Blue Ridge Breezes is a book written by Joseph Medley Rowland and published in 1918. It is a collection of poems that capture the beauty and essence of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia. The book is divided into four parts, each focusing on a different aspect of the mountains: the landscape, the people, the history, and the spirituality. The poems in the first part describe the stunning scenery of the Blue Ridge Mountains, including the rolling hills, the vibrant foliage, and the sparkling streams. The second part celebrates the people who call the mountains home, from the hardworking farmers to the colorful characters who populate the small towns. The third part delves into the rich history of the region, exploring the Native American tribes who once lived there, the Civil War battles that were fought on its soil, and the legends and folklore that have been passed down through generations. The final part of the book is devoted to the spiritual aspect of the Blue Ridge Mountains, exploring the connection between nature and the divine. The poems in this section are deeply contemplative and meditative, inviting the reader to connect with the natural world in a profound way. Overall, Blue Ridge Breezes is a beautiful tribute to one of America's most beloved mountain ranges, capturing both its physical beauty and its cultural significance.
