SYLVA, JACKSON CO.
AND CASr JACKSON
Nestled among the beautiful hills
of Ottalay surrounded by mountains
reaching an altitude of 6000 feet
and more, engirdled by hills easily
climbed, in close proximity to laugh
ing waterfalls and crystal streams,
cradling the "speckled beauties," in
their tortuous journey toward the
Father of Waters," affording all
the allurements of the mountains,
is the little village of Sylva
A short distance from this pic-
teresquse little hamlet, hidden by
the verdure clad hills which rise
majestically, enclosing the twenty
acres, admirably, adapted to ath
letics and field sports, is the physi
cal part of Camp Jackson. The air
is pure,, the sky a sapphire, blue, the
water as clear and pure as that
which drips fronr the foot of the
Alaskan glaciers.. , In fast, it would
seem that Nature had lavishly out
done herself when she gathered to
gether the richest part of those
things that makethe best for phy- v
sical, mental arid (:moral manhood,
and dropped them;here for the in-,
spiration of tiie young man whose
latent powers are being awakened.
