“Until 1839 South Mills was New Lebanon, named by Bible-minded people inspired by the great stately Atlantic white cedars, or juniper, that throve in vast stretches of the Swamp all around them.”
Bland Simpson, The Great Dismal: A Carolinian's Swamp Memoir

“The Lake is young as natural lakes go, no more than four thousand years old, and it is simpler to say what did not form it than to say what did.”
Bland Simpson, The Great Dismal: A Carolinian's Swamp Memoir

“Could you go to that log?” I asked him. “No,” he said, admitting the changes in the landscape and in himself, “I couldn’t find that log today.”
Bland Simpson, The Great Dismal: A Carolinian's Swamp Memoir
