From Iowa to Virginia and back in one wild column
An odd travelogue recounts a trip from Iowa past the hogan of the White Father Fee Misenhower to Washington 2D Co hospital and then to the Virginia mountains. The author notes birds using stars during migration, floods in Iowa, mountain cabins, private coal mines, and a panther hunting club, ending with rural humor about distant hollers and self-sufficient life.
