Bearded Blunt Wit and North Carolina Timber Tour
A collection of satirical notes on politics and society follows with Blaine praise and jibe, quotes about Harvard students, and a weathered account of a July 11 1884 visit to Marion North Carolina. The writer details a flooding season in the Catawba region, a Blue Ridge ascent, and observations on giant trees and rich farming lands in Linville valley, North Carolina.
