Allen, president of the Massachusetts Historical Society in Boston, purchased 5,371 acres of land on Virginia’s Stony Man Mountain part of which was developed by the Pollocks' son George Freeman Pollock and later became the Skyland Resort.[13] References1. ^1 The [Washington, D.C.] Evening Times, May 5, 1902, Page 5, "Glowing Tribute to Mrs. Pollock's Memory", persistent link: http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn84024441/1902-05-05/ed-1/seq-5/, accessed 17 Feb 2012. {{Portal| Biography }}2. ^Dave Tabler: Rich outsiders vs. the less rich locals at Skyland, http://www.appalachianhistory.net/2008/11/rich-outsiders-vs-less-rich-locals-at.html, posted November 25, 2008. 3. ^LiveAuctioneers: Lot 1535, A 19th C Baby's Portrait, offered by Harlowe-Powell Auction Gallery, Charlottesville, VA, Nov 22nd, 2008, http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/5891068, accessed 18 Feb 2012. 4. ^Dave Tabler: Rich outsiders vs. the less rich locals at Skyland, http://www.appalachianhistory.net/2008/11/rich-outsiders-vs-less-rich-locals-at.html, posted November 25, 2008. 5. ^Clarence Bagley: History of Seattle from the Earliest Settlement to the Present Time, The S.J.
