Piney Ridge Cottage: The Love Story of a "Mormon" Country Girl (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Piney Ridge Cottage: The Love Story of a "Mormon" Country GirlThe wagon road led from the station of Croft straight across the Flat to the Ridge which formed one of the foot-hills to the mountains farther on. Here a narrow valley opened from the hills on to the Flat. In this valley flowed, during the winter and spring, a small stream. To get to Piney Ridge one followed this stream or stream bed for a few miles, until a dugway was reached which led up from the valley to the higher ground on the right. Once on top of the bench, Piney Ridge came into view. If the season was right one would then see a most beautiful sight. Piney Ridge cottage stood close to where the side hill reached the level bench land. The house, small but architecturally correct, painted white, nestled m a bower of green. At the rear on the 810pe grew low bushes; farther up a few cedars Spread their branches; and standing in a nearly straight row, were exactly twelve pine trees, reaching above the dwarfed shrubbery and low-growing cedars. These pines, the only ones to be seen in the valley, had given Piney Ridge its name.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
