Governor MacCorkle's informal history of the resort provides interesting material on some of the leading men who made it their headquarters for rest and recreation ... A chapter on Dry Creek, August 27-28, 1864, will interest students of the war, as will a description of the successful efforts to thwart David Hunter's eager torch." (Krick 106). Very Good binding.
