'Sinking Run, Above Tyrone', 1874. Creator: Frederick William Quartley

'Sinking Run, Above Tyrone', 1874. Lightning on the Juniata River, Pennsylvania, USA. 'Thunder-storms are of daily occurrence up in these heights, and luckless is the stranger wight who trusts to his umbrella; for the winds will turn it inside out, and will propel it forward, dragging its reluctant owner to the brink of precipices, and, after giving him chills of terror, will at length drag it from his grasp, and leave him umbrellaless, exposed to the pelting storm...the writer was wetted to the skin three distinct times when descending Sinking-Run Hill, a mountain about six miles from Tyrone. The view presented by the artist is taken from an old road now discontinued for lumber travel, which starts from the side of the mountain...and descends circuitously to the base of the opposite mountain'. From "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In, A Delineation by Pen and Pencil of the Mountains, Rivers, Lakes...with Illustrations on Steel and Wood by Eminent American Artists" Vol. II, edited by William Cullen Bryant.

'Tyrone Gap, View from the Bridge', 1874. Creator: Adolf Closs

'Tyrone Gap, View from the Bridge', 1874. The Juniata River, Pennsylvania, USA. 'The hills that lie at the base of the mountains show pleasant farm-houses and deep-green-leaved corn. The mountains...look as if they had been cleft asunder, for there is a great gap cut between two mountains. This in times past was doubtless the work of the Juniata [River], and was not so difficult as it looks; for the shaly mountains are very different from the firm limestone, through which the Kanata cuts its way at Trenton Falls'. From "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In, A Delineation by Pen and Pencil of the Mountains, Rivers, Lakes...with Illustrations on Steel and Wood by Eminent American Artists" Vol. II, edited by William Cullen Bryant.
