1914. Margaret Hill McCarter became well known during the early
20th Century for her novels set against the background of the
Kansas Prairies. Winning the Wilderness begins: The old Aydelot
farm reached quite down to the little village of Cloverdale, from
which it was separated by Clover Creek. But the Aydelot farmhouse
stood a good half-mile away up the National pike road toward the
Virginia state line. The farm consisted of two long narrow strips
of ground, bordering the road on either side and walled about by
forests hiding stagnant marshes in their black-shadowed depths.
Francis Aydelot had taken up the land from the government before
the townsite was thought of. Farming was not to his liking and his
house had been an inn, doing a thriving business with travelers
going out along that great National highway in ante-railway days.
