Mark Smith, pictured, read James Whitcomb Riley poems on High Bridge Trail near Delphi Saturday evening. He also talked about the late Charles Gerard, a Carroll County historian. Riley and Gerard had something in common - they both wrote about Deer Creek. Gerard's document, "The Mystique of Deer Creek," has been reformatted, and copies are available for purchase in the Canal Center and from the Delphi Preservation Society. Photo provided
