It   was  tlie   privilege   of   the  writer to m.ake a  '-¦hort auto trip to the Shen¬ andoah   valley   of   Virginia.   There   is no  section  in  the  United  States more bwtutiful   than   this,   esiH^cially  during ] the   sprlfig   months,   when   the   apple I trees   are   in   full   bloom.   Acres   and i acres of  trees  covered  with   blossom.") j of  a woft  white,  shaded  with  a deli- i cate pink, are seen along tlie way.
The A'alley, it is said was naimed by the Indians, Hhenaiidoah, the ''Daugh¬ ter of the Stars." It lies between tho Blue Ridge and t'he Alleghany moun¬ tains, and extends in a northea.sterly direction from Staunton to the Poto- injuc water gap at Harper's Ferry. "The Groat Valley I'ike," chartered In 1837, and now a part of the Na- tion.'ul Highway, runs thirough the valley from. AVinchester to St.avinton. This valley of A'irginia wai>- the fron- the colonies, and ¦was the .scene ,n massacres, the battleground i French and Indian war, and j of many stirring events in the | ^^var; the .s<'ene of Stone\vall ^ Son's valley campaign, and of: Shei'iidan's ride.
