This article presents information on the book "The Great Meadow," by Elizabeth Madox Roberts. She relates the progress of a pilgrimage, from Five Oaks to Harrod's Fort in the late seventies of the eighteenth century. The civilization the pilgrims leave behind them in Virginia is primitive enough, yet it knows comfort and plenty. The pilgrims ride forward into a land that is in the process of being wrested from the Indians. These Indians scalp women, they burn dwellings made with infinite patience by one pair of hands.
