Excerpt from book: wild rugged beauty of wooded hills and rocky ravines makes it a place fit for the gods but which is inhabited instead by "grandchildren of the devil." Thickly wooded valleys harboring mysterious caves, open into still other wooded valleys, sometimes the water course of a little stream tumbling riotously along to join the river. Or a little ravine may end abruptly, its rocky tree grown sides well nigh inaccessible. The caves of the region have taken on a sinister aspect; the dark little ravines have grown forbidding; the shadowy forks leading from the river valley seem menacing; the region has acquired an unsavory fame in all the surrounding country. And the dwellers in this Vale of Siddem are known to the surrounding country folk variously as "timber rats" and "bark eaters." The ravine is luridly known as "Dry Run," "Hog Hollow," or "Hell Hole," and the old settlers in the county will tell you how, in the early days, a group of squatters were driven out of New York State for fraudulently settling on Indian lands. These people started west, after a general fracas with the government officials when they threatened to blow up the court house in revenge for being driven off from the Indian land. The dwellers in the hollow are their descendants. The families have intermarried and their children and their children's children have for generations lived in little shacks and dugouts in the ravine. Twenty years ago if a fugitive horse thief could reach this region and hide in some cave or wooded gulchof the valley, he was safe from pursuit. Even if the sheriff had the hardihood to follow him into the ravine "the man was dead who'd seen him." Some nuggets of gold were found near the river bed and more families moved into the valley. The gold was never found in paying quantities Books, Fiction~~General, Dwellers-In-The-Vale-Of-Siddem~~Arthur-C-Rogers, 999999999, Dwellers In The Vale Of Siddem, Arthur C.
