Description:Excerpt from A Virginia Scout It was good to rest in the seclusion of my hollow sycamore. It was pleasant to know that in the early morning my horse would soon cover the four miles separating me from the soil of Virginia. As a surveyor, and now as a messenger between Fort Pitt and His Lordship, the Earl of Dunmore, our royal governor, I had utilised this unique shelter more than once when breaking my journey at the junction of the Monongahela and the Cheat. I had come to look upon it with something of affection. It was one of my wilderness homes. It was roughly circular and a good eight feet in diameter, and never yet had I been disturbed while occupying it. During the night I heard the diabolic screech of a loon somewhere down the river, while closer by rose the pathetic song of the whip-poor-will. Strange contrasts and each very welcome in my ears. I was awake with the first rays of the sun mottling the bark and mould before the low entrance to my retreat. The rippling melody of a mocking-bird deluged the thicket. Honey-bees hovered and buzzed about my tree, perhaps investigating it with the idea of moving in and using it for a storehouse.
