Unlike the scientific texts that usually describe the uniqueness of the serpentine barrens, this unique travel log describes in lay terms the history and geology of known sites up and down the Appalachian mountain chain. While devoting 5 chapters specifically to the State Line barrens, the author describes the area and geology like a scientist, all with a historical perspective.
