Description
In the Light of the Mountain Moon: An Illustrated History of Skyland
Skyland resort in Shenandoah National Park has lodging units, historic cabins, restaurant, and gift shop, all overlooking the Shenandoah Valley to the west. It also has a rich history. Reed L. Engle, the parkÆs cultural resource specialist, tells the story of Skyland, from its start as a business venture in copper mining in the late 19th century, through its many years as a summer camp under the management of the charismatic George Freeman Pollock, to its life as a part of Shenandoah National Park. With details of the people who came to the resort, with many archival photographs, and with a special section of color photographs of postcards from SkylandÆs early years, this book brings a fascinating story to life.
