Abstract:

The natural features of Western North Carolina and the social and economic characteristics of the people attracted to the region have established patterns of development, economic conditions and social and cultural values that potentially enrich and restrict future development. The evolving patterns of conflict between and assimilation of the generations of natives and newcomers has been a struggle for every generation in this region. To effectively manage this dynamic region, its citizens and leaders will have to understand and work with the physical, cultural, and economic realities that have evolved in these mountains.
