This is ships stationary from the USS Arizona. The letter is postmarked October 2.1939. This is a letter sent to my grandmother by my father. My dad was serving in the United States Navy and was relieved of duty aboard the ship just prior to Pearl Harbor. This is one of only a few letters that have been saved over time.

There are many places in our part of Southeast Missouri that are only accessible by using fords (not the truck – the road through the stream) to cross the streams. Often farm fields can only be accessed by taking your equipment across stream fords like this one. Nikon D40X with Nikon 300 mm VR lens.

West Virginia
By Louise McNeill
Where the mountain river flows
And the rhododendron grows
Is the land of all the lands
That I touch with tender hands;
Loved and treasured, earth and star,
By my father’s father far—
Deep-earth, black-earth, of-the-lime
From the ancient oceans’ time.
Plow-land, fern-land, woodland shade,
Grave-land where my kin are laid,
West Virginia’s hills to bless—
Leafy songs of wilderness;
Dear land, near land, here at home—
Where the rocks are honeycomb,
And the rhododendrons . . .
Where the mountain river runs
