Excerpt from The Fate of a Fool Nature had certainly tired of lofty peaks, rugged hills and deep, dark gorges, when she fashioned the Valley of the Gaston, it is a grassy park some thirty to thirty-five miles wide, within an enclosing circle of foot-hills, nestling like a little corner of paradise in the midst of nature's awful chaos. The Gaston leaves its gloomy cation, where two thousand feet of rock stand well nigh perpendicular, and rolls into the valley where its banks become low and grassy. A little to the west of the centre of this park lies Milroy City, with its tall-chimneyed smelters, its neat dwellings, and handsome hotels. About five miles below, Bowlder Creek rolls across the park to join the Gaston. The surrounding circle of hills shut out the fiercer winter winds, and gentle breezes from the cahon temper the heat of summer. The climate is a perpetual delight, and sick and discouraged tourists ¿ock here from all quarters, for health and recreation.
