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.
