And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
There are many places known as Chimney Rock. Those are the known ones. What I mean is I know of two places that are only locally known by that name. One doesn't even slightly resemble a chimney. That's because the very large rock shadowed over a famous backwoods still.
There may be -A- chimney rock in NC, but the one pictured above is, I believe, the one in Nebraska. It was starting off point for wagon trains headed further West.
Family visited the one in NE back in 2010 as port of the trip from the Black Hills down the Cabela's Mother ship and merging with I-80.
Chimney Rock is in North Carolina.

Chimney Rock was a marker on the Oregon Trail not the starting point. Wagon trains started further east in towns like St. Joe, Missouri.
ReplyDeleteChimney Rock is NW of Bridgeport, NE a few miles just off US 26. Decent paved road into a visitor center with good access.
