Description
This
illustration
from
Wilbur
G
.
Zeigler
and
Ben
S
.
Grosscup's
late
19th
century
travel
narrative
, '
Heart
of the
Alleghanies,'�
is
captioned
, '
Valley
of the
Noon-Day
Sun
'
(frontispiece)
. The
name
is
a
popular
reference
to the
Nantahala
Gorge
in
Macon
and
Graham
counties
,
N.C
. The
page
number
referenced
in the
caption
reads
, '
You
are
looking
across
a
long
pent-in
vale
. On
one
side
the
Anderson
Roughs
,
lofty
and
impending
, with
steep
ridges
,
one
behind
the
other
,
descending
to the
river
,
reach
away
to
where
the
blue
sky
dips
in
between
them and the
last
visible
perpendicular
wall
that
frowns
along
the
valley's
opposite
border
. The
wilderness
of the
scene
is
heightened
instead
of
softened
by the
vision
of
Campbell's
lowly
cabin
in the
center
of the
narrow
corn-fields
.
You
see
the
smoke
above
the
blackened
roof
;
several
uncombed
children
tumbling
in the
sunshine
; the
rail
fence
close
by its
frail
porch
; and,
beyond
it
, the
limpid
Nantihala
[sic]
,
smooth
and
turbulent
alternately
, and
filling
the
ears
with its
loud
monotone
.
