Wabash River looking south at Ceylon, 1908
| Description: |
Much to the dismay of Gene Stratton-Porter, the Wabash River and Limberlost Swamp areas were dredged. According to Lowell Long, this photograph was taken from the iron bridge, which would have been the railroad bridge just north of Ceylon and Geneva. Of this creek, Gene writes in pages 300-301 of Music of the Wild, A happy song is sung on the Rayn farm, where it is sheltered by trees and a big hill. In full force it crosses the road again, slides below the railroad bridge, rounds the hill chanting a requiem to the little city of the dead on its banks. . . The bridge still exists on US 27. |
