Abstract:
The account that Thomas Wolfe's mother gave him of a Mitchell county triple murder served as his inspiration for his short story, \"The Web of Earth,\" which was published in a volume of his collected pieces titled FROM DEATH TO MORNING. The triple slaying that Wolfe used as the basis for this story occurred in 1885 at the Miller-Horton mica mine just off present State Highway 226, approximately four miles north of Spruce Pine. Wolfe's mother also related her involvement in the case to her son, specifically her having given shoes to the escaped convicts that had been convicted of the killings and jailed in Asheville.
