The article lauds Sol Cosner as a pioneer of a secluded Virginia valley named Canaan. It portrays Cosner as a massive, muscular pioneer who cleared about six hundred acres, built a long cabin, and hosted explorers. It recounts his encounters with native hunters, bear tales from his remote homestead, and his steadfast hospitality amid harsh, lawless postwar land claims.
