation (for example, of a subentry), the overrun indentation is made 1 em more than the following line. In a group where the first lines are numbered or lettered, the indentation is 3 ems, or more if necessary to clear.\n300. In matters wider than document measure, the indentation for:\n2 ems is used for paragraphs instead of 1 em, and indentations on date lines, addresses, and signatures are increased by 1 em (rules 225, 232).\n\nRule 301: The indentation of matter set in smaller type should be the same, in points, as that of the main text if indented lines are in juxtaposition.\n\nRule 303: In indexes set with leaders, if all page numbers cannot go in the leader line, the first number is set in that line and the other numbers are overrun. However, to save an overrun, page numbers may be run back within a 1 em leader of the entry, with an en quad between the leader and the figures.\n\nIf page folios overrun more than 220, this is one way to save overruns (...). _ 220, 224,\nAnd this is another way when overrun folios make 2 or more lines (...). _ 220,\n\nMISCELLANEOUS RULES\n\nRule 304: Overrun page numbers are indented 7 ems in full measure.\n3Kems in half measure, more than one line being used if necessary. These indentions are increased if necessary to avoid conflict with matter above or below.\n\n305. In index entries, the following forms are used:\nBrown, A. H., Jr. (not Brown, Jr., A. H.)\nBrown, A. H., & Sons (not Brown & Sons, A. H.)\n\n306. In a table of contents, where such a word as chapter, plate, or figure is followed by a number and period in the first line and cleared in the following lines, an en quad is used after the period in the first line, and the periods are aligned.\n\n307. Subheads to tables of contents are centered on the full measure. If such subheads extend to the figure column, the figure column and an equal number of ems on the left are cleared.\n\nLeads and slugs (see Spacing, p. 108)\nLegends beneath illustrations.\n308. Legends, one or two lines long, are centered. Longer legends have hanging indentation. If an illustration is narrower than full measure and text is to run at its side, the legend is set to the width of the illustration. If not, the legend is set full measure, regardless of the width of the illustration, unless copy is otherwise marked.\n\n309. Legends are leaded if the text is leaded and are solid if the text is solid.\n\n310. Legend lines of illustrations which run the breadth should be printed to read up; that is, even-page legends should be on the binding (or inside) margin, and odd-page legends on the outside margin.\n\n311. A period is used after legends and explanatory matter beneath illustrations.\n\nLetters illustrating shapes and forms.\n312. Letters used to illustrate shapes and forms, such as U-shaped, A-frame, T-rail, are set in gothic case 380 for 10-point, case 379 for 8-point, and case 378 for 6-point, except that for I-beam cases 14, 13, and 12, respectively, are used. A gothic capital is not used in X-ray and TJ-boat, which have no reference to shape or form.\n\nNumbered paragraphs or items:\n313. A period and en quad are used after a number or letter at the beginning of a paragraph or item, but if parentheses are used, the period is omitted.\n\nReference marks and footnotes:\n314. For reference marks in text, superior figures are used, separated from the words to which they apply by thin spaces, unless immediately preceded by a period or comma. Unless copy and proofs are otherwise marked, the footnotes are numbered consecutively, from 1.\nTo refer to entries numbered up to 99 in a publication divided into chapters or articles, reference numbers begin with 1 in each chapter or article. A superior reference mark follows all punctuation marks except a dash.\n\nMISCELLANEOUS RULES\n\n315. Where reference figures might lead to ambiguity, such as in matters containing exponents, italic superior letters may be used.\n316. Footnotes are set in the same measure as the text to which they belong.\n317. Footnotes are set as paragraphs and are separated from the text by a 60-point rule, flush on the left, with 2 leads above and below the rule. Two or more short footnotes coming together may be combined by the typesetter in one line, with the blank spaces equalized, provided the spaces are not less than 2 ems.\n318. Unless copy is otherwise marked, footnotes to 12-point text.\n319. Letters used for reference marks in explaining diagrams, etc., are set in italic for either capitals or lower-case.\n\n320. Sidenotes and cut-in notes are set as paragraphs unless otherwise marked; if so prepared, they may be set with each line flush on the left and ragged on the right. The measure allowed for cut-in notes is 12 ems of 6-point text unless otherwise marked, and the note should bear off from the text an em above and below and at least an em at the side.\n\n321. The cut-in note should begin on the third line of the paragraph of text unless the paragraph is too short.\n\n322. Spacing of text is governed by the leading, narrow spacing being more desirable in solid matter than in leaded matter. Very dense text should have a leading of 12 points, while less dense text can have a leading of 15 points. Footnotes should have a leading of 14 points. The space between paragraphs should be equal to the leading of the text. The space before the first line of a paragraph should be equal to the leading plus 2 points. The space after the last line of a paragraph should be equal to the leading.\nAvoid thin or very wide spacing in the first line of a paragraph. If the last line of a paragraph follows a widely spaced line, it is spaced with en quads instead of 3-em spaces. Center heads are separated from the text by slugs; the space below the head being at least 2 points less than the space above. Unless otherwise marked, extracts or other matter set off from the main text by smaller type or indention are separated from the text by 3 leads in leaded matter and 2 leads in solid matter.\n\nGENERAL INFORMATION\nGEOLOGIC TERMS\n\nFor the capitalization, compounding, and use of quotations in geologic terms, copy is to be followed. The following list gives many of the terms in common use. It should be noted that \u201cCoal Measures\u201d is used for a subdivision of the Carboniferous system; \u201cCalcareous\u201d and \u201cMagnesian\u201d for lithologic subdivisions.\nLower Cambrian and Ordovician, respectively; and \"Red Beds\" for Permo-Triassic rocks of the West; and these terms, if used in a common-sense, are not capitalized or quoted. The term \"redbeds\" (lower-case, one word) is used in a technical, nonliteral sense to designate certain formations of mixed lithologic character that are predominantly red. The adjectives upper, middle, and lower are capitalized only as indicated in the list, unless the term is quoted (\"Lower Carboniferous\"). Such common nouns as formation, member, group, anticline, syncline, dome, uplift, and terrace are not capitalized even if preceded by a name: Mesaverde formation, Devol anticline, Ozark uplift, etc. A dagger preceding a name (f Lafayette gravel) indicates that the name is obsolete or abandoned.\n\nAcadian, Algonkian, Archean, \"Calciferous\"\nCambrian:\nLower, Middle\nPre-Cambrian upper, Carboniferous lower, upper, Cenozoic Cincinnatian \"Coal Measures\", Middle, Upper, Eocene lower, middle, upper, Georgian glacial: interglacial, postglacial, preglical, Jurassic Lower, Middle, Upper, \"Jurassic Jurassic\", lignitic, \"Magnesian\", Mesozoic Miocene lower, middle, upper, Mississippian, Mohawkian, Neocene, Oligocene lower, middle, upper, Ordovician Lower, Middle, Upper, Paleozoic, physiographic terms Pennsylvanian, Permian \"Permo-Carboniferous\", Pleistocene, Pliocene post-Pliocene, pre-Pliocene, Proterozoic, Quaternary, Recent \"Red Beds\", Saratogan, Silurian, Tertiary, Triassic Lower, Middle, Upper\n\nThe following list of physical divisions of the United States has been approved by the Association of American Geographers and should be used as a guide to capitalization.

Manifestly, such a list cannot be exhaustive.\nWords are combined to form solid compounds, hyphened compounds, or two separate words, determined by analogy or rules. Words printed flush are combined with those indented beneath to form these compounds. Words given under combining forms, prefixes, and suffixes are limited to a few examples. Such words are usually solid (rules 58, 58a), but the hyphen is sometimes required for a special reason. Rule numbers are indicated in parentheses, except for rule 43, which applies to all compounds in the list. Words kept apart under the general principle are followed by no parenthetic reference.\n\nAbbreviations: a. (adjective), adv. (adverb), n. (noun), p. (preposition)\na, pron. (pronoun), and v. indicate functions of the compounds as given; words marked u.m. (unit modifier) are compounded only if preceding a noun.

Each  lesson  consti\u00ac \ntutes  a  real  unit  and  may  be  covered  in  a  single  session  when \nemphasis  is  placed  upon  the  acquisition  of  the  essentials  in \na  minimum  amount  of  time.  Teachers  who  prefer  to  sup\u00ac \nplement  the  study  of  the  grammar  with  extensive  early \nreading  practice  may  wish,  however,  to  devote  two  class \nsessions  to  each  lesson,  taking  sections  A,  B,  and  C  the  first \nhour  and  D  and  E  the  second.  The  first  thirty  lessons  are \nprinted  in  English  characters,  in  order  to  help  the  beginner  in \nThe most difficult stage of the work is acquiring the rudiments of the German language. With Lesson 31, we begin the use of German characters. It's recommended to start a good supplementary reader with the class in Modern Foreign Language Study at this point. A conscious effort has been made to implement what seems best in the recommendations from Modern Foreign Language Study. Only the practical grammar needed for a \"reading knowledge\" is stressed. There is no grammar for grammar's sake. What is obvious or identical in English and German is taken for granted. The departure from the traditional conjugation form is one illustration of this practical trend.\n\nInductive Method. Throughout the work, the inductive method of presentation, which proceeds from the known and familiar, is used.\nThe concrete connection to the unknown and abstract has been observed. There are questions for oral or written work in each lesson. Not only these, but the reading matter precedes the formal vocabulary and grammatical explanations, which are intended to prepare a subconscious feeling for such explanations before they are actually given. This conforms to the general plan of the book, which is forward-looking.\n\nCultural Background: The German passages serving as the text and model for each lesson aim to introduce an informational and cultural background at an early stage. The subject matter is not arranged haphazardly. A glance at the Table of Contents will show that the book as a whole is divided into five distinct content-groups.\n\nCollateral Readings: This cultural and informational aim is further developed in the ten English collateral readings.\nlessons scattered throughout the work offer a new departure in German beginners' books. They provide a systematic treatment of facts essential for every student of German.\n\nDirect Comprehension: There is early and constant training in silent reading, with suggestions for its further development. Reading by direct comprehension, not by translation, is encouraged. Three highly recommended types of modern tests are applied: (1) the grammar test, given in exercises throughout this book (e.g., Aufgabe XII, E, m; Aufgabe XXIV, E, v, etc.); (2) the silent reading test, given in Aufgaben LIV, LX, and LXIII, A and B; (3) the vocabulary test, given in Aufgaben LIV, LX, and LXIII, E.\n\nTranslation: Translation of English into German is introduced in five-sixths of the lessons but is not considered the primary focus.\nThe chief objective is to make each group of English sentences a more or less coherent narrative unit. Teachers opposed to translating sentences may readily omit them, as plenty of other exercise material is provided.\n\nReviews and Word Study: Each sixth lesson is a thorough review with strong emphasis on word study and building vocabulary. This feature of the instruction cannot be emphasized enough.\n\nPreface\n\nWord and Idiom Frequency: The German Frequency Word Book of Professor B.Q. Morgan and the German Idiom List of Professor E.F. Hauch were drawn upon constantly. For instance, the first 250 words of the Morgan list are all used without exception, while the average for the next 750 is quite high. Most of these words are frequently repeated.\n[I. Preface: The writer acknowledges his indebtedness to Professor Peter, whose little pamphlet, \"Building the German Vocabulary,\" proved very suggestive; to the German Tourist Information Office in New York and the Reichsbahnzentrale f\u00fcr den deutschen Reiseverkehr, and the Terramare Office, both of Berlin, for the use of the illustrations. Last but not least, the author is under heavy obligation to Dr. Alexander Green, of D. C. Heath and Company.\n\nII. Contents:\n\nI. The German Alphabet\nII. Pronunciation\nIII. Syllabication\nIV.

THE GERMAN ALPHABET\n1. The German language is printed either in German or in Roman type. Similarly, it may be written either in German or in Roman script. In the first 30 lessons of this book, Roman letters are used for both German and English.\n2. The German names of the letters of the alphabet can be given only in approximate English equivalents because the sound values, especially of the vowels, differ. The German vowels, purer and more clear-cut, must be learned by ear. The following table gives the approximate pronunciation of the German names of letters, as well as examples in which the sounds occur:\n\nLetter Name Examples\nA a ah Abend, alles\nB b bay Ball, backen\nC c tsay Cicero, Cuba\nD d day Dank, dort\nE e ay Ehre, enden\nF f eff Fall, pfiff\nG g gay Garten, gehen\nH h hah\nHaus, I - Inhalt, J - Kind, Kaufen - Lied, lallen - Mann, machen - Nase, nach - Ohr, offen - Platz, klappen - Quelle, quer - Letter, Name, Examples - R, err - Rose, reiten - S, ess - Sinn, sehen - T, tay - Tisch, tief - Uhr, unter - V, fow - Vater, vor - Wasser, weiter - X, ix - Xerxes, Axt - Y, ypsilon - Yacht, Lyrik - Z, tsett - Zimmer, zu\n\n3. ss: Stra\u00dfe, Flu\u00df, Flu\u00dfbett\nDouble s is written \u00df at the end of a word or syllable (e.g. Flu\u00df, Flu\u00df-bett) and also after a long vowel (e.g. Stra\u00dfe). Otherwise it is written ss: N\u00e4sse. (In Roman type, \u00df occurs also as sz and even as ss.)\n\n4. Medial h: sehen, gehen\nThe letter h after a vowel is not pronounced. Its function is to make the preceding vowel long. Otherwise there are no silent letters in German.\nII. PRONUNCIATION\n\nA. Accent\n1. The accent of simple native words is on the first syllable: arbeiten, handeln, gehen, Stra\u00dfe, Endung, innerhalb\n2. Compounds generally accent the first component, with a secondary stress on the other component: ausgehen, aufarbeiten, Schreibfeder, Herrlichkeit, unsch\u00f6n\n3. But compounds beginning with one of the following syllables, be-, emp-, ent-, er-, ge-, ver-, or zer-, are accented on the second syllable: beginnen, Gesicht, vergesen, Zerr\u00fctung\n4. The prefixes durch-, \u00fcber-, um-, unter-, voll-, and wieder- are unaccented in some words: durchdringen, \u00fcberraschen, umgehen, unterhalten, vollbringen, wiederholen\n5. Foreign words generally retain their original accent: Natur, Student, studieren, Testament, Division, nat\u00fcrlich\n6. Other words which are accented on the second syllable, like umher and inmitten, are specifically marked in the Vocabulary.\n\nB. General Remarks\n1. German is pronounced with more stress, more muscular energy, than English. One of its chief characteristics is the glottal stop, or hitch in the voice, at the end of a syllable: Der Ver-ein hat eine Er-oberung gemacht. Er er-ringt es. Das ist ur-alt.\n2. Bear in mind that no book can teach good pronunciation. One requires a living model. This model must be consciously imitated, even mimicked. Pronunciation should be consistently practised throughout every lesson.\nC. Vowels\n1. A vowel is generally short when followed by two consonants: Mann, Henne, innen, Tonne.\nSein Name war Abel. But the real value of long a must be learned by imitation. It is approximately like the pure vowel sound ah. Double a is like single long a.\n\nSchade, sagte Adolf. Er sah den Kahn. Da war der Hahn. The warm day invites to bathing. Das Paar war in Gefahr.\n\nBut the real value of long e must be learned by imitation. It is approximately like the pure vowel sound eh. Double e is like single long e.\n\nEr steht neben dem Beet. Wir geben Theodor den Tee. Es lebe das Leben. Das Leben ist ein ewiges Streben. Wir weben am Webstuhl.\n\nBut the real value of long i must be learned by imitation. It is approximately like the i in machine. The diphthong ie is equivalent to long i.\n\nDie Maschine dient mir. In ihm liegt der Spieltrieb. Marie was never here.\n5. Pronounce long o like the pure vowel-sound oh. But this is merely its approximate value. The real value must be learned by imitation. Double o is like single long o.\n\nOn the floor stands an oven. Where is the great Dom? The need is a messenger of death. On the floor was moss. Where is the boat?\n\n6. Pronounce long u like oo in toot. But care must be taken to preserve the pure vowel-quality.\n\nDoes the cow have a hoof? It is a good book. Bring a chair. Goodness begets courage. Be bold. What the boy does is not good.\n\n7. Pronounce short a as in hahaha.\n\nWhat do you have in your hand? I had it all planned differently. Albert is eight, Anna is eighteen.\n\nINTRODUCTION\n8. Pronounce short e approximately as in let. Final German e, always pronounced, is not at all stressed and sounds very dull, almost like a slight grunt.\nLieber ein Ende mit Schrecken, statt ein Schrecken ohne Ende. Es gibt schlechte Menschen und gute Menschen.\n\nHin ist hin. Es ist ein milder Winter. Bist du nicht willig? Der Inn bei Innsbruck ist wild. Ilse irrt sich immer.\n\nShort i is pronounced as in English in. Short o has no exact equivalent in English. It is very much like u in but. Lotte konnte nicht kommen. Was kostet die Tonne? Die Sonne kommt vom Osten her. Otto wollte Oskar verspotten.\n\nShort u has no exact equivalent in English. It is very much like oo in foot. Die Kunst hat ihre Gunst. Unter der bunten Kutte. Der Hund ist stumm, nicht dumm. Mu\u00df ist eine harte Nuss.\n\nD. Umlaut\n\nThe vowels a, o, and u may be modified to \u00e4, \u00f6, and \u00fc. The diphthong au may be modified to \u00e4u. This modification is called Umlaut. It exists in English, almost unnoticed, in the form of a vowel change in some words.\nfoot, feet; mouse, mice; man, men. Long a is pronounced approximately like ai in hair. Between the ships swim the swans. Do the Danes have good harbors? She gapes, while she sews. If he were sick, he wouldn't eat.\n\n3. The pronunciation of long \u00f6 must be learned by imitation. To approximate it, round the lips for pronouncing long o, then try to pronounce long e with the lips in that position.\n\nDo you know in Bohemia the F\u00f6hn? We heard tones up high. He mocks the courtiers. Do you like Goethe? (\u00f6 = \u00f6)\n\n4. The pronunciation of long \u00fc must be learned by imitation. To approximate it, round the lips for pronouncing long u, then try to pronounce long i with the lips in that position.\n\nHe is tired of the stage. He practices with effort. He submits graciously. Who lies, deceives. In the sack were hats. I am early tired.\nFive. Short a is pronounced like short e. Many hands make an end. The apples hang on the branches. Due to the rain, the guests could not use the benches. Six. Short \u00f6 is formed in the same way as long \u00f6 but is shorter in quantity. Could you grant me that, Goddess? Opener, Goddess. The Creator of Creation. He is the most pious. Seven. Short \u00fc is formed in the same way as long ii but is shorter in quantity. Five and fifteen and fifty. At the coast stands the hut. Does it have hips? Rivers flow into the estuary. E. Diphthongs and ch au. One. The diphthong au is similar to ou in house, but care must be taken to preserve its pure vowel-quality. Out of the house. On the au stands a tree. Eye for eye. I bought Goethe's Faust.\nWhat like oy in Troy, but much more sharply and quickly. Preserve their pure vowel-quality. Heute ist der neunte. Die Beute war in neun H\u00e4uten. Er h\u00e4uft das Heu. Die Leute von heute. Die Br\u00e4ute waren scheu.\n\nai, ei 3. The diphthongs ai and ei are pronounced somewhat like i in line, but much more sharply and quickly. Preserve their pure vowel-quality. Do not confuse ei and ie. The latter is a long i.\n\nI was in Mai am Main. I went allein in den Hain hinein. Sein Diener dient. Hat eine Biene Beine? In der Heide ist die Freude. (distinguish between ei and eu)\n\nMarie kam nie so fr\u00fch (distinguish between ie and \u00fc)\n\nch 4. The combination ch is a single guttural sound, i.e. it is produced in the throat. English does not have the equivalent sound, but Scotch has (cf. loch). The sound is made by clearing one's throat. But it is not\nalways made equally far back in the throat. After i and e it is pronounced against the soft palate; after a, o, and u it is made farther back in the throat. Ach, was mache ich. Echte Sachen. Er kocht am Bache. I bake Kuchen (distinguish between ck = k, and ch). Der Deich bricht. Das ist nicht leicht zu machen. Ein Geruch von Kuchen. In der Kirche nascht er Kirschen (distinguish between sch = sh, and ch). chs 5. Before s the combination ch is pronounced like k, so that chs = x.\n\nEr ist Sachse. Die Achse des Erdballs. Der Lachs w\u00e4chst.\n\nBut verb forms like machst and lachst are pronounced mach-st, lach-st.\n\nF. Consonants\nb: 1. b is pronounced as in English, except in final position and before t or s, where it is p.\nDer Bube geht auf und ab. Ob Benno kommt? Was gabst du dem Abt?\nd: 2. d is pronounced as in English, except in final position.\nposition where it is t. In the evening came the three girls. He held the band. Have you come to the land? This city, those cities. Other towns, other girls. He turned away. What had he sent? g is pronounced like the English go at the beginning of a word or syllable. But in the syllable -ig at the end of a word, it is pronounced like the guttural ch in ich. Between vowels, g is pronounced either like the guttural ch or like g in go. In final position, it is like the guttural ch or like a k.\n\nThe good general'. The day passes. The days pass. I have less than a king. Honey is sweet. Sunny days. It became difficult and more difficult.\n\nh is pronounced as in English. But between vowels and in final position, it is silent, serving only to lengthen the preceding vowel.\n\nThey go on. I stand. I saw him. I lift the hand.\n6. J is pronounced like English y. Ja, the year is still young. Jacob and Julie hunt with Johann.\n1. The sound of 1 is much more liquid than in English. Place the tongue flatly against the roof of the mouth, directly behind the teeth.\n\nThe soft breezes of spring. He smiled, then laughed loudly. Ludwig mumbled softly.\n\n8. The combination ng is pronounced as in English singer, never as in English finger.\n\nThis finger is long, that one is longer. The song lasted long. In the meadow, the singers sang.\n\n9. In the combination pf, both sounds are heard. How many pounds does the horse weigh? He has a pip-like head.\n\n10. The German r is either uvular (guttural) or sharply trilled. At the end of a word, it can scarcely be heard, however. It is never slurred, as in most American pronunciations.\nRote Rosen riechen gut. Ruchlose Rache. Rechts um.\nWhat wrote Robert in his letter to the mother?\ns is pronounced like s in see when at the end of a word or syllable or when followed by p, t, k, or f. It is like z in zest when at the beginning of a word or syllable or when followed by b, d, or g. Double s, written ss or \u00df, is like ss in miss.\nDas Segel ist na\u00df. Das Wasser ist hei\u00df. Die Gl\u00e4ser sind aus wei\u00dfem Glas. Er ma\u00df das Haus. Er setzte die Bremse an.\ns11. s and st at the beginning of a word are like schp (English shy) and seht (English sht).\nIch stehe auf einem spitzen Stein und staune stumm die stillen Sterne an.\ntion is pronounced like tsyon.\nGib mir eine Portion. Er schrieb eine Petition.\nKatzen kratzen mit den Tatzen.\nBeginners\u2019 German\nv is pronounced like f, except in foreign words like Novelle.\nwhere it is pronounced like English w. At the end of a word v always = f.\nViele V\u00f6gel vom S\u00fcden. Vorw\u00e4rts. Der Dativ is the wem-Fall.\nw (16). w is a cross between English w and v, not as broad as the former and not as sharp as the latter.\nWalter, give me water. Wenn er here was. What does the lion want?\nx (17). x = ks, as in English.\nMax, what do you do with the ax?\nThe poet writes lyric poems.\nZehn comes after neun. Show me how to dance.\nThe time was short.\n\nI. PRONUNCIATION\n1. A single consonant between two vowels goes with the following syllable. Examples: ha-ben, ge-mein, we-nig.\n2. Double consonants are usually separated. Examples: Was-ser, tref-fen.\n3. But the combinations \u00df, sch, st, ch, ph, and th are not separated but go with the following syllable. Examples: schlie-\u00dfen, Ta-sche, A-ster, la-chen.\n4. When there are three consonants together, the last usually goes with the following syllable. Examples:kamp-fen, bestimm-te.\n5. Compound words are divided into their component parts. Examples: Land-haus, Schul-buch.\n1. German capitalizes all nouns and words used as nouns: Mein Freund Karl ist ein armer Mann. My friend Karl is a poor man. Der Arme wohnt in Berlin. The poor fellow lives in Berlin.\n2. Proper adjectives are not usually capitalized: Er wohnt in einer deutschen Stadt. He lives in a German city. But note the adjective in titles: das Deutsche Reich, the German Empire.\n3. The pronoun ich is not capitalized. Other pronouns and possessive words, like Sie, Ihr, you, yours, will be noted as they occur.\n5. Punctuation\n1. The comma is used before subordinate clauses, where appropriate.\nEnglish omits it: the book, which you gave me. I know what he wants.\nThe comma is omitted in a series before und, and: der Lehrer, die Sch\u00fcler und die B\u00fccher. The teacher, the pupils, and the hooks.\nThe colon, not the comma, is used before direct quotation: Er fragte mich: \"Wie geht's?\" He asked me, \"How goes it?\"\n\nGoethe and Schiller\nThe famous Weimar statue of the two leading classic writers of Germany\n\nBEGINNERS' GERMAN\nERSTE AUFGABE\nGender and sex.

It is essential, for without it one cannot learn a language. In learning a noun, always learn its definite article, that is, der, or die, or das, with it. Remember that in German every noun begins with a capital letter.\n\nder Arm the arm\ndas Buch the book\nder Finger the finger\ndie Hand the hand\n(der) Herr Mr.\nder Lehrer the teacher (man)\ndie Lehrerin the teacher (woman)\nder Sch\u00fcler the pupil (boy)\nPupils, the pupil (girl), all, large or small, also, first task, yes or no, and, what, who, how, not, or, that, D. GRAMMAR, 1. Gender, Walter is the pupil (boy). Marie is the pupil (girl). The arm is large. The hand is small. The book is small. German has three genders: masculine, feminine, and neuter. They are indicated by three forms of the definite article: der (masculine), die (feminine), and das (neuter), each equivalent to English \"the.\" 2. In German, we must distinguish between gender and sex. Names of living beings usually have the gender corresponding to their sex, for example, der Sch\u00fcler (male pupil), die Sch\u00fclerin (female pupil). But nouns denoting lifeless or sexless objects also have gender in German, as der Arm (male arm), die Hand (female hand), das Buch (neutral book). 3. Personal pronouns, Marie \u2014 she.\nThe three personal pronouns corresponding to the forms of the definite article are: er for der; sie for die; es for das. Note that:\n\ner means he when referring to a male being; it when referring to a lifeless object which in German happens to be masculine, as der Arm, der Finger.\n\nsie means she when referring to a female being; it when referring to a lifeless object which in German happens to be feminine, as die Hand.\n\nes means it, but refers only to a neuter noun.\n\nThe plural, corresponding to English they, is sie.\n\nSingular Plural\nich bin I am\nSie sind you are (1)\ner, sie, es ist he, she, it is\nwir sind we are\nSie sind you are (2)\nsie sind they are\nich  habe  I  have \nSie  haben  you  have  3 \ner,  sie,  es  hat  he,  she,  it  has \nwir  haben  we  have \nSie  haben  you  have  4 \nsie  haben  they  have \nE.

There are four cases: the nominative or subjective, the genitive or possessive, the dative or indirect object, and the accusative or objective. We shall take up the study of the nominative and accusative cases first.\n\n2. Nominative and accusative.

While there are approximately 160 million English-speaking people in the world, there are roughly 80 million whose native tongue is German. English and German may be called cousin-languages; they both belong to the family of Germanic or Teutonic tongues. They have a large number of cognates, that is, words of the same origin. Other languages belonging to this family are Dutch, Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian. English, though Germanic in its main stock of words, is more mixed in character than German and hence less purely Germanic. It developed from the Germanic languages of the Angles, Saxons, and other tribes who came from northern Germany to England between 400 and 500 AD.\nThe influence of Celtic (Irish and Welsh), Latin, and French on English and German languages: The French influence was introduced through the Norman Conquest in 1066. While German was also influenced by Latin and French, this influence is not as great as it is in English. The German literary language, also known as Hochdeutsch or High German, which all Germans learn in school and which we are now learning, is the practically only means of oral communication and the almost exclusive means of written communication in German-speaking countries. About ninety percent of the German spoken and over ninety-nine percent of the German written is the literary language. However, the dialects, of which there are many\u2014each restricted to a limited locality\u2014live on in the informal intercourse of the common people.\nthe  literary  language  is  taught  in  every  German  school, \nscarcely  a  German  can  be  found  anywhere  who  does  not \nCOLLATERAL  READING \nunderstand  and  speak  the  literary  language.  The  chief  relics \nof  dialect  in  the  speech  of  the  average  German  lie  in  the  more \nor  less  marked  dialectic  tinge  with  which  his  pronunciation \nis  colored  and  in  the  occasional  use  of  a  dialectic  word. \nOne  of  the  most  important  and  interesting  dialects  is  the \nLow  German  or  Plattdeutsch,  spoken  in  the  Lowlands  along \nthe  northern  coast.

German spelling, or orthography, is much simpler and easier to learn than English spelling, having been modernized by a series of official decrees generally recognized. There are now practically no silent letters in German, except for medial and final h (sehen, sah). Besides, there is far less variation in the pronunciation of individual letters or combinations than in English. Compare such apparent inconsistencies in English as through, trough, enough, and trout, with four different pronunciations for ou and two different ways of treating gh. Compare also words like eight, either, and height, with three different types of ei; or words like receive, relieve, leave, peeved, and eve, with five different spellings for e.\n\nBeginners\u2019 German\nSiebente Aufgabe\nMeaning  and  declension  of  ein.

The em-words. The words \"ein,\" \"kein,\" \"Ihr,\" \"sein,\" \"ihr,\" \"unser\" (and \"dein\" and \"euer\") are called the \"ein-words.\"\n(a) Ein-words have no ending in the masculine nominative.\nSingular and in the neuter nominative and accusative, ein lacks a plural. The other ein-words have the plural endings of dieser, namely -e, -er, -en, -e.\n\nThe complete adjective declension of kein and unser, which may be used as models for all the ein-words, is:\n\nSingular | Plural\n--- | ---\nMasc. | Fem. | Neut.\nkein | keine | kein\nkein | keine | kein\nGen. | keines | keiner\nkeinem | keiner | keinen\nAcc. | keinen | keine | kein\nNom. | unser | unsere | unser\nGen. | unseres | unserer | unseres\nDat. | unserem | unserer | unserem\nAcc. | unsere | unsere | unser\n\nAlso, dein, familiar singular, is your, and euer, familiar plural, is your.\n\nNotice the correspondence:\n\nich \u2014 mein\nSie \u2014 Ihr\ner \u2014 sein\nsie \u2014 ihr\nes \u2014 sein\nwir \u2014 unser\nSie \u2014 Ihr\nsie \u2014 ihr\n\nForms of unser and euer:\n\nDas Haus unseres Vaters und unsrer Mothers.\nIn our house.

Specifically, \"stem to\" changes from \"stem to\" to \"-i,\" \"nehmen\" changes from \"nehm-\" to \"nimm-,\" \"antworten\" supplies an \"-e\" between the stem and ending, and \"tun\" drops the \"-e\" of the ending in the infinitive and the three principal plural forms.\n\nIn German, adverbs must follow the verb, unlike English which may insert an adverb between the subject and verb.\n\nEnglish: Walter now speaks. He always answers in English.\nGerman: Walter spricht jetzt. Er antwortet immer englisch.\n\nFamiliar singular: du gibst, du sprichst, du antwortest\nPlural: ihr gebt, ihr nehmt, ihr sprecht, ihr werdet, ihr tut, ihr antwortet\n\nExercise VIII:\n(a) English may insert an adverb between subject and verb, but German never does this. The adverb must follow the verb.\nEs spricht schnell dunkel. Er spricht gut Deutsch.\n(5) Adverbs or adverbial phrases (e.g. jetzt, gut) precede predicate adjectives (e.g. dunkel) and noun objects (e.g. Deutsch).\nEr spricht jetzt gut Deutsch. Er antwortet immer auf Deutsch.\nEr war gestern da.\n(c) Adverbs or adverbial phrases of time (e.g. jetzt, immer, gestern) precede adverbs or adverbial phrases of place (e.g. da) or manner (e.g. gut and auf Deutsch).\n\nI.

With this case, they express location. If the verb is one of rest (e.g. stands, lies, is), the preposition governs the dative.\n\n(b) They govern the accusative when they answer the question \"Whom?\" or \"What?\" and express direction or recipient.\nquestion: Wohin (i.e., to what place?) With this case, they express destination. If the verb is one of motion with respect to the preposition (e.g., goes to, places on, steps into), the preposition governs the accusative.\n\n1. Prepositions most often used. The commonest of these nine prepositions are: an, auf, in, \u00fcber, unter, and vor. The dative construction is more frequently used than the accusative.\n\n(a) The preposition an usually means at when used with the dative; it usually means up to when used with the accusative.\nNote that an dem may contract to am, an das to ans.\n\n(b) The preposition auf usually means on, on top of.\nNote that auf das may contract to aufs.\n\n(c) The preposition in, with the dative, means in; with the accusative, it means into.\nNote that in dem may contract to im, and in das to ins.\nHe speaks about school. The preposition \"\u00fcber\" always governs the accusative in the figurative sense of meaning \"about\" or \"concerning.\"\n\n3.

The day before yesterday, he was still fourteen.\n\n\"How old are you, Karl?\" asks Mr. Braun. Karl answers not, he hears not. Often he does not hear well.\n\nYesterday, I was in the city. Was Karl there? No, Karl was not in the city yesterday. He was at home. Where was he? At home he was. He suddenly became ill. He was not well. It was his birthday.

Position of verb in questions: In German, the verb comes first in questions due to the lack of progressive or emphatic forms. For instance, \"Geht die Mutter in die Stadt?\" (Does the mother go to the city?) and \"Wo ist die Mutter?\" (Where is the mother?).\n\n2. Inversion: In German, any part of the predicate may precede the verb for emphasis or variety. However, only one predicate part can precede the verb. For example, \"Heute bleibt sie zu Hause\" (She stays home today) can be rephrased as \"Zu Hause bleibt sie\" (She stays at home), but not \"Jetzt f\u00fcnfzehn ist er\" (He is fifteen now) can be rephrased as \"Jetzt ist er f\u00fcnfzehn\" (He is fifteen).\n\n3. Position of \"nicht\": In simple negative statements, \"nicht\" comes after the verb. For example, \"Er antwortet nicht\" (He doesn't answer) and \"Er antwortet heute nicht\" (He doesn't answer today).\n\n(a) In simple negative statements, when the negative word \"nicht\" comes after the verb.\nThe negative modifies the part of the predicate it directly precedes. In He does not answer, the negative not follows the answer. In contrast, in Er h\u00f6rt nicht gut, the negative nicht modifies gut. If the negative modifies a part of the predicate instead of the verb, it precedes that part. In the first example, nicht modifies gut. In the second example, it modifies in die Stadt, not heute.\n\nRule: To determine which predicate part the negative modifies in sentences like She is not going to the city today, convert the verb to its simple present form: She goes not to the city today. The negative will then precede the part it modifies.\n\nChange of nicht ein to kein:\nShe makes no birthday cake today.\n6.

It is bounded on the north by the North Sea, Denmark, and the Baltic Sea; on the east by Lithuania, Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Austria; on the south by Austria and Switzerland; on the west by France, Belgium, and Holland.\n\nIn area, Germany is considerably smaller than Texas and somewhat larger than California. It is less than one twentieth the size of the entire United States and not much more than one seventieth the size of the British Empire.\n\nThe most important rivers of Germany flow from south to north. They are the Rhine (der Rhein) in the west; the Elbe (die Elbe) in the north; and the Danube (die Donau) in the south.\nThe Weser (die Weser) and the Elbe (die Elbe) are near its center, and the Oder (die Oder) is in the east. The Rhine, the most scenically beautiful of the German rivers, famed for its castles and old legends, rises in Switzerland and empties into the North Sea in Holland. It receives several important tributaries: the Neckar (der Neckar), which has the university town of Heidelberg on its left bank and meets the Rhine from the east at Mannheim; the Main (der Main), which meets the Rhine from the same direction at Mainz; the Moselle (die Mosel), which meets it from the west at Coblenz; and the Ruhr (die Ruhr), which meets it from the east near Duisburg. The Weser has its source and mouth in Germany. The city of Bremen lies near the mouth of this river. On the Elbe are the cities of Dresden, Magdeburg,\nThe Danube (die Donau) flows from west to east, originating in southwestern Germany and leaving Germany at Passau in Bavaria. It then passes through Austria and other countries in southern Europe before emptying into the Black Sea. Northern Germany is flat, central Germany has hills and lovely wooded ranges of moderate height, and much of southern Germany is mountainous. The principal ranges in central Germany, reading from west to east, are the Odenwald, the Spessart, the Thuringian Forest (der Th\u00fcringer Wald), the Harz (to the north), the Ore Mountains (das Erzgebirge), and the Giant Mountains (das Riesengebirge). In southern Germany, we find the Black Forest (der Schwarzwald) and the Bavarian Alps (die Bayrischen Alpen). The highest peak in Germany, the Zugspitze, approximately 9000 feet high, is located in the last-mentioned range.\nOf the 18 states, Prussia (Preu\u00dfen) is by far the largest, occupying over three fifths of Germany\u2019s total area. Prussia consists of ten provinces, the largest being Hanover (Hannover) and Brandenburg. Other states in order of their size are Bavaria (Bayern), W\u00fcrttemberg, Baden, and Saxony (Sachsen). Three seaport cities, Hamburg, Bremen, and L\u00fcbeck, are independent city-states with their own governments. The largest city is Berlin, with a population of over 4,000,000. It is the capital of Germany as well as of Prussia and has all the earmarks of a modern metropolis. The four next largest cities are Hamburg at the mouth of the Elbe, with a population of 1,000,000, and Leipzig in Saxony, Cologne (K\u00f6ln) on the Rhine, and Munich (M\u00fcnchen), the capital of Bavaria, each with a population of about 700,000.\nHamburg is a famous seaport. Leipzig is the center of the German book trade. Cologne is noted for its splendid cathedral in the Gothic style, built between 1248 and 1880. Munich is a famous old art center.\n\nThe population of Germany is about 65 million. It is the most populous country in western Europe. France, with about 40 million inhabitants, comes next on the continent. However, it is important to bear in mind that for its extremely small size (one twentieth the area of the United States), Germany has a comparatively large population (one half that of the United States).\n\nTypes of nouns.

GRAMMAR\n* 1. Types of nouns\nNom. Sing.\nDer Vater\nder Knabe (boy)\nGen. Sing.\ndes Vaters\ndes Knaben\nNom. Pl.\ndie V\u00e4ter\ndie Knaben\nNouns are divided into two types: strong and weak. (a) Strong nouns are nouns which, if masculine or neuter, have -s or -es in the genitive singular and umlaut the stem vowel (a to \u00e4, o to \u00f6, and u to \u00fc) in the plural (e.g. der Vater). (b) Weak nouns never take umlaut and in inflection add -n or -en to certain cases. They are always masculine or feminine, never neuter (e.g. der Knabe, die Feder).\n\nStrong nouns, Class 1. There are three classes of strong nouns. The first class consists of: (a) Masculine and neuter nouns in -el, -en, and -er: der Bruder, der Einwohner, der Engl\u00e4nder, der Fehler, das Fenster, der Finger, der Flieger, der Garten, der Kuchen, der Lehrer, das M\u00e4dchen, das Messer, der Morgen, der Ofen, der Onkel, der Sch\u00fcler, der Sommer.\nVater, der Vogel, der Wagen, der Winter, das Zimmer, der Zweifel, two feminines: die Mutter and die Tochter, diminutives: das Fr\u00e4ulein, das M\u00e4dchen, note that the ending -chen is already covered under (a), these nouns are always neuter and generally have umlaut when their stem vowel is a, o, or u, The neuters: das Geb\u00e4ude and das Gebirge, \n\nDeclension. Nouns of this class are declined as follows:\n\nSingular\nNom. der Vater, des Vaters, dem Vater, den Vater\nNom. die Mutter, der Mutter, der Mutter, die Mutter\nNom. das Geb\u00e4ude, des Geb\u00e4udes, dem Geb\u00e4ude, das Geb\u00e4ude\n\nPlural\nNom. die V\u00e4ter, der V\u00e4ter, den V\u00e4tern, die V\u00e4ter\nNom. die M\u00fctter, der M\u00fctter, den M\u00fcttern, die Mutter\nNom. die Geb\u00e4ude, der Geb\u00e4ude, den Geb\u00e4uden, die Geb\u00e4ude.\nSome nouns of this class with a stem vowel a, o, or u take an umlaut in the plural. In the above list (\u00a7 2, a and b), the following take umlaut, the rest do not: Brother, Garden, Mother, Ofen, Daughter, Father, and Bird.\n\nFeminines in -er other than Mother and Daughter, like Feder and Schwester, are weak. Remember that feminines never change in the singular.\n\nAll nouns add -n in the dative plural unless they end in diminutives. Making a noun diminutive by adding the neuter endings -chen and -lein is equivalent to prefixing little or dear little in English. Thus der Bruder = the brother, but das Br\u00fcderchen or das Br\u00fcderlein = the little brother.\n\nThe nouns das M\u00e4dchen and das Fr\u00e4ulein, the girl and the miss, diminutives, have lost their specific diminutive force but retain their neuter gender.\nI. In our little city, we have ten thousand buildings. 1. I live in this building; my daughters live in that one. 2. Often we sit in my uncle's garden. 3. In the winter, we have stoves in our rooms. 4.

Germany, which is to be studied in conjunction with the map, is located much farther north than the United States, whose northern border is approximately aligned with central Germany. However, Germany's weather does not become extremely cold due to the proximity of the Gulf Stream. Germany's position in the very center of Europe is noteworthy, as all other important European countries are its immediate neighbors, making it easy for Germans to study their languages and political and social customs.\nOther nations. Germany\u2019s central position gives it the role of a natural intermediary between the civilizations of the North and South, and between those of the West and East. The topography of Germany is quite varied. In the north, we find lowlands; in the center, a plateau; and in the south, rugged mountainous country. The large navigable rivers in the north make possible shipping and commerce with the interior as well as overseas. Central Germany, with its many streams and its abundant natural water power, is also favorable for shipping and commerce. One finds there factories, mills, mines, and iron and steel industries. Southern Germany, with its Alpine character, is primarily devoted to agriculture and cattle raising.\n\nAs a rule, the temperature in Germany is moderate; extreme heat and cold are comparatively rare, and abrupt temperature changes are not common.\nChanges in temperature with fluctuation over a wide range do not occur frequently except in the mountainous region of southern Germany. In northern Germany, the air is generally damp and heavy; there is much rain and little sunshine. A more favorable climate with less fog and more sunshine is to be found in the fruitful valleys of central Germany, where the atmosphere is usually balmy. Among the hills of central Germany, the air is fresh and invigorating. Changes in temperature are not as sudden in this region as in southern Germany.\n\nIron and coal are found in the Rhineland, particularly in the valley of the Ruhr River near the city of Essen, the Pittsburgh of Germany; also in Saxony and in Silesia. Small quantities of silver, copper, and lead are found in the Erzgebirge, along the Rhine, and in the Harz.\n\nA bridge in the Saxon Switzerland.\nAn imposing bridge in Saxon Switzerland. Popular summer resorts of Germany are the Harz, Th\u00fcringer Wald, Schwarzwald, Saxon Switzerland, and Bayrische Alpen. Among the many beautiful lakes in the Bayrische Alpen is the K\u00f6nigssee near the village of Berchtesgaden. In this range lies also the village of Oberammergau, where the famous Passion Play is given. It has been performed with fair regularity every ten years since 1634, when a dreadful pestilence broke out and the villagers vowed to institute what has since become a world-renowned custom. Germany has numerous health-restoring mineral springs and watering places, among them those of Bad Ems, Bad Nauheim, Wiesbaden, Baden-Baden, and Bad Kissingen. Some of the German cities are very old and of historical interest. The city of N\u00fcrnberg in northern Bavaria, noted for its historical significance.\nThe medieval city of N\u00fcrnberg still preserves parts of its city walls and some of its turreted buildings are five hundred years old. Nearby is the small town of Rothenburg, one of the most romantic spots in all of Germany. The inner part of the town has been preserved quite as it was four hundred years ago. Near Eisenach in Th\u00fcringen lies the famous castle, the Wartburg (die Wartburg), the oldest wing of which was built as early as 1070. This castle served as the hiding place of Martin Luther in 1521-22 while he was translating the Bible into German. The capital of the present state of Th\u00fcringen is Weimar, notable as the city in which Goethe, the greatest German man of letters, lived from 1775 to his death in 1832. Weimar has come to be regarded by Germans as a symbol of what is best in their intellectual life.\nA. READING MATERIAL\nA German student lives with my sister. He has been in America for a short time.

As a factor in European politics, Germany began to play a leading role in 800, when Charles, called Charles the Great or Charlemagne, became both king of the Franks, a German tribe, and emperor of the Holy Roman Empire (das Heilige R\u00f6mische Reich). The latter title he received from\nPope Leo III's empire, which encompasses modern Germany, also included what is now France and a significant portion of the European continent. This vast empire was divided into three parts in 843. One of these, called East Franconia (Ostfranken), is considered the ancestor of Germany or the German Reich.\n\nGermany thrived during the Middle Ages not as a great unified state but as a conglomeration of many principalities held together more or less firmly by succeeding lines of rulers. Among the important emperors during this period were Henry IV, who lived in the eleventh century and is remembered for his bitter quarrel with Pope Gregory VII over church policy; and Frederick I, the most notable ruler of the Hohenstaufen dynasty in the twelfth century.\nStaufen line; and Rudolph I, who lived in the thirteenth century and was the first representative of the famous House of Hapsburg, which played an important role in European history for over six hundred years. The greatest emperors of the Hapsburg family were Maximilian I in the early sixteenth century and Charles V. During Maximilian's reign, the country enjoyed a long period of peace. Under Charles V, the empire became very great and powerful. Germany, Italy, Spain, and Holland were all parts of the mighty realm of Charles V. The age of Maximilian I and Charles V was also the age of Martin Luther (1483-1546), the leader of the Protestant Reformation. As a result of this, extreme imbalance occurred.\nImportant event: about two-thirds of Germany adopted the Protestant faith. In general, Bavaria (Bayern), Prussian provinces of Silesia (Schlesien) and the Rhineland (Rheinland), remained Catholic, while the rest of Germany became predominantly Protestant.\n\nThe split between Catholics and Protestants led to the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), one of the most destructive wars in history. Over one-half of the population was annihilated, countless villages and cities were demolished, commerce was brought to a standstill, and moral and spiritual bankruptcy followed. The Holy Roman Empire, no longer holy, Roman, nor an empire, became a mere name.\n\nAfter the Thirty Years' War, we note the gradual rise of the Prussian state (Preu\u00dfen) in northern Germany under the Hohenzollern line. The first important ruler in this line was:\n\n(Note: The text does not contain any meaningless or unreadable content, and no modern editor additions or translations are required. Therefore, no cleaning is necessary.)\nThe family was Frederick William, known as the Great Elector (1640-1688). The electors, usually seven in number, were the most powerful princes and churchmen in the Holy Roman Empire, who met at the death of the emperor and elected his successor. They often elected the most influential among their own number. In being elective and not hereditary, the office of emperor of the Holy Roman Empire may be compared to the papacy; the college of electors resembles in some respects the college of cardinals.\n\nAssignment XXV\nTwenty-Fiveth Assignment\n\nPersonal pronouns.

Er redet ohne Pause.\n\nGerman History (after 1700)\nIn 1701, Prussia became a kingdom. Under capable rulers, the most notable of whom was Frederick II, known as Frederick the Great, Prussia flourished and grew. Frederick, who ruled from 1740 to 1786, conducted a series of wars; the most important was the successful Seven Years' War (1756-63) against Empress Maria Theresa, who at this time ruled.\nAustria was the nominal head of the Holy Roman Empire. Russia, France, Sweden, and the German state of Saxony fought on the side of Maria Theresa. England supported Frederick. This war, like most armed conflicts of the time, found an echo in the New World, where England simultaneously waged the bitter French and Indian War against France.\n\nWhen the American Revolution broke out (1776), Frederick the Great took a friendly attitude toward the colonies. One of his able generals, Baron von Steuben, came to America and served as the drillmaster of the colonial troops. After the war, Frederick paid a high tribute to the generalship of George Washington.\n\nThe general political condition of Germany at this time was pitiable. Split into over three hundred petty principalities, only Prussia and Austria exerted any appreciable power.\nAnd Germany, with no centralized government worthy of the name, customs barriers often a few miles apart, and the feudal system still in force, it is no wonder that Germany was a mere \"geographical conception\" and came to be known as a land of poets, dreamers, and thinkers, devoid of all political ability. In these conditions, which prevailed throughout the eighteenth century and well into the nineteenth, may be found the chief reason why the Germans were looked upon as a politically immature people.\n\nAfter the French Revolution, Europe witnessed the gradual rise of Napoleon and his wonderful army. Germany had to bear the brunt of many of Napoleon's most vicious attacks. By 1806, Napoleon had practically all the German-speaking states, including Prussia, under his heel. In 1806, Francis II abdicated as emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.\nThe Empire came to an end in name, as it had long been dead in fact, during the Wars of Liberation (1813-15). The German states freed themselves from Napoleon's yoke and, along with Austria, formed the German Confederation (der Deutsche Bund), a loose league of states that suffered under Austria's dominance. In 1866, a dispute arose between Austria and Prussia regarding the provinces of Schleswig and Holstein. War broke out within the Confederation, and Prussia defeated Austria. This led to the formation of the North German Confederation (der Norddeutsche Bund), composed of the now powerful Prussia and most of the other German states. Austria was excluded.\n\nIn 1870, a Prussian prince became a candidate for the vacant Spanish throne. France, under Emperor Napoleon III, opposed him. A controversy ensued.\nThe German-French, or Franco-Prussian War, of 1870-71. Other German states, except Austria, joined the North German Confederation and swiftly defeated the French armies. France had to yield the provinces of Alsace (Elsass) and Lorraine (Lothringen), which Louis XIV had conquered about a hundred years prior.\n\nAfter the German-French or Franco-Prussian War, the new German Empire emerged under Prussian leadership and without Austria. The Prussian House of Hohenzollern now formed a new line of German emperors, and was guided by the genius of the great Prussian statesman, Prince Bismarck. Germany became quite powerful and wealthy. Political unification had at last been achieved. Germany's commerce flourished; extensive colonies were developed in Africa and elsewhere.\n\nBut in 1914, the Great War broke out. After the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary, a complex series of alliances and events led to the involvement of Germany and other European powers in the conflict. The war lasted until 1918 and resulted in significant loss of life and territory for all parties involved. The aftermath of the war led to the downfall of empires, the rise of new nations, and the beginning of the modern era.\nA dispute arose over the succession to the Austro-Hungarian throne, leading to Austria-Hungary declaring war on Serbia in 1914. Germany, Turkey, and Bulgaria joined Austria-Hungary, while France, England, Italy, and several smaller states took the opposing side. In 1917, the United States declared war against Germany. Late in 1918, Germany requested an armistice, and peace was restored through the Treaty of Versailles (1919), which required Germany to surrender Alsace-Lorraine, all colonies, a part of Schleswig, and significant land in the east. In the same year, the German Reich became a republic, but the Weimar Constitution was revoked in 1933, and the German government was centralized.\n\nRegarding the German type and script, while Roman type has been used for German words in many books, the majority of German publications still use German type.\nThe German type will be used in the lessons.\n\n1.

Double f is written as 6 at the end of a word or syllable (e.g. gluft, glufpbett) and also after a long vowel (e.g. trafte). Otherwise it is written ff. 8 Other combinations of letters printed as one character with slight changes in form are d (e.g. rnadfen), d (e.g. baden), and ft (e.g. traft).\n\nBEGINNERS\u2019 GERMAN\n9.

Here is the cleaned text:\n\n1. Add -er to the uninflected positive of adjectives to form the comparative. Add -ft to the uninflected positive to form the superlative. After an f-sound (bei\u00df) and after -b or -t (alt), add -eft. But after the syllable -enb (beutenb), add only -ft.\n2. Many English adjectives are compared with more and most. German adjectives always add -er and -ft.\n3. Many adjectives of one syllable with a stem in a, o, and u take umlaut in the comparative and superlative. However, the diphthong au (fauler) takes no umlaut. Adjectives of more than one syllable do not take umlaut when compared.\n4. The word than after a comparative is al3.\n5. Irregular comparison:\ngut - beffer\nber befte\n\u00dfod) \u00df\u00f6\u00dfer\nber \u00df\u00f6djfte\nna\u00df (near)\nThe above adjectives are irregular in their comparison. In the positive form, \"fod\" always drops the c in inflection: ter, 33aum ift fod). \u00a3er ssose 93aum. Note the difference in idiom: Tie meifteu Gsintoofyner, Most inhabitants. Note particularly the superlative form greatest-*. 9Jhmden ift gro\u00df. Tete gro\u00dfe atabt. Hamburg ift greater. Tie greater atabt. i\u00f6ertin ift am greatest. $ie greatest atabt. The German superlative can be used in the forms am -fteu and ber (bie, ba3) -fte. Use the form am -fteu only in the predicate when no noun can readily be supplied (e.g. Berlin is largest). Otherwise use ber (bie, baS) -fte. The form am -fteu is also the superlative of the adverb (e.g. tauge, tanger, am t\u00e4ngften). Adverb gern.\nI like to work. I prefer to play best. I like to read all. The German word \"gern\" (compared to \"lieber,\" \"am tiebften\"), when used with verbs, means to like (along with the meaning of the verb).\n\nAdjectives as Nouns:\nber 9teid)e the rich man\nbie 2lrme the poor woman\nbag 2llte the old\nein Jteidjer a rich man\nbie Airmen the poor (people)\n2llteg unb  ifteueg old and new (things)\n\nAn adjective, capitalized, may be used as a noun. It then retains the regular adjective inflection.\n\nExercise:\nI. Turn into German:\n1. Most German cities are older than American cities.\n2. Which city is the most beautiful in Germany?\n3. W\u00fcrzburg is beautiful; Nuremberg is more beautiful; Munich is most beautiful.\n4. The buildings in New York are higher than the buildings in (...)\nBuildings in Berlin.

Find the performer, as soon as man enters the third ball.\n\nSubordinating conjunctions introduce a dependent or subordinate clause, i.e. one which, when it begins, depends on the independent clause to complete its meaning.\nSubordinating conjunctions are: although, as (not to be confused with the preposition \"as\"), before (not to be confused with \"ttor\"), but, until, since (causal), that, after (not to be confused with \"nadj\"), whether, obgleich and obtoof.\n\nThe more common subordinating conjunctions are: although, as (= just as), when (in present or future time), whenever, if, that, nad)bem and tnbem (while), because (since, always causal; do not confuse with English \"while\"), menu.\n\nSB: A man built 9?egen3burg, who was called Ben.\n2113: In some town, there was a subordinate person, who built SBalballa.\nSB: He built 2Balfalla.\n(a) Notice that toenn is used for when with present and future time.

Note also that when the main clause follows the subordinate clause (e.g. \u00a38enn man . . v erblicft man), the main clause has inversion because it is preceded by something other than the subject (the whole de-).\npendent  clause).  But  when  the  main  clause  precedes  (e.g. \nSD^an  finbet .  .  \u2666  fobalb  man),  it  has  normal  word  order. \nE.  \u00dcbung \nI.  Turn  into  German: \nI.

As we have seen in Aufgabe XXIII, D, \u00a7 2, there are eight types or classes of strong verbs.\n3. Class 1. The principal parts of strong verbs, Class 1, are as follows:\nInfinite\nfdjetnen\nf djr eiben\nbleiben\nPast Indicative\nfcfiten\nfcfjrteb\nblieb\nPast Participle\nbat gefdjen\n\nNote: The text appears to be a German language lesson, likely related to learning the principal parts of strong verbs in German. The text contains some errors, likely due to Optical Character Recognition (OCR) or other scanning processes. The text has been cleaned to remove meaningless characters, line breaks, and other irrelevant content, while preserving the original content as much as possible. The text has not been translated into modern English, as it is already in German.\nClass 1: Some verbs in Class 1 have a short vowel instead of the diphthong ie in the past tense and past participle. Examples: fc\u00dfeiten, fc\u00dfritten, ift gefdjrlten (tt in past and past participle); greifen, to grasp, ergreifen, to seize, griff (ergriff), bat gegriffen (ergriffen) (ff in past and past participle); leben, lit, bat gelitten (tt in past and past participle).\n\nClass 2: The principal parts of strong verbs, Class 2, are as follows:\n\nInfinitive Past Indicative Past Participle\nbieten bot bat geb\u00f6tet\nflie\u00dfen m ift gefl\u00f6ssen\nfliegen flog ift geflogen\nflie\u00dfen (befc\u00dflie\u00dfen) fcpfe (befdfjlBjj) bat gefc\u00dfl\u00f6ssen (befdjl\u00f6ssen)\ngenie\u00dfen gen\u00dffj bat gen\u00f6ffnet\ngie\u00dfen J\u00f6g bat\n\np.1 flejofien\nNote that the o in past and past participle is sometimes long, sometimes short.

In the latter case, it is translated by the adverb fyer and is preceded by the accusative case (e.g. ift einen \u00e4ftonat f)er).\n\nI. Turn into German:\nI.

Just before the armistice was signed, a revolution broke out in Germany. Emperor William II abdicated and retired to Holland. Germany was proclaimed a republic. A constitutional assembly met in Weimar and drew up a new national constitution, which became the law of the land on August 11, 1919. The Weimar Constitution, which is of interest to Americans as another form of republicanism, can be summarized as follows:\n\nAt the head of the Reich is the president (Reichspr\u00e4sident), who is elected for a term of seven years by all citizens, men and women, over twenty years of age. The president must be at least thirty-five years old. He is the commander-in-chief of the army, but war can be declared only by virtue of a law.\n\nThe German parliament, the Reichstag, consists of the deputies (Abgeordneten) elected by the people. Their term is not explicitly stated in the text.\nThe Reichstag's term is of four-year duration. They are elected according to the proportional system of election, whereby the total number of Reichstag seats is distributed among political parties based on the proportion of votes cast for each party. For instance, if a certain political party polls 600,000 votes and the ratio of one deputy to each 60,000 votes prevails, then this party is allotted ten seats in the Reichstag.\n\nThe Reichstag and the president act as checks on each other. The president may, for example, dissolve the Reichstag.\n\nBetween the president and the Reichstag is the cabinet (Bundesregierung), which consists of the prime minister (Bundeskanzler) and twelve ministers. The ministers are appointed by the president upon the nomination of the prime minister. The cabinet must have the confidence of the Reichstag.\nThe Reichstag, otherwise one of the two must be dissolved. The governments of the eighteen states (Members) are represented in the Reichsrat, which is in this respect comparable to the United States Senate. Each state is entitled to at least one vote in the Reichsrat, but no single state may have more than two-fifths of all the votes. In 1932, out of 59 federal deputies, seven voting members were from Prussia. Although the Reichsrat does not take a direct part in the making of the laws, a bill must ordinarily have the approval of that body before it can be enacted into law. The highest court in the German Reich is the Supreme Court (Reichsgericht). But while the seat of the federal government (the president, cabinet, Reichstag, and Reichsrat) is in Berlin, the Reichsgericht meets in Leipzig.\n[In the year 1933, the German people voted for a change in government which led to the revocation of this constitution.\n\nAssignment XXXVII\nSeven underrated tasks\nStrong verbs, Class 5.

The verb \"m\u00fcffen\" expresses compulsion. Note that the past, id) \"muffte,\" etc., is expressed in English by \"I had to,\" etc.\n\n1.

Do not confuse it with \"toil\" or \"geben,\" which mean \"to give\" in German. \"Tootten\" can also mean \"to claim\" or \"to profess,\" as in the last two examples, particularly with the perfect infinitive (gefeben haben).\n\n1.

All these schools are public property and operate under government supervision. Private and denominational schools are few in number.\n\nIn the elementary school, the usual elements, i.e. reading, writing, and arithmetic, are taught.\nWriting, arithmetic, geography, and history are taught in school. If a pupil intends to pursue a university course and prepare for a profession, he leaves the Volksschule after four years and enters a secondary school. If he has no such plans, he continues attending the Volksschule and then enters a continuation school. In the continuation school, as in the American evening school and trade school, he receives practical training in some particular craft or trade. There are separate continuation schools, and usually separate elementary schools, for girls. Every German citizen is required to attend school for at least eight years.\n\nThose who plan to enter a secondary school must choose among the four types mentioned above. The Gymnasium is a school of the old humanistic type, the classical high school.

At the age of eighteen or nineteen, the pupil (her teacher) is ready to enter the university or a similar institution. He then becomes a student (Decubent). He registers for courses (bag Scholar, bte Hechter) and attends the lectures (bte instructor-functions) of his professors. As a student, he enjoys much freedom. Attendance at lectures is not compulsory, and examinations are not given at the end of individual courses. The student may matriculate (i.e. enter) in any semester, remain in attendance as long as he wishes, and attend different universities in different semesters. There is no prescribed four-year course. Nor does the German university grant the degrees of A.B. or A.M.; it awards only the Ph.D. Before securing this, however, the student must.\n[The text consists of a mix of English and German, and it appears to be a list of facts about German education system and an exercise in German grammar.

(Von dem Fenster aus blickte er hinaus.) \n- Here, I start from. (Hier beginne ich.) \n- Too, from where, do we start?

Pigs lay, they often tore apart the old parchment, and sometimes the ink was completely dry. In the beginning, I came across an old man, who had long given up hope, but we greeted each other personally. I often felt uncomfortable with him because of his appearance, but he rarely reacted. His wrinkled face bore witness to his age, and he rarely smiled. He often rubbed his hands in the campfire, and I could see the veins on his hands. The pigs often tore apart the pages, and he had to keep replacing them. He often performed for us, and we sat opposite each other at a broad table. He never complained about it.\n\n1.

Reflexive verbs. Review Aufgabe XXVI, D, \u00a7 1. Note the new reflexive verbs in the present lesson, e.g., ich erhole mich, I recover; ich bin fdjaem mich, I am ashamed; ich bin forge mich, I am worried; ich erinnere mich, I remember, etc. Note also that none of the corresponding verbs in English are reflexive; reflexive verbs are much commoner in German.\n2. Reflexive in dative\nIch fdjaeme mir freudig, cordially, ich bin forge mich, I am worried; sie fdjaenet sich jezt bereit, they are getting ready; wir toafden uns je^t bie^t gegenseitig, we comforted each other heartily. (Sr ich fdjaemt mir frei, I am ashamed of myself; er toafdete sich je^t bitter, he reproached himself bitterly; sie toafden fiebr je^t bie^t gegenseitig, they comforted each other fiercely; er toafdete sich je^t bescheiden, he humbled himself.)\nMost reflexive verbs have the reflexive pronoun in the dative.\naccusative, but some (e.g. id) have it in the dative. Note that fief is either dative or accusative. Since reflexives always have an object, their auxiliary is always haben.\n\n1. Reciprocals\n2Bir begr\u00fcben ng. 2\u00f6ir begr\u00fcben einander.\nThe sinber love einander (or fid)\nHere ng, fid, and einander mean each other. That is, ng and fid (also eudj) serve not only as reflexives (ourselves, themselves, yourselves) but also as reciprocals (each other).\n\nBut sometimes there may be confusion as to their meaning:\nthe expression Tie sinber love fid may mean either The children love each other, or The children love themselves. In such a case einander is used to express clearly the idea of each other.\n\n4. Impersonal verbs\neg regnet eg batte geregnet\neg regnete eg toirb regnen\neg bat geregnet eg toirb geregnet haben\n\nBeginners\u2019 German\nI. Impersonal verbs are those which have the indefinite pronoun eg or some inanimate object as their subject and are generally used only in the third singular. To conjugate them, change the pronoun: eg gelingt mir, I succeed; eg gelingt dir, you succeed; eg gelingt ihm, he succeeds, etc. The verb gefallen is not always impersonal; it may also be used with a personal subject: er gef\u00e4llt mir, I like him; ich gefalle ihm, he pleases me.\n\nI. Turn into German:\n1. Er war verlegen, weil er nicht erinnern konnte, was ich gesagt hatte. (He was ashamed because he could not remember what I had said.)\n2. Coblenz hat mich nicht gefallen.

The  burn\u00ac \nGerman literature is very old and can be traced back to the beginning of the ninth century (800 a.d.), during the age of Charlemagne, who was a friend of the arts. The old hero legends, featuring the pagan gods of Germanic mythology such as Odin, Thor, and Freya, are even older. Two distinct periods can be identified in German literature. The first, known as the Middle High German period, began around 1100 and lasted until about 1300. Named after the prevalent dialect at the time - Middle High German - this period is quite different from modern German. The difference is comparable to that between Chaucer's English (1340-1400) and our present-day English.\nThe most prominent works of the Middle High German period include the Nibelungenlied, an epic by an unknown author about Siegfried, a Rhenish hero who owns the great Nibelungen treasure. Siegfried's treacherous friends, consumed by envy and greed, kill him for the treasure but are eventually all destroyed by his widow Kriemhil, who takes terrible vengeance upon them. Another epic of this period is Parzival by Wolfram von Eschenbach, one of the numerous stories associated with the Holy Grail. The most noted lyric poet of Middle High German times is Walther von der Vogelweide. His love songs, called Minnelieder in the language of their day, are famous. Walther von der Vogelweide can be compared to the troubadours of southern France, who lived around the same time.\nThe greatest German writers and poets flourished around 1770 towards the end of the eighteenth century. Notable figures include Lessing, a critical thinker and dramatic writer; Goethe, the most celebrated German poet and man of letters; and Schiller, a distinguished dramatic poet. These three are the famous classical writers of Germany. Every educated German reads their works and is influenced by their spirit.\n\nLessing's best-known work is Nathan the Wise, a drama. Goethe is praised primarily for his short lyric poems, among the finest ever written in any language, and his monumental life work, Faust, a philosophical drama embodying the whole experience and wisdom of its sage author. Schiller is remembered mainly for his spirited drama Wilhelm Tell. The literature of this period is in general:\n\nGerman literature flourished towards the end of the eighteenth century (around 1770).

Schiller is remembered mainly for his spirited drama Wilhelm Tell. The literature of this period is in general.\nHeine, a poet of the first half of the nineteenth century, was marked by classical finish and perfection. His lyrics, barely surpassed by Goethe's in beauty and charm, concealed stinging wit and sarcasm. A Jew, he felt persecuted and thus moved to France, where he spent the last twenty-five years of his life.\n\nNotable German writers of the present age include Gerhart Hauptmann, who combines the power of exact reproduction with a keen feeling for poetic values; Arthur Schnitzler, who has forcibly depicted some of the psychic problems of our nervous age; and Thomas Mann, who has grasped the spirit of the times and represented it in a vivid style.\n\nGerman literature as a whole is characterized by great depth.\n\nGerhart Hauptmann (@erf)art\nArthur Schnitzler\nThomas Mann\n[depth and nobility.

It denotes separation. For instance, laufen = to run; entlaufen = to run away from. Before f, this prefix becomes emp-, as in empfehlen, to recommend.\n(c) er- denotes achievement, attainment. For example, halten = to hold.\nTo hold; erhalten = to uphold, preserve. Thus: brechen = to break; erbrechen = to break open.\n\n(d) Ge- originally had the idea of completion, but has usually lost its original force. Compare gelangen, to arrive; gelingen, to succeed.\n\n(e) Ber- often is equivalent to English for, as in bieten; forget, bergeffen. Sometimes it means away from, as in berlaffen, to desert; berbrennen, to burn up. In still other cases it signifies astray, amiss, as in berf\u00fchren, to mislead; beraten, to betray.\n\n(/) Jer- expresses complete destruction. Thus: retten = to tear, while erretfen = to tear to pieces.\n\n1. Nouns derived from inseparable verbs. Nouns derived from inseparable verbs also have the accent on the root syllable. Examples: ber begriff, bie (Sittung, bie (Salfelung, bie Serfp\u00fctung, bag Serb\u00e4lning, ber $erleger.\n\n3. Verbs in \u2014 teren.\nVerbs in -teren, usually foreign in origin and always weak, have the same characteristics as the inseparables. That is:\n\n(a) The accent is not on the first syllable, but on the -te- of the ending;\n(b) These verbs have no ge- in the past participle.\n\nVerbs newly coined or borrowed from other languages usually end in -teren. Examples: telegraphieren, to telegraph; telephonteren, to telephone.\n\nExercise E.\n\nI. Translate into German:\nI. Have you studied the poems of that German poet? 2.

Rammatif.\nAttachable adverbs contrast inseparable prefixes treated in last two lessons. In German, certain adverbs are closely associated with the verb, which we'll call attachable adverbs. The commonest are: ab - off, l)tn - away (from speaker), an - at, thither; auf - on, mit - along, out - nacb - after, ein - in, Dor - before, ber - toward (speaker), jn - to, hither, $urM - back, jufammen - together.\n\nAdverbs at end of clauses:\nT)ie - once goes early morning on,\n\u00a3)ie - once went early morning on,\n\u00a9eht - each goes once early morning on?\n\nIn normal and inverted word order, these adverbs stand at the end of their clause. In imperative, they also stand at the end of the clause.\n\nThree cases where these attachable adverbs are attached to (i.e. written as the first part) the verb:\n(a) In the infinitive with or without gu. Examples: \"The cone\" \"tten rb\" \"fr\u00fchmorgens\" \"aufgehen.\" \"The cone\" \"aufgefenbe\" \"fr\u00fchmorgens.\" \"Tete\" \"beginnt\" \"je^t\" \"aufeugehen.\"\n(i b) In the present and past participles. Examples: \"The cone\" \"ift\" \"fr\u00fchmorgens\" \"aufgegangen.\" \"The cone\" \"aufgangbe.\"\n(c) In transposed word order. Examples: \"3 toeifj, bah bie\" \"The cone\" \"fr\u00fchmorgens\" \"auf\" \"geht.\" \"-3$ tuet ff bah bte\" \"The cone\" \"aufgangen\" \"ift.\"\n4. Infinitive and past participle\naufgehen aufgegangen\n(a) When gu is used in the infinitive, it immediately follows the adverb.\n(b) The past participle has the regular ge-, which immediately follows the adverb.\n5. Notice that the attachable adverbs always follow the rules for the position of adverbs, their only unusual feature being that in the three cases mentioned in \u00a7 3 above they are written as the first part of the verb.\n6. Accent.\nThe connection goes on. The connection begins on up going. Three connect to rise. The connection was ift on up gone. The attachable adverbs always bear the accent. When written as part of the verb, they bear the main accent of the compound (auf 'gehen, auf Angehen). Compare English to go AUFGABE LI under and to set up in contrast to the inseparable to undergo and to upset. Nouns derived from such verbs are accented similarly. Examples: ber Hngfng, bie 2lufgabe, bie 2lu3ficht, ber (Sinbruch. E. \u00dcbung I. Turn into German: 1. Yesterday the sun set (went under) at a quarter past seven. 2. When did it rise? 3.

Notice how the adverb affects the meaning of the verb. Thus: anfommen = to arrive, but jur\u00fccffomen = to return.\n2. Meanings of her and fort: kommen hier! Come here (toward the speaker). kommen hin! Go to that place (away from the speaker). BEGINNERS\u2019 GERMAN Note that fort always indicates direction toward the speaker; hin indicates direction away from the speaker.\n3. Compounds of her and fort: Frequently her and fort are compounded with other adverbs.\nverbs: fyerauf, up this way, hinauf, up that way, herauf, out this way, Ijtnaug, out that way, herein, in (to the speaker), hinein, in (away from the speaker). Thus: herein! = come in, but hinein! = go in.\n\nRule 4:\n1. Use of preposition with hin or fjer + adverb\nfafjre aug ber CTabt hinaus. I ride away from the city. (Sr fommt aus Bem mer heraus. He comes out of the room.)\nFrequently, a preposition is reinforced by an attachable adverb containing firt or f>er. Other examples: in bie CTabt finein, into the city; \u00fcber ben 33erg hin\u00fcber, over the mountain.\n\nRule 5:\nTer S\u00f6anberbogel sees a S\u00e4uberung Dor, by him long ber CTabt femh\u00e4lt.\n\nAlways finish one clause (. . .) before beginning the next (bie ihn . . .).\n\nExercise I:\nI.

Sr. to\u00fcnftjes Diesel wishes to translate many books. Ben he is Diesel; if he translates many, when they are inseparable prefixes, as in these six examples: (a) They are always written as the first part of the verb. (b) The past participle has no ge- (\u00fcberfein'). (c) The infinitive's ending is written separately and before the verb (gn \u00fcberfeinen). (d) The accent is on the root-vowel of the verb (\u00fcber- feinen). (e) The meaning of the verb is secondary or figurative (e.g. \u00fcberfeinen = to translate, not \u201cto set over\u201d). Sr. fehl midh \u00fcber. He sets me across. Sr. feilte midh itber. He ferried me across. Sr. fah midh \u00fcber gefeit. He has ferried me across. Sr. ttfirb midh \u00fcberfahren. He will ferry me across.\nThe main accent is on the adverb (\u00fcberfehen) and the meaning of the verb is primary or literal, such as \"\u00fcberfehen\" meaning \"to ferry across.\" This rule also applies to other attachable adverbs like \"burchbriggen\" (to penetrate), \"nberiehen\" (to cover, line), \"umgehen\" (to evade), \"unterfchreiben\" (to sign), and \"burdabringen\" (to press through).\nI.

Like their literature, the music of the Germans is distinguished by depth, nobility, and high idealism. Germany is a land of music and abounds in noted musicians, orchestras, and operatic companies. Every important German city has its own municipally supported symphony orchestra and opera house.\n\nThe modern age in music may be said to begin with Bach and Handel, who both lived around 1700. They are famous for their significant contributions to music.\nFor their choral music, Bach's numerous compositions for organ and other instruments, delightfully sincere and dignified, as well as Handel's oratorio The Messiah, are still frequently heard. Towards the end of the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth century, Mozart and Beethoven flourished. Mozart, an Austrian, composed operas, symphonies, and numerous other works in a romantic vein. Beethoven, a prodigy like Mozart, is generally rated as the greatest of all German composers. His classical perfection symphonies are still admired wherever good music is played. Total deafness during the last fifteen years of his life did not hamper his work. Franz Schubert, like Mozart an Austrian, composed hundreds of rich, tuneful works, mostly songs. His music to many.\nThe finest lyrics of Goethe and Heine have endearned them to music and literature lovers alike. Wherever opera is known, the name of Richard Wagner is one to conjure with. For the subject matter of most of his works, he used the old German legends and epics, such as the story of Siegfried and the epic of Parzival. He wrote the texts for his operas, as well as composing the music, and did more than any other operatic writer to join text and music into an inseparable unit. His work has an incomparable sweep and majesty.\n\nOf recent composers, Richard Strauss especially deserves mention. While his compositions, among them operas and symphonies, are showy and quite modern, they reveal undoubted genius and have exercised a powerful influence on later trends in music.\n\nTheater Sch\u00fctzenfestspielhaus in Berlin\nPainting\nAlbrecht D\u00fcrer, the most renowned German painter, was born in Nuremberg near the end of the fifteenth century and died there in 1528. The son of a goldsmith, he grew up in an environment where the appreciation of beauty and art was paramount. Versatile like many of his contemporaries, D\u00fcrer excelled as a painter, etcher, and wood-carver. Among his painting subjects were the Madonna, Christ on the Cross, Emperor Maximilian I, and a self-portrait. Hans Holbein the Younger, twenty-six years D\u00fcrer's junior, spent the latter part of his life as court painter to King Henry VIII in England, where he died in 1543. He, too, painted the Madonna and left portraits of Erasmus and Henry VIII. Notably, his woodcuts titled \"The Dance of Death\" are famous.\nAmong the German painters of the nineteenth century, Moritz von Schwind, Arnold B\u00f6cklin, and Max Klinger are noteworthy. Von Schwind was an Austrian by birth. Like Wagner, he took a peculiar delight in the old German legends and epics of the Middle Ages, and in his paintings recreated many of their scenes. One of his best works is a large mural painting in the Wartburg representing the legendary \"C\u00e4ngelfreit\" (Contest of the minstrels), in which Wolfram von Eschenbach and other medieval German poets are said to have taken part.\n\nB\u00f6cklin, a German Swiss by birth, spent much of his time in Munich and Weimar. His paintings reveal a striking depth and originality of conception, as well as a masterly technique of coloring. One of his best-known works is \"Die Toteninsel\" (The Isle of the Dead).\n\nKlinger, a more recent artist, won fame through his innovative sculptures and graphic works.\nHe painted many landscapes and portraits, among the latter is his portrait of Bismarck, preserved in the museum at Leipzig.\n\nPassive voice.

He would go if he had money.\nThis is an unreal condition in the present time, expressing what would now be if something were different from what it really is. In such an unreal condition, the past subjunctive is used in both clauses.\n7. Use of present conditional:\nSBenn er (Mb f\u00e4tte), tniirbe er gefjen. - If he had money, he would go.\n(Sr tniirbe gefjen, trenn er (Mb f\u00fctte).)

He took the 53-year-old woman aside and gave her secretly a sign. Whenever he began to argue with the other man, she found herself drawn to him. \"I find your authenticity questionable,\" she said. \"Your arguments are childish.\" But she was unable to convince him further, for he had already died.

Past perfect subjunctive. The past perfect subjunctive is formed by combining the past subjunctive of haben (ich h\u00e4tte, etc.) or fein (id m\u00e4re, etc.) with the past participle.\nExamples: id) h\u00e4tte gehabt, etc.; id) m\u00e4re gemefen, etc.; tdfj to\u00e4re geworben, etc.; id) h\u00e4tte gegeben, etc.; idh m\u00e4re geflogen, etc.; idj t)\u00e4tte geburft, etc.\n\n2. Past conditional. The past conditional is formed by combining the past subjunctive of merben (id m\u00fcrbe, etc.) with the perfect infinitive of a verb (gehabt haben, gemefen fein, geworben fein, gegeben haben, geffogen fein, geburft haben). Example: ich m\u00fcrbe gehabt haben.\nUnreal conditions in past time:\n3. If Senne had had money, he would have gone.\n3. If Benn had had money, he would have gone finely.\n\nThis is an unreal condition in past time, expressing what would have been if something had been different from what it really was. In such an unreal condition, the past perfect subjunctive is used in both clauses. However, in the conclusion (the main clause), the past conditional (m\u00fcrbe er gegangen fein) may be used instead of the past perfect subjunctive. The use of the past conditional is not common.\n\nUnreal conditions in past time may, of course, be expressed in any of the three ways illustrated in Aufgabe LVIII:\n\n3. If, as if the ring were genuine, ob ber \u00dcing edjt m\u00e4re.\nIf the ring had been genuine. The verb is in the past subjunctive when the condition is in present time, as in the first example. The second example uses the past perfect subjunctive when the condition is in past time. The word \"ob\" may be omitted, then the verb is inverted (tr\u00e4re ber Dting ecft; tr\u00e4re ber Dting edgetrefen).\n\nFive. Unfulfillable wishes\nIf I only had money! (or Mb h\u00e4tte! or \u00a7\u00e4tte id Mb!)\nIf I only had had money!\n\nThe if-clause of an unreal condition may serve as a wish which cannot be realized. If the wish is in present time (If I only had money \u2014 now), it is expressed by the past subjunctive mood.\nIf the wish is in past time (If I had only had money \u2014 then), it is expressed by the past perfect subjunctive. When the tense is omitted, the verb is in first place.\n\n1. I would have been permitted to go if I wanted to.\n2. I would have been permitted to go if I had wanted to.\n3. If he were here now, he would have to stay.\n4. If he had been here, he would have had to stay.\n5. I could go if I wanted to.\n6. Yesterday I could not (indie.), today I could (subj.).\n7. I should like to eat something.\nThe man should have stayed home. The modals are frequently used in the past and past perfect subjunctive.\n\nIf the man had not received the ring, he would not have given it to his son. This would not have happened if the father had not had three sons. He could have done it if he had wanted to. He would like to hear the story. Had the judge only been wiser! If he were wiser! If they had believed in the power of their rings, this would not have happened. If he had a son, he would give him the old ring. If the old man had not died, his sons would not have gone to the judge. He acted as if he did not know it. As if he had not known it.\n1. Before and after are interchangeable; then reverse the order of the clauses.\n1. In the past, they only teased, tormented each other.\n2. In the past, he was believed to have stolen, was forced to confess.\n3. Two of them had met, he had two of them in front of him.\n4. Two of them had gone before, he had gone before them.\n5. He would have refused, they would have explained it to me.\n\nIII. If \"ob\" is omitted, insert it; if it is expressed, omit it.\nThen turn present unreal into past unreal and vice versa.\n1.

It describes a man named \"Ischtofftngen\" who always carried a horn with him when he accompanied \"fichte\" (presumably a leader or commander) to the affected villages (nnbe). When the situation required it, he would give a signal. The text mentions that there were often difficulties and that the man had to carry a heavy burden (burd). The text also mentions that the man found the only Son among them and brought him forward. The text ends with the mention of Regen (rain) stirring up the people of Lhotf.\n1. Once upon a time, a man named Bente went into the forest, feeling filled with fear. He met an ancient genie, finely adorned on an old throne before two onanbearing trees. With great trepidation, he approached the genie (Section 3, the tree spoke).\n9lad had given him a magical potion, which seemed to be non-perishable. Often, the genie began to behave strangely. Bon fefbft puffed and bubbled, getting angry, because Bente had ignored his warnings.

There are so many currents and counter-currents, so many divergent and seemingly contradictory traits found in any one national group that it seems at first glance quite impossible to select any really typical and outstanding features. This is particularly true of the Germans. Yet this very fact helps us to uncover some of the main characteristics which set off Germans from the other peoples of the world.\n\nThe average German cherishes his own peculiar views. He is a particularist. Germans would be happiest if they could have their own way in all things.\nGreat Prussian statesman Bismarck once said, if every single German could have his own king. At the same time, Germany is also characterized by mass discipline and unquestioned obedience to authority. Another trait is the German's devotion to ideas and ideals. He places these above everything else, sometimes to the detriment of real, practical problems. The German tends to introspection, i.e., self-examination. It has been well said that if an Englishman, a Frenchman, a Russian, and a German were each asked to write a verb to go with the pronoun \"I,\" the Englishman would immediately set down \"I am,\" the Frenchman \"I love,\" and the Russian \"I sin.\" But the German would ponder a long time and finally say, \"I shall go and think about it.\"\n\nWithout German individualism and all its whimsicalities.\nGermany would not be Germany without its cultural multiplicity, which is hardly found in any other country, with the possible exception of Italy. Protestants and Catholics, North Germans and South Germans, mountains and seashore, commerce and agriculture suggest a wealth of contrasts. This is what distinguishes Germany most sharply from monotonous Russia. But the commanding position of a London and the intellectual supremacy of a Paris \u2014 these two are unthinkable in Germany. No one would claim that Berlin, for example, has given light and led to German taste and ways of thinking. Not only Vienna, but also Hamburg, Munich, Dresden, and Frankfurt are leading German cities. Even in little Bavaria, Munich is rivaled by Nuremberg; and in smaller Saxony, Dresden is emulated by Leipzig. This bristling wealth of intellectual resources is an advantage.\nGermany is full of variety, contrast impinging upon contrast. Here a small, dignified town, proud of its art treasures and aristocratic traditions \u2014 perhaps formerly the residence of some princely family. Near it may lie a thriving, prosperous commercial city. Here the quiet, dreamy abode of a glory that was; there a bustling, noisy beehive of industry. Here a staid, learned university town; there a gay, festive resort. And amid it all, the peaceful rusticity of farm life with its agricultural hamlets.\n\nThe various German stocks are sharply contrasted. There is the square-built Bavarian with his sinewy firmness and coarse but succulent wit; the Swabian (native of W\u00fcrttemberg and Baden), profound in his outlook on life and cumbersome in manner; the Franconian (in west-central Germany), with his mental agility and versatility.\nThe Hessian, in central Germany, known for his activity and attachment to his native soil; the Frisian, in the extreme north, marked by stolidity, faithfulness, and love for his sea-girt home; and the East Prussian, with his determined civic energy.\n\nAll these traits and variations contribute to making up the motley composite which we call the German character.\n\nThe Hessian lived in the eighteenth century, around the time of Charlemagne. Born in 1749, he was ten years older than Chiller. However, Chiller outlived him, living until 1832. The Hessian was not often in Dor.\n[baft zmei grofte Siebter mit einander eng befrennbet findb. 2lucb ba3 mar bet coetfte nnb filler ber gall, biller mar maeh- renb ber lebten zehn gabre feinet leben3 ber befte grennb, ben coetfte bette. geber ber bie bentftbe Literatur fennt, toeift, baft biefe beiben Siebter Diel Don einanber lernten. 3 ift fanm moeglich, coetfte nnb chiller su Dergleichen, benn iftre serbien fei ganz Derf(bieben. coetfte mar ber grofte SBeltmeife.

Subjunctive of indirect statement.\nThe text reads: \"if the Siebter beg reifen 2llterg is frequently stated, that oft Coetbe ber Siebter beg reifen 2tlterg is fet (indirect statement). If it is larger, is Coetbe over Cbifter (direct question)? I asked, is it larger, is Coetbe over Cbilter (indirect statement). In object clauses depending on verbs of saying, thinking, believing, asking, hoping, and fearing, German generally uses the subjunctive of indirect statement or indirect question. 1. The familiar singular is bu babefunnen. 2. The familiar plural is ibr babet gefunnen. 3. The familiar singular is bu feieft getoefen. 4. The familiar plural is ibr feiet geluefen.\n\nAssignment LXI\n3. Use of tenses in indirect statement, (a) Generally, the same tense is used in the subjunctive of indirect statement as was used in the indicative of the direct statement.\"\nThe present subjunctive has the same form as the present indicative in languages such as English, German (fjabc, mir haben, fie fjabert; id) lefe, mir leben, fie leben, etc.). The past subjunctive may be used instead. Example: fie haben biel (Mb direct); e\u00a3 murbe gefagt, bag fie tiel (Mb batten, indirect). Similarly, a present perfect indicative may become a past perfect subjunctive. Example: \u00a9ie haben Piel (Mb gehabt, direct); (S3 m\u00fcrbe gejagt, ba\u00df fie oiel (Mb gehabt batten).\n\nThe exception to the rule that the same tense is used in the subjunctive of indirect statement as was used in the indicative of the direct statement is: A past indicative of the direct statement. (Sr glaubte, ba\u00df \u00a9(biller im 3abre 1805 geftorbeu fei, indirect statement).\nThe present perfect subjunctive becomes a form in the indirect. If the form is identical to that of the present perfect indicative, the past perfect subjunctive may be used. Example: \"Coetbe uub (Sr biller fdjrieben Oiel\" (direct); \"Sr fagte, ba\u00df Mtbe uub Cbtller Diel gefdjrieben batten\" (indirect).\n\nThe subjunctive of indirect statement usually indicates that the statement is made not on the authority of the speaker, but on the authority of someone else.\n\nIndicative in indirect statement: \"Sr mei\u00df, ba\u00df Coetbe ein gro\u00dfer T\u00e4ter mar. glaube, ba\u00df Mt\u00dfe ein gro\u00dfer \u00a3\u00e4ider mar.\" (Sr asks, mte is old (Mtbe has become ift).\n\nSince the subjunctive of indirect statement indicates that a statement is made on the authority of some other person than the speaker, i.e. that the speaker does not vouch for its truth.\n\nCoetbe uub (Sr biller fdjrieben Oiel) (direct)\nSr fagte, ba\u00df Mtbe uub Cbtller Diel gefdjrieben batten (indirect)\n\nThe subjunctive of indirect statement usually indicates that the statement is made not on the authority of the speaker, but on the authority of someone else.\n\nSr mei\u00df, ba\u00df Coetbe ein gro\u00dfer T\u00e4ter mar. (Sr asks, Coetbe is a great culprit.)\nglaube, ba\u00df Mt\u00dfe ein gro\u00dfer \u00a3\u00e4ider mar. (I believe, Mt\u00dfe is a great thief.)\nThe subjunctive is not used in clauses dependent on verbs expressing certainty, such as to be certain or to believe. (b) The subjunctive is not used after verbs of saying, believing, and thinking in the first person present tense, as the speaker vouches for the statement. (c) If the verb of saying, thinking, or believing is in the present tense, the indicative is often used. This is regularly the case in indirect questions when the verb of asking is present.\n\nExercise:\nI. Translate into German:\nGoethe is a greater poet than Schiller. He said that Goethe is a greater poet than Schiller.\n2. Goethe wrote many lyric poems. She asked whether Goethe had written many lyric poems.\n3. Goethe lived longer than Schiller. I know that Goethe lived longer than Schiller.\n4. Goethe\u2019s works are often based on (are) various sources.\n[5. Goethe is believed to have based his works on his experiences. 6. Goethe and Schiller are believed to have lived at the same time. 7. I prefer Schiller to Goethe. 8. The teacher said Schiller died in the year 1805. 1. It was believed that Goethe lived in Weimar. 2. Schiller is said to give often a signal. 3. They believed Schiller to be green in front. 4. He is said to have often been called the chief tormentor in total.]\nThe Severus held him, the greatest poet among poets, who had written those lines about Schiller until his death in 1832. He also mentioned that deep buildings contained ancient, fine green ones.\n\nIndirect Statement (continued)\n\nSeetborn, a teacher, spoke about you being superior to the greatest poets of old, even though you were raised in a foreign land.

Future in indirect statement\n3d) irere drei bereiten eine vergangenheit ergeben (direct).\nDer Lehrer sagte, er irere uns drei bereiten eine vergangenheit ergeben (indirect, future subjunctive).\n\nDer Lehrer sagte, er irere drei bereiten w\u00fcrde eine vergangenheit ergeben (indirect, present conditional).\n\nThe future indicative in the direct statement becomes either future subjunctive or present conditional in the indirect. For the present conditional, see Aufgabe LVIII,\n\n4. Imperative in indirect statement\n(Srgctfjlen Cie nn$ eine vergangenheit erg\u00e4ben). Tell us a story (direct).\nDer Lehrer sagte, ich sollte eine vergangenheit erg\u00e4ben (indirect, future subjunctive).\n\nDer Lehrer sagte, ich solle eine vergangenheit erz\u00e4hlen (indirect, present conditional).\nIn indirect statement, the imperative of the direct statement is changed to the modal \"often\" (usually present subjunctive) with the infinitive. English often has \"should\" or \"told me to.\"\n\n1. In indirect statement, the conjunction \"baft\" is omitted after a verb of saying, thinking, or believing, resulting in normal word order. In a series of indirect statements, the verb of saying need not be repeated for each sentence, and sentences in the indirect form may then stand as main clauses.\n\n2. (Sr said, man said he should find it elsewhere. Sr said, he should find it elsewhere. Sr said, it should be found elsewhere.)\n\nSecondary clauses in indirect statement: (Sr said, that man found it lighter to carry elsewhere, and Pradje praised one everywhere accordingly.)\n(Sr  jagte,  ba\u00df  23eetl)o\u00fcen,  ber  1770  geboren  tonrbe,  ber  gr\u00f6\u00dfte \nbeutfdje  \u00a3onbid)ter  gefoefen  fei. \n.  Each  of  these  sentences  has  a  secondary  clause  depending \nupon  the  ba\u00df=clause.  In  the  first  it  is  toeil  bie  \u00a9prad)e .  \u2666 .  fei; \nin  the  second  it  is  ber  1770  geboren  iourbe.  In  the  first  this \nclause  is  an  integral  part  of  the  indirect  statement;  hence \nit  is  in  the  subjunctive.  In  the  second  the  clause  is  not  a \npart  of  the  indirect  statement;  hence  it  is  in  the  indicative. \n7.  General  caution.  Before  turning  into  German  an  Eng\u00ac \nlish  sentence  involving  indirect  statement,  ask  yourself :  What \nwas  the  direct  statement?  Example:  He  said  that  he  had \nseen  it  was  in  the  direct  either  I  saw  it  or  I  have  seen  it \nand  may  be  in  German  either  (Sr  fagte,  ba\u00df  er  e8  gefeiert  babe \nor  .  .  \u2666  batte.

But when used, it should be used intelligently. Find the entry which you want and then read it through carefully. Do not assume that the first meaning which you see is the one you want. For instance, if you want the German for \u201cto live,\u201d make sure which word you require, Wohnen or leben. Similarly for \u201cmay\u201d: m\u00f6gen or birfen, and for many other words. Every English-German vocabulary presents such pitfalls.
