The Cedars of Lebanon in the Orient
A traveler describes the Cedars of Lebanon near Solomons grove. About 400 trees remain, roughly three quarters of a mile in circumference, with many aged 200 to 800 years. Largest trunks reach 68 and 49 feet in circumference, and heights exceed 50 feet. Local reverence marks annual visits by Greeks and Armenians at a traditional altar during feast days.
