Ziegler, Wilbur G.

Abstract:

In an excerpt from Ziegler and Crosscup's 1881 travel book, \"Heart of the Alleghenies,\" the authors relay mountain farming opportunities beyond the Blue Ridges. Ziegler and Crosscup suggest using Yankee methods to let mountain fields lay fallow every few years, and comment on the Watauga, the highest county of the Appalachians, some areas located 6,000 feet above sea level.
