Abstract:
Western North Carolina proved a rough country in the late 18th Century. In this article, the story of Samuel Davidson is told. He attempted to settle the area beyond the Blue Ridge in 1784. Unfortunately he met his demise after he encountered a band of Cherokee Indians. A year later the first permanent settlements would take hold in that area.
