Illustration included in Chapter LXIII, "Among the Mountains -- From Bristol to Lynchburg." It shows two black men working in the salt works in Saltsville, Virginia. In the accompaying text, King wrote the following of the two subjects: "The stout negroes working over the boiling salt were both delighted and amazed when their pictures appeared in the artist's [James Wells Champney's] sketch-book; they had never seen 'no such writin' befo'.'"
