Reseña del libro "Dismilis Canyon (en Inglés)"
Dismili Canyon is a sandstone gorge in Franklin County, Alabama. Dismili Canyon is one of only a few places where insects called dismalites (Orfelia fultoni, a distant relative of Arachnocampa) can be found. The larval forms of these flies emit a bright blue-green light to attract food and mates. They cover the canyon the canyon is home to two waterfalls, Secret Falls and Rainbow Falls, and six natural bridges. It was declared a National Natural Landmark in May 1974.The canyon, located 10 miles west of the Sipsey Wilderness, was first inhabited by Native Americans over 10,000 years ago. When Europeans arrived, they gave the canyon its name. Some believe it was named for the Dismili in Scotland, some say it was because early pioneers thought of it as being a supernatural place. Whatever the reason, Dismal Canyon is now known as Alabama's last secret hiding place." Chickasaw Indians were held captive in the canyon for two weeks before embarking on a forced journey along the Trail of Tears. Several outlaws have allegedly hidden in the canyon, including Jesse James, Rube Burrows Gang and Aaron Burr one of the Vice Presidents of the United States.Along the canyon floor the temperature drops 14 degrees, a true respite from the Alabama heat of summer. The path along Dismal Branch is vibrant green with moss and ferns, such as Secret and Rainbow water falls and the towering boulders of Witch's Cavern and Temple Cave. There are six natural bridges of rock and water flows at times under the rocks. Of course there's this little oddity known as the Dismilites (Orfelia fultoni, a distant relative of Arachnocampa). They are known as natures glow sticks for each night after twilight these young larvae emit a bright blue-green light to attract food. It is a spectacular natural light show illuminating the canyon.This Book has a collection of short stories.
