Eliza Ross: Or, Illustrated Guide of Lookout Mountain (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Eliza Ross: Or, Illustrated Guide of Lookout Mountain I have known them to go a thousand miles for the purpose of revenge, in pathless woods, over hills and mountains, through large cane-swamps, full of grape-vines and briars, over broad lakes, rapid rivers, and deep creeks; all the way endangered by poisonous snakes, if not with a lurking enemy, while, at the same time, they were exposed to the extremes of heat and of cold, to hunger and thirst, to fatigue and other dith culties.

At this time the mountain was called Grandfather's Jlfountaz'n. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
