Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from More Notes From Underledge
The bed of the river here is only about one hundred and fifty feet above the level of the sea. The river is perhaps a hundred and fifty feet in width, but so closely bordered by trees that the surface of the water rarely shows from a distance, excepting here and there when the trees are bare The hills beyond the val ley rise in steep rounded slopes, and can be seen, tier beyond tier, for many miles, espe cially in the north-northwest, the most distant points visible in that direction being perhaps fourteen hundred feet in height, but the hori zon line is not far from a horizontal one which certainly befits such a line.
