Autumn Surprise

I really didn’t think we would have a very colorful fall this year but, all of a sudden, the colors on the Blue Ridge Parkway are as varied and brilliant as we could’ve ever hoped for!

The Little Things

The Little Things

It’s the little things in nature that often bring us the most pleasure! What I loved about this is that the boulder, with a red maple growing on it, shifted at some time making the tree lean…the little offshoot in fall color is what’s special to me. I think it gives balance to an otherwise chaotic scene.

THE MYSTERIOUS "WOMEN'S TOWNE" OF NORTH CAROLINA

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE from Blue Hull Press
CONTACT:
Blue Hull Press • bluehullpress@gmail.com • 607 351 6615 • Ithaca, NY

THE MYSTERIOUS "WOMEN'S TOWNE" OF NORTH CAROLINA

The earliest illustrations of North Carolina, painted by the artist
John White, are coming to America this October. White traveled with a
company of Englishmen who explored the region and left tantalizing
records of their discoveries. One of their most unusual finds, an
Indian "Women's Towne," was never illustrated or explained.

The expedition camped in America for a year, from 1585-86, under the
leadership of Ralph Lane. In his journal, Lane describes venturing up
the Roanoke River with a party of men, finding the Algonquian villages
deserted, and growing desperate for food. He then mentions an
Algonquian "women's town" near the water. He intends to plunder that
settlement's fish weirs:

"... seeing all the Countrey fled before us, and therefore while wee
had those two dayes victuall left, I thought it good for us to make
our returne homeward, and that it were necessary for us to get the
other side of the Sound of Weopomeiok in time, where wee might be
relieved upon the wears [weirs] of Chypanum, and the womens Towne,
although the people were fled."

Historians have not determined why Lane referred to this village as
"Women's Towne." According to Professor Michael Oberg, author of a new
book on the Roanoke Indians, "We do know that women could lead
Algonquian village communities. It may be as simple as Lane referring
to a village community governed by a weroansqua (female leader). But
my short answer would be that we just don't know."

White's map of the region shows two settlements at "Chypanum," in
Weapemeoc tribal territory on the north of Albemarle Bay, that are
divided by the fork of an inlet and connected by a hatchmarked path.
No other villages are shown linked in this way. Was one of these the
Women's Town, led by a Native American woman, or by women? It is
unclear. Explorers reported that a weroansqua governed the Croatoan
tribe on Croatoan Island (now Hatteras), but that village was never
described as a "women's town."

A year after White ventured as an illustrator, he would return to
America in a new role – as governor of the ill-fated "Lost Colony," a
gamble that cost him his daughter and granddaughter. Deborah Homsher
has written a novel, THE RISING SHORE – ROANOKE, about that 1587
expedition. White's daughter, Elenor Dare, is one of the narrators.

"The historical record will always has holes in it, especially when we
search for facts about women," said Homsher. "They left few documents
of their own, and the men who wrote reports didn't usually give us
much news about them. John White painted beautiful watercolors of a
few Algonquian women, but he never sketched his daughter, Elenor, or
his granddaughter, Virginia Dare. So they're hidden. But clearly
Algonquian and English women were involved in these first encounters,
and even if they seem like shadows to us, they had enough muscle to
shape American history."

John White's watercolors, on loan from the British Museum, will be on
display at the North Carolina Museum of History in Raleigh from
October 20 through January, in the exhibit, "Mysteries of the Lost
Colony. A New World: England's First View of America." This is the
first time these fragile paintings have been exhibited outside England
in forty years. For information, see http://ncmuseumofhistory.org/.

reports, see www.risingshoreroaonke.com.

Seeing America Her Way

Seeing America Her Way

I love the Blue Ridge Parkway for so many reasons. One is that you get to meet so many interesting people, and recently, I met the most interesting, and fascinating person to date; meet Sandy Miller.

Sandy lives in Washington State just north of Seattle. I saw her bike first-photo op-and thought it was military surplus at first, and then here come Sandy exiting a trail near the overlook where she was parked.

Right from the first word we spoke it was like talking with an old friend. Is that your bike I asked…”Yep!” and then she proceeded to tell me about it.

She told me she designed it herself and had a mechanic she knew build it for her. It has a modern Volkswagen engine in it, four forward gears and reverse, and a Harley front-end. She did the leather work herself. She said when it was finished she took it for a test drive-she had been a passenger on a bike but had never driven one herself. She said, “I took it out on the road and pushed it to 115 mph,” after which time she said she figured that both she and the bike were ready to start her journey.

Her journey…to see America; She told me, “I’m fifty-nine and I’ve never seen America…I thought it was time to do it before it’s too late.”

Sandy left Washington in April, 2007 and headed south to see the Redwoods; where she said it rained the whole time. In Arizona, while sitting at a stoplight, a woman talking on a cell phone hit her left rear finder and broke the bikes axel. She was having it repaired when she looked out the window and it was snowing; that night it went down to 19 degrees. She told me things got better after that.

Taking the back roads as much as she could to see the “best of America,” she said some kind folks in West Virginia had told her about the Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Parkway. So she decided to take the Parkway to Tennessee.

I asked her how much longer she planned to be on the road and she said she had told her daughter that she would be home by Thanksgiving, “But, that all depends on how many times I stop…there’s so much to see!”

Now, you have to be tough to make a journey like Sandy is on; especially at fifty-nine years of age. However, Sandy is no stranger to “tough.” She told me she started her working life as a commercial fisherman and then became the third woman to enter the Pile Drivers Union in Oregon. She divorced at thirty-five and raised her own children while doing this kind of work.

When I asked her what she was going to do after this trip she said, “Visit my daughter and grandchildren and rest, but…this is my first trip. She said with a wink.

When she gets home she will be putting together a book about her adventure-she already has a publisher. She said, “Just look for my bike to be on the cover.” You can believe, I will be looking for that book!

Autumn Beauty

Autumn Beauty


The Virginia Creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia) can easily reach a height and spread of 30 to 50 feet or more. The leaves are reddish as they emerge then become green. In autumn, Virginia Creeper is one of the first plants to change color. The fall color is bright red. This one is climbing on a very large white pine.
