This tract is beautifully undulating in its surface, containing a number of bold eminences, steep acclivities, and deep shadowy valleys. |
Happily these acclivities wound up the interior of the volcano and favored their ascent. |
The country is sufficiently fertile, covered with corn fields and orchards, and intersected by sudden acclivities with flat summits. |
Here and there, towers were perched high up on acclivities which seemed almost inaccessible. |
In many places the only traject was a narrow ledge, with deep precipices beneath, and often steep, rugged acclivities above. |
The Nationals had the advantage of position, their lines projecting in wedge-form towards the Confederate centre, with steep rocky acclivities along their front. |
