During the 21 years from 1924 to 1945 when he was a constant visitor to Warm Springs, Georgia, Franklin D. Roosevelt became familiar with the scenic beauties of the surrounding fields and forests. The splendid isolation of Dowdell’s Knob, with its vista of valley and cloud-land, was his favorite place for recreation, and the outdoor fireplace there reflected his further pleasure in the Georgia scene. One of his last days included a visit there in glad April for quiet contemplation and reverie, as weary pilgrims of old came to the Delectable Mountains.
