'coochee

transported myself via the fiat to sautee nacoochee this p.m. --- delivered the "deliverables," as the NPS contract management people might say --- a really great project, at least for me, and i think for them. too ---

now my history will have a life of its own, to be pulled apart and reinterpreted and criticized, which is all well and good and part of the process -- whatever, i'm purty sure that anybody who's interested in the history of those valleys will have a decent start with what i've done ---

addison richards visited and sketched nacoochee in 1842 --- along with the magnificent tallulah gorge --- published in charleston 1843, in the orion, a short-lived literary magazine

it really is a beautiful part of the world
