Two Virginians tour New England in the days before the Civil War,
meeting the people and discovering the charm and history of the
region.
In this classic piece which was serialized in Harper's during the
1850's, David Hunter Strother, also known as Porte Crayon, travels
his native state in the company of his cousins and his driver Mice.
The piece is richly illustrated with Porte Crayon's Original
sketches. The Illustrations show Virginia as it was to the traveler
in antebellum Virginia. Crayon travels with his three female
cousins visiting Caverns, Spas, Peaks and Valleys at a time when
roads were deplorable, and visiting many parts of the state was an
adventure filled will mishaps on the roads and accommodations that
were often less than luxurious, but often comfortable and homey..
His sketches of the places and people of Virginia are classics.
