Wilderness Road - Isaac Miller and Family as seen in Wilderness Road. Miller is one of the few anti-slavery men in our Valley. He was friends with Luke Freeman, John and Davie's father, and takes to religion. His wife Lilly we consider quiet and hard-working. Their daugher Avis is kind of sweet on John Freeman. The other daughter is named Mary. Grover, the boy, is restless in farm work, but right keen on hunting and trapping. Until the quarrels of the War, Isaac was well-thought of in the Valley, and even served on our school board. (Printed verso reads:

The New York Herald Tribune, Sunday, July 3, 1955, said: 'American drama reached for and found a new dimension . . . the touring American public . . . will be moved by it . . . WILDERNESS ROAD is first rate . . . exciting to the eye and ear . . . the singing . . . is rich and right . . . the dances make one wish for more.' Berea is located on U.S. Highway 25, 38 miles south of Lexington. Indian Fort Theatre, the beautiful outdoor amphitheatre, is just 3 miles east of Berea in the Berea College Forest.")
