[Footnote 83: One of the natural curiosities of West Virginia
is "Caudy's Castle," named presumably for this individual, who,
Kercheval says, had taken refuge from the Indians on the summit
of a stupendous detached rock standing out from a precipitous
mountain side and having an elevation of several hundred feet. It
is situated a couple of miles above the forks of Capon.]
