"Location: McKee, Jackson County, Kentucky
Ah, the Glory of the Mountains!
From the book 'Greetings from Old Kentucky,' by Allan M. Trout.
Talk about the glory of the mountains! Ah, friends, it lies deeper than bright sunshine on corn in the shock. It lies deeper than the soft carpet of leaves nature weaves, then gently spreads in the cove and up the hillside. It lies deeper than the red of bittersweet, the scarlet of sumac, or the gold of pretty maples.
On one morning of October 29 I was sitting on the back row in the circuit courtroom in McKee. Up front, Congressman John M. Robinson, of Barbourville, the tall sycamore of the Cumberlands, was making a political speech. Mr. Robinson was talking about the God-blessed privilege of living in the mountains, where the air is clean and friends are true."
