Abstract:

The Mountains were a valuable part of NC, the author proclaimed, initially measuring this value in the types of precious stones to be found in ranges such as Pisgah. Discussed later was their greatest source of wealth—the people. Such people included those there before the arrival of English settlers, such as the Cherokee. Such people included the generations of immigrants and present day resident of Appalachia. The author concluded that collectively they helped to make the area what it became.

Abstract:

The control of wild boar in the Great Smokey Mountains National park has become a contention between Park Service managers and NCWRC officers. A previous agreement provided for the live-trapping of boar in the Park and their move to public hunting lands; however, the Park Service has been moving toward attempts at complete eradication from the park to which the NCWRC are not amenable.

An excerpt from the 1881 Travel Book ‘In the Heart of the Alleghanies,’ this article presents a true ghost story of the Smoky Mountains that centers around a mid-1800s mill on the Cheowah River. A number of people died there, prompting the mills close down and subsequent rumors that it was haunted.
