This is again the same church at Harpers Ferry but from the point of view of Jefferson Rock. He was here and on viewing the scene, sans church, he remarked in 1785 that it is “perhaps one of the most stupendous scenes in Nature.” The river flowing under the bridge is the Potomac coming from the left side of the photo and coursing under the bridge toward Washington, DC. The C & O Canal lies on the north or left side of the river and extends from Cumberland, MD to Georgetown. The river on the right is the Shenandoah as it spills into the Potomac. A beautiful converging of historic rivers.
