Excerpt from Mountain Scenery
IT has been the custom, in years past, for the seekers of health or pleasure, as the warm sun and miasma of the low lands warned them of approaching danger, to turn their atten tion towards the North 3 and it is only of late that the Virginia Springs, with all their invigorating powers, have been the stopping-place of others than the proud sons and daughters of the Old Dominion. But even yet the mountains of Western North Carolina, with mineral waters equal to any, and a cli mate superior to any other, are comparatively neglected. And we see even prominent citizens of our own State, year after year, journeying to Saratoga, and other watering-places of the North. They are familiar with every spot at Niagara or Sara toga, but cannot give an idea of the western part of their own State, except as they have scantily derived it from others. Such an accusation, however, cannot so truthfully be brought against our brethren of the State of South Carolina. For many years it has been their custom to resort to our mountains for the promotion of their health, for recreation and pleasure.
