“I would offer a word
of advice to travelers from the East and urge them not to turn their faces
homeward until they have visited that magnificent grove. It is a privilege that
not many from the Atlantic States can enjoy, and when it can be had for the paltry
sum of $3 the opportunity should by all means be improved.”

“The writer may be a
little sentimental on the subject of trees and running brooks, but if there
have been any circumstances in his life that he can be thankful for, not the
least of them is that his life has been spared to witness such a reverential,
awe-inspiring conclave of the giants of the forest … they have stood there in
their majesty thousands of years, and will doubtless continue to cast their
shadows over wondering humanity for ages to come.”
