The Natural Bridge and Its Historical SurroundingsThe gem of the idea of this small history had its origin in the mind of Mr. J. Lee Davis, co-author of this work, who is the President of the company now owning The Bridge, and to whom much is due for the wonderful development of this large and important property, and its present high state of perfection. To Mr. Davis is also due the credit for collecting much of the material going into this undertaking. -- Preface. |
